After smashing the Jeep up pretty good at Snofari I decided to build something else to beat on, on the trails. I'll save the Jeep for the Dunes. So I ended up picking up a Tracker.
Specs:
1992 Geo Tracker 4x4
-5 Speed trans
-ghetto mud bogger lift
-4 stock tires that are junk
-Samurai front axle (bent) with Tracker 3rd/gears
-Factory tracker rear axle (full of water/mud)
-1.6l 8v FI
-clean body minus some dents
-cleanish frame minus some, well, keep reading
-Manual steering
It was advertised as a 1992 Geo tracker with 12+ inches of lift. Geared toyota axles. 4x4 needs work.
This is what came out of the rear axle. Muddy water.
Yes, I was the guy to buy "that thing". :teehee:
Turns out it actually had samurai axles, not toyota's, so I was able to get it alot cheaper. Its does run good other than an oil leak on the valve cover, and it also drives. The 4x4 doesn't work so I assume it is something in the front axle, probably full of mud/water just like the rear, but will have to look further into it.
Now for my plans.
-Remove the body lift, maybe keep a 1" body lift to keep the trans and tcase up high.
-Swap in new samurai axles with tracker gears.
-YJ's with all new mounts (no blocks)
-fuel cell
-power steering
-33" mud terrains
-lockers
-cage
-armor
-t-case gears
-To be determind...
My goal with buying this was that it was cheap, ran good, had a clean rust free body, and a clean frame. The old spring mounts are pretty small and should be easy to remove. I will eventually be going with toyota axles and depending on how I like the YJ's I may keep them, or link it.
