Trixie the tracker

[Stuntman Autoworks]

A couple shots when we were testing her out.

Well we made it to about 10:30 and the only bad thing to happen would be the passenger side brake line snapping off.... No biggie

 

[DirkaDirka875]

Spoke too soon....

 

[DirkaDirka875]

A couple pics from her first trip out to the trails


and just finished fixing the broken track bar mount a few moments ago

 

[DirkaDirka875]

Been looking for a fix for the whole "not having headlights" problem so after alot of junkyarding i found the answer..... BMW headlights

Fitted them in the desired location securely with masking tape


Brainstormed how to mount them into the location and noticed some old seat brackets laying in the junk pile


Cut and trimmed one of the aluminum pieces


Finally Installed and wired up


Only bad news is that i could only find one set during my exploits at the junkyard so as soon as i find a driver side set I'll be ready to finish up but good news is i can finally see at night. How big of an upgrade is this over the stock headlights you ask? Tremendous upgrade, from what i can tell against the bmw headlights compared to the one broken stock headlight it seems to almost be double the lumens.

Stock headlight brights


BMW headlight brights


All in all, I'm ready to find the other set

Finally took her out for another shakedown to a local place, heres a few pics of how it did

Everything worked just fine, just need gears....lol

 

[DirkaDirka875]

Although there was one problem with the doors.... couldnt see anything past them and they started falling apart on me. Only one thing i could think about doing, half doors

figuring out my cut

and cut made

Bondo Time

And this is where im at right now, just gotta start on the passenger side now

 

[DirkaDirka875]

It's been awhile, but we installed some full hydraulic steering the week before dpg's open ride

Dirka and I got alot of work done on his tracker today. Heres a before shot.



Then we cut the frame off in front of the motor mounts.



Then we put his new to him 37's on and stretched the front out 9 inches.



Then it was time to do some tubework, narrowed the front so we could bring the shocks inboard some and have room for the bigger tires to turn. You can see the shock hoops also. We will be tying these in more later.

dang bro that thing is looking good!!

 

[DirkaDirka875]

Been working on this hard the past few days and got the brace for the shock hoops fabbed up and cut the front so it will clear the tires

And bent up some tube to brace the frame to the new tube work

 

[DirkaDirka875]

stuntman autoworks and i threw a few bends in some tube for the roll bars today

Cage is looking good so far Jason. Gonna be awesome to have everybody's rigs ready for the Flats.

 

[DirkaDirka875]

Got all of my tabs for the shocks and the custom trackbar mount from Chris at MarsFab the other day

Finished up everything and Stuntman Autoworks and I took both of our rigs up to the Uwharrie jamboree to show of our hard work

 

[Stuntman Autoworks]

[clemsonjeep]

I hadnt seen this build on here but it was good to meet you and see it in action at DADFL (I was in the red samurai buggy). You shoul try to make it down to Gulches for the Memorial Day event.

 

[DirkaDirka875]

Oh yea man I'm sure well try to make it down to the gulches for that but I gotta do some repairs first though. Front driveshafts shot and I sheared two studs off of my passenger side knuckle
