I have a 90 4x soft top, it used to be blue and now it's just muddy.
I want to post a pic of it on a crazy hill kind of balancing on three wheels.
I thought it was going to roll again. but a friend of mine was loving it.
I'm on a tight budget, and for me, this is mostly a parts car donor, but I've been keeping it in a fairly decent running condition.
I'd like to look at options for a real roll cage, bigger motor and for a solid front axle like rock junkie did to his.

For a roll cage worthy of such a name, you'd need a tube bender, a stock of steel tubing, some steel sheets, and a MIG or TIG (preferable because stronger welds). Having a bench grinder with a rounding wheel helps for better fit where the tubes meet at 90 degrees. Or, a specialized shop miht be able to do all of the work for a decent price... As far as power goes, You could rebuild the engine with a kit (suck as one Rocky-Road has: www.rocky-road.com/kickengine.html ) would proide some results, but a gearing change might be cheaper and bring some similar results (depends on your needs). As far as the solid axle goes, that's out of my league, sorry! Louis |

unless your goin real extreme with your kik the IFS will be of, but if your doin more than a 3 inch suspension lift i wouldnt bother, with 3 inch susp and 3 inch body lifts you can easily fit 31s. 33s with slight trimming. as for power, you can either do gearing changes, run a dual T case setup or as far as hop ups, you would be better doin a diesel swap over a v6/v8 swap. less weight on the lil deisel and can be tuned for more than enuf power for these lil rigs. as for a cage i would go exo if you have any concerns about body damage, if the body is disposable, just do a regular cage. just my 2 pennies

Hey I am actually looking for a diesel swap kit, and some more info. My tracker is great, but still not the most powerful thing out there. A diesel would definitely add some low end grunt for moving some bigger tires. So anyone know where to find more info on the subject?
