My little sammy project
« on: May 08, 2007, 10:15:32 AM »
This started off the be a K.I.S.S. project (keep it simple stupid) but...... things went a little over board. Run down of parts. Sammy frame, sky's wrangler swap, SPRING UNDER, toy axles, rear e-locker front lock right, 4.10 gears, 6.4:1 t-case 34x10.5x15 LTB swampers, toy high steer, rebuilt front axle with longfields, TLC vented rotors,v6 calipers, gusseted front housing. 99 Tracker 16 valve motor with 2wd tranny. Flexed pic has 21" under tire before lifting the other front tire rear was not even close to coming up yet. Building this to drive to the local trails instead of trailering, (that gets old) Hope to have the drivetrain in in the next cuople weeks. Then the body.

Mine was already apart when I started, which made it easier

Probably just a one inch to help clear the motor, everthing else will be cut to fit

Man this project is taking forever  ::) but it RUNS!!!! I was also able to use the gas tank out of the 99 tracker Looks like I will have more clearance between the tank and the axle also. And the nice thing is is it has ALL of the right wire harness plugs.

I keep trying to get my neighbor to roll his 99 tracker so I can get me one of those crummy engines for mine. can you slide a piece of pipe into the rear of the frame or is the tank going to be too close?
