So basically you bought a very nice capable Geo Tracker 4x4 for dirt cheap,then tore it apart so it no longer exists...good job!!

Got the truck back from my buddys shop and he got the motor and carb adjusted correctlly and now its running even better . I worked on the truck this afternoon and got the wipers all hooked up and working . After that I started replacing the steering drag links and got all buttoned up . I also put some padding on the cage around the headrests on the seats just in case . Then I started to make filler panels to cover the gap from the body to the frame around the motor .
Heres some pics !

Well I managed to get some to get some more time to work on the truck today . I made some filler panels to cover the gap between the body and the front frame rails out of some aluminum sheet metal that I got from the local scrap metal yard . I also made a template for the other hole in the drivers side where I cut it to fit the brake booster . Anyways heres some pics of todays work .

Well I had found a deal on craigslist for some 15x14 aluminum weld wheels called and told the guy I wanted them and jumped in the truck and went and got them the next day . I got them home and started to get the old wheels off and the new ones on as fast as I could . I also fixed the exaust that was pointing right at the axle tubes . Aways heres some pics .

Well I got the wheels on the truck and wow did they blow them tires out ! I also cut the exaust tips down a little more . Todays plan is some more sheet aluminum work in the front end wheel openings .
SHORTER TIPS

NEW WIDER WHEELS

Just got home from working on the truck again and its got a bumper and a grill now ! I also cleaned the new wheels with aluminum cleaner . I put a hole in the rear pipe bumper to get my tow point for my clevis .

Well I got the bumper on today after the the brush guard paint dryed and I bent a piece of 1/4 inch diamond plate aluminum to cover the frame rails and to have a place to stand when working under the hood . I also put two tow hooks on the front end as well and finished filling the holes in the fender well on the drivers side . I had a universal shifter boot laying around and I needed something rubber to cover the steering shaft hole and it fit the bill after some triming . Anyways heres the pics .

That thing is going to look like a monster coming over the dunes.

It was a late night again last night working on the truck again and today its going to get loaded on the trailer and ready for the sand dunes this weekend . I got the stock rear bumper on it last night and checked all the diff fluids and the tranfer case fluid and got them all topped off and ready to go . Jumped in it and took it for a spin only to find out that I had a bad u joint in the front drive shaft so I had to drive to the parts store to get one and then changed it . I snaped some pics last night but it was dark so ill take some more before I load it on the trailer to post up later tonite .

Well today was the day I finished the truck and loaded it on the trailer and its ready to go to the DUNES ! Ill be going up thursday see ya there !!
