I know I know, it's not a dana 60, or even a dana 44, should be a bit better than sami stuff.
My rig (94 2 door sidekick) has a hybrid tracker center with chromoly sami shafts and outers. Well the housing is tweeked a bit and the kingpins are shot. So instead of building another, I decided to go wild, gain some width, beef, and clearance.
Picked up some scout ii dana 44's. 58ish wide
Trackick shaft left 30 spline d44 right.
Turned down the d44 spiders to fit the trackick carrier. (Middle)
Bored the outer bearing housings, and pressed in an alignment sleeve.
New tube left 3x.300 factory tube right is 2.75x.120. Pic is of the doubled up section
7.5" tracker carrier, with dana 44 shafts, spiders welded directly to the carrier. Think I am going to make a spool for the front and use the factory cross pins.
Tubes and ends, shafts fitted 57.5 wide before brakes.
made the alignment bar pucks.
Got it close, and welded the tubes to the center. cut the "cover" off. plan on making a new one from 1/4" with a ramp profile.
the d44 shaft just fits in the carrier without needing bored.
