A few years back I made a snorkle for my XJ. I liked it, and it seemed others did too, so I did a write up on it.

Last nite, I made one for my Tracker. It was pretty easy. But I'm sure it's nothing new here...
Just thought I'd post some pics.





I still have to paint it and do some "finishing touches".

You need the 5.13... because of the smaler engine. I've seen one with 31' tires and even with 5.13 the driver was saying he had to keep the momentum up to climb some hills.


Dan .. is this a 6" suspension lift or you have a bit of body lift also?

It's not quite done yet..

I need to bleed the brakes, finish the bodywork and Herculine the rockers, and (if it ever gets here ::)) install the Calmini 3" suspension and 1" spacers. It rubs the inner fenders, and that's even with trimming like crazy and bashing the pinch seam in. Got Evolution starting on the bumpers (when they have time of course :P ). You'll notice I had to rebuild the lower rockers due to hidden rust. You'll never even notice Once it's bedlined. ;)

Cute. How much of a frame do those things have? Are they a unibody?

It's a unibody, but somehow I managed to fit a body lift on it....  :shock:  :P

Even with the lift and big tires it still looks smaller then the van parked in front of it in the picture. Looks cool though. :)
