NOOB here.  The wife decided she wanted a Tracker while in Mexico for the winter.  Found a really nice 2000 in Denver.  Having had a Scout II for 30 years, my first concern was getting a decent ride. The suggestions on the board were:  1  Tires at stock pressure  2  OME struts and shocks,  Corbeau Baja seats. 

Tires were shot, got BFG 215/70/15 at stock pressure a much better ride.

Seats, The interior is really good, but the stock seats are so hard that they are like a perch.  I found the local hot rod interior guy and he thought it looked like a fun project.  He pulled the stock wire seat suspension system and made new one ones using a combination of springs and a vinyl  pad and added some softer foam on top.  Wonderful improvement and about $100 vs the $750 for Corbeau seats.

Holding off on the OME for now although undoubtedly the stock struts and shocks are bad due to the $500 cost.

Next step is to change all drivetrain lubricants to Redline.  And change the coolant.

couple bits of advise:

put your progress in the build diary's section. and dont use redline. overpriced and under performs. take a peek at this study.

Will do, thanks.  Only using Redline gear oils .   Redline and Swepco are the most recommenced gearbox oil in cars like my old Porsche.  Hadn't though about motor oils yet, interesting.
