Yeah, they are pretty close. I think it takes all of ten minutes to get out there from here.
It really was a kick in the pants. I wish that the little tracker had about 50 hp more, or about 500 lbs less weight. It makes me start to think about a 22R swap or maybe I need to start looking for a 1.6L 16V tracker or maybe a 2.0L version. For now I'll just have to take advantage of the wet sand when I can.
I'm not sold on the toyota swap because I'm sure that it would add extra weight. Oh well, I guess I'll just keep thinking and scheming untill it becomes unbearable.
