I did it myself in my garage. It is a flat Khaki Camo paint sold at Menards. $3.66 a can and covers imperfections pretty well. It took 9 cans to paint my 4 door kick.

It already had the basic rails...I made the rack out of pvc. It is painted black and is very strong. Attached the rack to the rails with ubolts.

REALLY LIKE that color. In fact, there's a Toyota FJ ( just like the one parked next to yours!) at the local dealer less than a mile from my house in the same color. After passing by a few times, I finally stopped to get a closer look. They call it limestone, and it really looks good. I'm really close to going into debt again and buying that thing. What would I do with the Tracker though?
The usual stuff, and 2nd generation Air to liquid intercooled TURBOCHARGER

I basically removed the airbox and installed a k&n cone filter...I plan to enclose it and install a hoodscoop or snorkel at some point. :P

you need to keep the tracker to pull that FJ out when it gets stuck :laugh:  :laugh:

but on a serious note........ a buddy bought one and got rid of it right away. said it wheeled real good but said it drove like crap on the street :'(
maybe it was just his ???

I widened the track with some spidertrax wheel spacers and replaced the stock rubber with some Yokohama all-terrains...it rode like a champ on and off road.
