t-shirt Way off track here but.... is your wife wearing a us coast guard t shirt? it looks just like my uniform t shirt and i can't quite make out what it says. and i thought i see a parking sticker in the corner. Back to the regularly scheduled thread....

wow quite the difference! congrats! Mike

Off-roader, Truth be told im not sure, i know ARB says that whatever you use should be capable of actuating the locker three times without the compressor kicking on. Im hoping for that. To be clear, im not using CO2 to actuate the locker, that tank will function as the strorage for the on board...

A bit of back story first. I bought this thing about a week ago from a local hardware store that was using it as advertisement and a general purpose trailer. I really like the thing, but dont really NEED it. I'm trying the thin out my supply of WANT items, and acquire some NEED items. It...

Electrical and Air Upgrades I have been plugging away at some projects lately. Mainly concerning the on board air system, plumbing it properly and having the electrical system up to the task of running it. Everyone loves pictures..... First is a simple stainless steel bar i made when i...

Springs and stuff Progress has been slow, therefore so are the updates. I did however just finish install my OME 911 coils springs. Install was very straightforward; swaybar and shocks were disconnected and the axle was carefully lowered until the new springs could slip into place. After much...

howah you have a pm

I just recently had a similar issue, on my 01 sport with the 3.5. My coolant pipes and hoses might in different locations but it worth checking out. I had burnt coolant residue on the rear of the passenger side exhaust manifold (exterior, near the 02 sensor). The only way i could find the...

pm sent on the compression bag and sink. Mike

Electrical upgrades I knew i wanted a good quality aux fuse box for this build, after searching around my local area i found the blue sea systems 12 circuit negative bus unit at a local marine store. Being that it was the only one they had in stock, and for a good price, i grabbed it...

Sold! Mod's feel free to delete. Thanks Mike

Coils I just got my rear OME coils from kurt and cruiseroutfitters, great price and shipping was fast! Mike

Update Well my brother has been on my *** to get this thing ready for a moab trip in october....i guess it worked. I have begun building and acquring things little by little. I started on my rock sliders, got the main tubes cut out, angled and capped. Also got all the support tubes cut to...

Justice The "locker" ended up being a limited slip, i was waiting on pictures and when i finally got them it was quite clear it wasn't a locker. After that i ened up purchasing the SR rear axle. Now its just a matter of finding an ARB RD154..... Mike

Locker Update To add some tech: I finally got around to tearing apart the 94 SR rear axle, and putting the third member into my housing. When fitting up the shafts (original 01 MS shafts, not the ones from the 94SR) i found that the passenger side went in no problem and seemed to have full...

third vehicle Frumpy, That was almost my exact predicament, i had my daily driver jetta, my wife's a4 (family vehicle) and my tracker (wheeler). The more i wheeled the tracker, the more i wanted to bring my wife and kid with me. The hunt began for something with 4 doors that...

31's My 30x9.5's rubbed on the frame a bit until i adjusted the stops, 31's would probably do the same. Some minimal trimming and adjusting of the stops would most likely be sufficient. I dont think i have any good pics of it flexed out, i did extend the bumpstops in the rear as well, so any...

That was my tracker, i wanted a cheap little wheeler and the tracker/sidekick is a great platform for that. specs were 97 5 speed 16 valve all four coil springs from an 01 grand vitara 2.5 inch lift OME struts up front and crown victoiria shocks in the back loc-rite in the rear me built skids...
