Alot of us Tracker guys have been talking lately about a kit to add samurai axles to our rigs. Hopefully you decide to produce something. Let me know if you need someone to test out your kit.

Did you have throttle open during the compression test? You can put some marvel mystery oil in cylinders and let it soak a few days. Might bring the rings back around.

hey zack,..iv built quite a few trackers love them ...i also had 2 or 3 sammis...too small inside for my liking , anyways i think id love to see u build that little 2wd up with a sammi case and sammi fr housing ..after all its how my previous build started i started with a 2 wd sassed it etc had a kickker 3 dual cased set up in it but i stripped out 3 couplers between the cases wich made it untrustworthy ,..so now it just has a regular sidekick case with 424.1 sumo gear set in it 529s in yota housings arb air lockers trail slayer kit running 35 wrangler mtrs....the super low gearing with the 5 speed i find myself taking off in 2nd gear in lo range the thing crawls wikkedd
