sasquatch's tracker build.

[sasquatch]

from when i got it...

http://www.fordfestiva.com/forums/showthread.php?t=36537

and ill update in this thread from now on...

a few new things i have dont other than fill it up with gas and change the oil are:

painted the rims with truck bed liner


put in the cold air intake out of my festiva


installed a hula girl on the dash


and fixed all the rust in the back... WOW, there was WAY more than i thought when i bought the thing... (the green N"s are spare ones if someone steals mine off the back of the car... its to let other people know that im a new/noob driver... stupid canadian laws...)



i know its not the proper way to fix rust but it works just fine and it was cheap the silicone is just to seal it up, i welded the sheets of metal down good... ill later be sticking boat carpet in the back to stop some sound and if it gets wet it wont mold as fast lol...

and you can see the new speakers in the back too... i took some 1/2 inch MDF and cut that out and coverd it with some speaker box fabric to make it look nice... the carpet im puting in the back should be the same color or close... they sound much better than the factory stuff

not to sure what ill do to it next... im thinking of putting some 6.5"s in the doors... i also need to fix the shocks and brakes and i think im gonna get a 2 inch coil lift and maybe get some 31"s tires i still have to install the lights on the roof and back up lights cause the factory ones are junk...

anyways...

stay tuned

I've seen tracker's at local "mud runs" and they go through anything even in stock form :thumbright:

Nice job we has a suzuki samurai that we went mudding it that was a bunch of fun

heres me pulling it out of the mud hole lol

[graywolf_14]

I always wanted a tracker or samurai with 31's. Shoot you should see how they patched rust holes in my mustang. Tared one in, screwed one in and the other 2 were riveted in. All were just placed over the rust.

I want a 4-door tracker. I'd love to put a 2.0 Ecotec into one. That's all it'd ever need... My sister had one for about 15 minutes... It's in a yard now... *sigh*

[dueces]

nice ride! There is a guy on ls1tech that put an ls1 in his, just about the sweetest thing I have ever seen, ha ha

[Flyin4stroke]

My buddy has a samurai on 38's the guy down the street from him just took his ls1 out of his samurai on 38's he could never get the drive train finished so he is going back to stock motor. I'll get some pics in the morning.

Maybe instead of boat carpet you could just spray bed liner in there. That should help stop sound and is much easier to clean! I have some out door speakers that I used to use on my boat. That can be hosed and work fine! Then you could just spray out your car after mudding!

Loving it so far though it looks great!

With a/c.

[DriverOne]

With a/c.

That's hideous! Give it to me so no one else can see it! Hahaha

[Flyin4stroke]

I wished I had picks of the ls1 one the guy had. It has an after market hood with holes and a scoop its nasty.

[TominMO]

With a/c.

What you meant to say was "With a/c, blah blah."

[Flyin4stroke]

^^ hahaha awesome. It's just like greg too, like you need a/c in the mud hole or at the track. We have to redo the front axle from a jump a couple weeks ago. Aired it out and bent the front axle. I keep trying to convince him to do a turbo swap but he is reluctant because turbos don't like sand.
