toyota conversion

[trackerkid]

im about to put toyota axles in my tracker. is there anything that i should be aware of when i do this?
a couple questions i have are
steering?
braceing the housings?

thanks for the help

[bigt]

you going with your coil overs or leafs??


stering your gonna want to go with atleast high steer arms.. if not the full kid
bracing you can buy and weld on or do yourself..
83 and earlyer had no as much bracing as the 84 and 85 axles! from the factory

well to keep it simple im gunna stay with leafs but i might go to coils one day. i don't do much crawling mostly just deep ruts and deep swamp mud

yeah man im going leafs too im just going stock samurai leafs for now till i can get high steer and bigger tires..

but if you using yj or toyota leafs then you will need hysteer..

im getting new perches and shock mounts for the rear with a u bolt flip kit,2 rat adapters ,and a sky toyota axle conversion kit which is a plate you weld on 1 perch and another perch you weld on with the u bolt flips for the front.. and i got a set of brake pads for the toyota axles and it was like 360...

then im gonna extend my frame and get new shackles and spring mounts and hysteer in the summer for phase 2 for about 4-5 hundred.. but all the stuff im buying now will work on the stock sammy le afs and then the toyota so im not buying twice... which is why im going to toyotas now instead of spending ANY money on perches or anything for a SAMURAI axle..

I did the toyota Swap IN to my tracker, I bought a SAS for a toyota and fabed everything in, PLus used a 6" Toyota leaf springs all around, has Big lift. The Toyota Brake Lines all bolted right up for me, as THe procomp lift i bought came with new stainless lines. I did have to buy the High steer for 300.00 and Had to shim The front end BIG time to get it to steer correct, It a roller. I am Putting in a Mild 350sbc With some toys, And best of all PROPAINE. All the parts I bought I got offbay for real Cheap I welded all the spiders up as If i wanna steer UNlock a Hub :D The thing should be done in DEc. good luck And My advice... Its Not a Over Night Thing... Have friends over easyer to lift.:beer::beer::beer::beer::beer: And Pizza!

Throw it on ebay it will sell Real fast or bc4x4.com Those guys are allways looking for high steer kits. I bought the High steer for my tracker/yoda conversion from Trail tough and it worked good, I had to Shorten the Drag link from the Steering box to the Nuckle i think i took off 6" Can't be positive, But Like you Money is tuff and The:beer: waiting game contines,

[trackerkid]
