hopefully your A-arm design moves the wheel base forward.

Check out the Altered Ego 4.5" lift kit for some tips/ideas on your A-arms and mounting the strut while kicking the front wheels forwards. I am pleased as punch with the Altered Ego kit i installed this past summer.

I would appreciate it if I could have a Gen. 1 " sidekick frame print with dimensions on it" also.  I am modifying my Tracker in December for my Birthday & Christmas presents, and it would be very helpful.

Today nothing really interesting,i just start remove cab support. It was easier than i thought. 4 support on 8 was just so rusty i remove than with a hammer and a chisel (i have to rebuilt a lot of part of the body.... car from Quebec aged very poorly )
 For the rest i just follow the step by Step here  http://www.zukiworld.com/forum/build-diaries-how-to-diy/tracker-body-removal-pics-and-steps/
I plan remove the body tomorrow
picture below

i try one of my new snow shoes cooper 31-10.5x15 on old school chrome wheel (seem to be lift, its just the crane on the tail)

First photo of your Kicker looks good, then the pain begins.  It is amazing what a good coat of paint can hide.  In western Wa. we have corrosion from running on the beaches and in saltwater, also salted city streets, but after the first photo I did not expect to see that much GONE!!!!
It will be interesting to see where you go with this.

No matter how tempting, I stay away from the salt water baths, I can go and drive on some areas of beach close to me too, but having an almost rust free Tracker, I don't even like to drive mine on salted or in the case here, brine washed roads. That's what the beater pick up is for  :laugh: I can't imagine trying to resurrect a body with that much rust. Give me the desert any day.

Good luck with the project, looks like you'll need some.
