I could not justify the expense of a razor rzr S 900 for 17k plus tax and dealer fees. Probabley would have cost me about 22k by the time I was done making payments.

So I have been looking for a long time for a geo tracker. I really wanted a beat up one that was automatic. I want my friends and family to be able to hop in and just drive it. Most of them are going for about 3k to 6k. I found this one for $1600 bucks and ended up paying a grand for it.

94 Geo Tracker, 4wd, Automatic, soft top, Fuel injected 80hp with only 112k miles on it. It runs strong, no water in the oil. Old oil in it to. 4wd works. Left it running for an hour last night in the heat. Didn't over heat. Ran cool.

I don't really know shiat about these things.



Plans

Chop it completely up. Let me know if you want to purchase any parts.
Here is my Craigslist add.

http://denver.craigslist.org/pts/2455456109.html


1. Cut off top. Save side panels for fill panels.
2. Full roll cage 1.75 DOM or 1.5. (Anybody have 1.5 JD2 dies?)
3. No lift
4. Boat side the crap out of the sides
5. Dove nose front
6. Dove nose back
7. 14" Walker evans coil overs in the back. Sitting in my garage freebies
8. I have a lot to study on the front IFS, leaving stock for now. I will gusset the A-arms and put some reinforcement on the struts with larger bump stops.
9. Weld up the rear axle for locker
10. Manual hubs for the front
11. 34 LTB's that I have sitting in my tire shed.
12. Paint it Toyota white to match the rest of the fleet.



Purpose

No rock crawling, Just fast fun on logging roads and around the cabin.

I am hoping to have this built for about $500 bucks total with purchase after selling off all the extra body parts and junk.

This will be kinda slow build. It will be hard to get time in the garage. Another project for my lady friend to roll her eyes at. I love this kind of build. I am super pumped to build this.

back to work on this thing.

School me on the Autos. I over torqued the oil pan and it leaks.

Get a new one?
run some silicon?

Upgrades? Are there any for the Auto. It works, but I would like it to hook up harder.

Need to do the skins, clean up the wiring and make the headlights work. Get the dam title in my name. I think this will be the hardes.

Good ideas. Thanks guys.

Nitros has been in the plans for a while. Not sure when I will add that. Need to source good motor mounts or fab my own. Motor jumps around quite a bit.

Big expense is going to be stickies and beadlocks. Might not get them this year.

getting the small issues fixed.

I melted the fuse plugs where the fuse plugs into the fuse panel under the dash. Say that three times.

I can put another fuse in, but I am still not getting power to the dash. I removed the head light wiring and made seperate relay and switch for those. It would be nice to able to have dash lights.

I can fix the wires behind the fuse panel. They are not melted. Where is the next step to check?

All. When I turn the little dial for parking brakes and headlights I get nothing. No stereo. Nada. No rear running lights. Brake and turn work. I get that.

I need to check some other items. The electrical schematics on these bring the suck. Even Google Fu is a pain in the ass.

Some real wheeling this weekend. It is a big change going from 47"s to 37"s. You actually have to think and work the rig right. It has been over 10 years since I wheeled with small tires. It kept up with the big boys. The flat belly and long trailing arms slide well on the big stuff. No assist or winchen for the day. I was really happy with how it did.
