Title: Dont hate me!!
Post by: trackermad on October 06, 2004, 04:13:12 AM
Ok I know some of you may call me a heritick but I have to tell you about the deal I just made.  I just paid $150 for a rust free 1990 Jeep YJ with 44,000 miles with A/C new breaks new tires (really small) plus a hard, soft and bikini top.  All it needs is one rod bearing for $4.50  ;D ;D ;D  Ireally excited because now i can make it my DD and finally put the locker in the front of my Tracker.  Plus Im looking forward to telling people that I own a Jeep and a Tracker and choose to wheel the Tracker.  8)

$150, yea I hate you >:( j/k  ;D I do wish I would of run across that. I'll give you $250 for it and come pick it up. If you fixed the motor you could always sell it and put a load of cash into the Kick :o

This is great... what's the world coming to... I just got an unbelievable deal on an '04 Rubicon  ;D The Zuk is still gonna be the trail machine for quite some time.
Plan is to use the Heep as my daily driver for a while, then start to slowly turn it into my next trail rig.  (I'm tired of waiting for Suzuki to replace the Sami).  I even told my Suzuki dealer I'd by two Samis right now! One to drive and one for play, but they didn't seem to care. Oh well, their loss I guess.

Ive allready been thinking about selling the jeep for Tracker money but if I can run the jeep as my DD then I can build the Tracker as an even better trail rig.  I tryed last night to do one of my trails with the Jeep and couldnt even get over the first sand hump.  I guess Id forgotten how good the Tracker is.  I got the Jeep from a Doctor at work I dont think he knew what he had.  Rust free 14 year old vehicles are very rare up here.

Don't feel bad I initially bought this truck for $50.00 and did a few mods to make it look this way.

And this is what it looks like now after sinking a wad load of cash into it.

$150 Is a deal and a half dude! Keep wheelin' that tracker.  It'll look cool if you are towing the modded up man's tracker with a stock Heep 8)

Okay, I hate both of you.  I thought I got a good deal when I bought my tintop for 225 and it needed a tranny( not the female personator type).

I'm looking at a early 90's Tracker, 4x4 5 spd, LS model, for 300. It need s a serpitine belt and the fan shroud installed and a fuel pump. It's in great shape!

Gonna turn that bitch for money for the Trail Tracker!

I got one of my parts Trackers (90) for $100 with a couple burnt valves. Swapped a head off my other parts tracker and it ran good as new ;D
