nice tires, why not the interco ssr's.....!  how's my old tracker doing?!?

hey man, ive been away for a while i see..  the tracker is doing great but joanne keeps loosing the mirrors on quad trails lol It is a mean machine for sure. I got the trxus mts because they have really good reviews for glare ice conditions.  We will see...they do have tons of siping and look great...and work really good off road so no complaints yet.

Well, I've finally got some work done to it. It still needs a body lift, bumpers, and rock sliders.

2001 GV 5 speed (85k miles)
Rear Lockrite
5.12 gears
Manual hubs
MUD CHILD's (SRCUSTOMS) 2" suspension lift kit
2" lift springs in the rear from the classifieds on here
Rancho 5158 shocks in the rear (installed perfectly, just *borrowed* the sleeves from the OEM shocks)
245 75 R16 Maxxis Bighorns

Just some minor trimming in the fenders for now, and we removed the back mudflaps. It only rubs under flex, which I'm hoping to fix with a body lift, and limit my trimming. There is no rubbing on the street except for the frame at full cock. I do have camber bolts installed, but I still have some negative camber in the front. The plan is to slot the struts shortly.

When we were picking it up:



And, now:




And this was last night:





A big thanks to MUD CHILD for creating an awesome kit, by the way.

That looks great! 

You will have to tell me what you think of the Bighorns.  I had them on my GV for about 30 days and had to take them off.  They were just too loud!  I loved everythig else about them; look, ride handling and traction.  But they were so loud I couldn't hear the radio at 60mph.  Even at 10mph, I questioned my sanity.

Hmm. Yeah, they're a little loud, but I'm used to running 35 MTR's on my old SAS'd sidekick, as well as 35 Toyo MT's on our Dodge diesel. These to me, are relatively quiet. I can listen to the stereo. Maybe it depends on who you are. I liked their price the most I think.

Here is my rig





playing in the yard.

this is my newly bought 2002 suzuki vitara for 500$ Canadian. it needed minor rocker fix, the 4x4 motor had a broken wire,front brake pads and needed also both driver side door handles. its now on the road and din't cost me 900$ including the price of the zuk and to put it on the road!! would take another buy like this anytime!!

future mods: 27" to 29" tires, 2" suspension lift and no body lift, maybe bumpers with removable winch.

Well... after a couple months I have it, it deserves to show it, I just started to modify it, it's almost stock, just a couple of things.

After replaced soft top, new tires, manual hubs, some painted trims, rear trailer hitch, front hitch receiver and a customized rear cooler and fishing rods rack, here it is..







Future mods... roof rack...I need to take my fishing kayak on it..., Air Lift, SL, endless...

Cheers

Both hitch were made as a favor from an uncle, The front hitch was only as a light weight adaptor, for my BBQ Grill which has a 2" adaptor, my "T" shape carrier for the kayaks or a cargo hitch basket, I won't mount a winch or shackle to recover on there, only for light stuff.

The hitch is only a 3" square tube 4" lenght welded to another piece (the same tube but cut it to 2") tall to position the receiver lower the plastic fender, then was welded to a 1/4" wall metal plate 10"x10", drilled four holes under the front bumper and screwed with 1/2" screws.

The plastic bumper was cut it to allocate the front part of the receiver, I wanted to look it as flush as possible.

Sorry for the poor quality of pictures, but if you need specific measures just tell me and I can do it.




Cheers

this is my two 2002 suzuki vitara's, i paid 900$ for the two  still looking for one more for parts lol the green one is my daily driver,the silver one is my new off road project

Here is a picture of my 02 Tracker before the 2 inch lift kit more to follow after winters over.  At the end of summer I did get some brackets made to mount some lights on the roof rack

Having some fun on the beach and in a coconut plantation here in Trinidad..





















The Black GV is running the Calmini lift + body lift + 31"s. I in the white GV has the same lift but with stock sized All Terrain tyres. Guess who won in the tug of war! 

first 4x4 lolll but the wife took it for her 2001 Vitara

i check in very rarely to see what's up since like a total mental midget selling my tracker, i miss it!  my 2nd gen reg cab tacoma is just not the same.  it's good but it's not my super-bitch whenever i want it to be.  the tracker never ever let me down.
