SQRLPWR 4384 Posted November 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 commencing operation shock extension.... the shocks have maybe 3/4" up travel before the bump stops, so I'm going to add 3" to the stock tower 1 Link to post Share on other sites
autumnwalker 1495 Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 This seemed like a well sorted rig when you picked it up - but you're doing a lot to improve / correct. Good stuff as usual. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Good stuff as usual. It is, and I'm really just tinkering IDK the history on the shocks, but they look new, so maybe they were ordered too long, or the integrated bump stops weren't accounted for in the overall length. Easy fix 1 Link to post Share on other sites
SQRLPWR 4384 Posted November 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 Fixed the Zuks rear shocks 1 inch up-travel problem. Rather than replace these nice long Epic Trek rebuild-able nitrogen shocks, I made extended shock towers. Now the ride isn't always on the bump stops, and there's more bonus stuffage 1st pic is shock position at ride height. Last pic is shock position at ride height now Link to post Share on other sites

Jesse made it for me. It's all relative lol...it looks big because the hard top is small. The decal is only 24" at It's widest, so most home decal makers can make up to that size. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

SQRLPWR 4384 Posted December 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 since the Tracker doesn't have a clock, I had to buy one....with built in GPS, speedo, altimeter, inclinometer and compass 1 Link to post Share on other sites
sar4x4 4204 Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 So, you will need a good view of the sky. It is a basically a GPS unit, and everything is derived from the GPS signal. Time, position, 3D (includes altitude), (and position history gives you speed and direction of travel). It may have another sensor to give you the inclination, although having two GPS sensors inside it can calculate 3D orientation aka as attitude, iirc. Link to post Share on other sites
