How come you are selling it?
I am thinking of selling it because I am at a crossroads: I need more comfort for my wife and I'm thinking it would be better to sell this and get something that would be slightly more comfortable. Here is a story!
The story begins like this. This rig has been in the family since it was bought at the dealer. It use to be absolutely awsome, with great interior, carpet, a/c, and very capable with lockers and 5.62 R&P. The rig that was a pleasure to ride in. Whenever a dent was created by hitting a rock, the dent was then fixed. Then it moved on to the next family member. He decided to rip everything out, break the hell out of it, let it sit for several years while it filled up with mud and water on the inside. What makes it worse is that the Tracker never broke down or anything, he just drove and parked. I serious when I say that the night I had to pick it up, I changed the oil before I moved it and he said it hadn't been changed in like 5 years!
I have always enjoyed the Tracker and when I was given the opportunity to trade my Toyota truck for it 2 years ago (after I sold my 10 year project 1971 Bronco), I took it. I added the t-case gears, fixed a whole bunch of stuff and paid out of my nose to get it re-regestered, I now have a great little off-road machine.
But now is decision time. I have spend a lot of time and money getting it road worthy again and now I am slowly working on rebuilding the interior and fixing the a/c in it. So do I continue to put money into this rig or sell it and buy another? I have also thought of finding a good donor vehicle to just swap all the goodies over into. I don't know, I am just looking at all of my options. If it was when I was younger, the current state of the Tracker would be fine. It is so cool to go offroading in, but getting to the trail is not as fun..like I said eariler, it is very crude.
But the more I type, the more I'm thinking of just keeping it and slowly add stuff to it. Anyway, have a good day folks!
