[QUOTE="paradisepwoffrd, post: 754532, member: 4561"] The 2nd gen has much more power, and autos seem more common. The 2nd gen has a weaker transfer case, but a 1st gen can be swapped in. 2nd gen has less aftermarket support. If you want to stay ifs, you can get a front housing from a grand vitals, they were steel. Trackers are wider than Samurai. Actually they are closer to the width of a jeep. A toy axle is about the same width as tracker rear. The tracker tcase is chain driven, has a crap low range, and has slip yokes f&r. But you can get sye cheap, and 4.24 gears for them. Some also swap sami case in them. The trackers are geared 4.56-5.13 stock, so there's not much room to gear deeper for bigger tires, other than tcase or axle swaps. But they have a flat frame & 4link rear, factory. My 1st gen was under 1500lbs after gutting and caging, on stock suspension. As others have said, a different vehicle might be easier/better to slowly build into a crawler, unless fabrication/custom is the desire [/QUOTE]
