Awesome Tracker you’ve got! Here’s what I have on my 93 Suzuki Samurai 1.6L upgraded everything myself, and I don’t have a shop but love the outdoors off-roading so I build my little Samurai. I currently have 37” tires on and front axle was from an FJ60 9.5” diff 5.29:1 and rear axle from a 1994 FJ80 full float axle for the rear both with lock right locker. The leaf springs comes from an Isuzu Rodeo rear spring for both front and rear extended wheelbase 6” front and rear, 3” body lift, missing link shackles articulate above 14”, Ford shock mount for longer shocks for the front and rear, transmission from a 94 Suzuki Sidekick 4wd cut off transfer case chain and patched with aluminum plate upgrade to 4.24:1 ratio connected to the Samurai 6.5:1 transfer case. Power steering box from a 4runner 2nd generation Toyota high steer and connected to 07 Toyota Prius EPS really smooth turning the 37” tires. Made a custom bumper inner winch 9,500LB winch, onboard air compressor conversion from tracker air condition into air pump. Home made rocks slider and roof racks with LED light great for night run, equip with Midland high frequency long rang radio MTX400 for long distance communication on the trail. Broke other axles before but with current axles from the FJ60 front and FJ80 full float rear it’s bomb proof DANA 60 for now. Crawl ratio should be around 540:1. Next project will be a tracker similarity to yours, I think you got one of the badass small rig of all time. I know these small light weight rig are truly most capable than Jeep if build it right. I have friends with Jeeps and they punch through the trails with lots of horse power only to suffer breakdown. Hope to meet have see your rig sometime later in the future. Stay safe! Thanks

dude that almost looks effortless in that ride. great job to all hands that created it. A good driver goes a long way as well haha.

followed your build from Jesse and the lightweight build, sure Jesse wanted you to get the Gen 1 not a gen 2 due to frame width.. love the rig Harry, coming from BC ZUks Canada

Sorry Alex we didn't cover that in great detail. The rear was pretty easy because it is semi float, we just put the rotor and hat over the axle shaft and Jesse Haines built caliper mounts for the Wilwood calipers. In the front I am using FJ80 components, Jesse had to do a little machine work on the hubs but bolted the brake hat BEHIND the hub and then again built custom caliper brackets.

@@HarrySituations thanks for responding. Didn't expect FJ80 front brake parts, but I was wondering if the hubs had to be machined. That seems to be a common thing on disc brake upgrades for these axles. Sadly I don't have access to the tools to make custom brackets anymore, but I'm sure I can find someone to help out when I need it

It is not a very easy question to answer because Jesse Haines built the cage at the same time that he did the suspension and rebuilt the frame rails. I would expect a similar custom cage to cost around $2000 though based on my experience.
