Yota axles I think would be easier cause they're already the right width and youd have bigger brakes, just convert it to leaf springs. Steering would be a little problematic but its been done b-4. Using Sammie t-case would give you a high gear reduction and slip-yoke elimanation.
Wheel base might be a problem on a 2dr though :-/

i know one guy that has done it with a 2 door.  hes got my fav tracker of all time, heres his page.http://www.cs.umass.edu/~glenn/personal.html

going SAS is hard enough, doing it with yota would be even harder i think.  and what about the wheel base of the tracker?  a kicker 3 won't fit will it?

The kicker3 is only a little longer than the stock kick setup. As a matter of fact the kicker3 with sammy case attached, the length of the stock case from the front mating surface of the transfer case to the rear output is 15" with the kick, and 23" with the kicker3 with sammy, but the sammy output is about4" lower than a kick. I don't see why it wouldn't work in a 2 door, it works in a sammy. Which one has a longer wheelbase, and rear driveline? Could it be the trackick? I think so...hehe! Sorry, had to.

LOL you have your work cut out for you, i hope it works when you get to it and you post some good pics and a good parts list so i can follow you. ;)  i have considered this for a future project also. but not now.  if stu dont want your left over calmini parts i call 2nd ;D

i have also thought it might be fun (not practical) to put a IFS in the rear with tracker parts....  it could be done :-/

your not the only one that thought about it.  it would take more planing and thinking then fabing, but a sammy case with its offset would work well with the tracker front end offset ;)
