It's got a great stance! Good look.  Well done.  Too bad about the wire fire...

We threw a coat of epoxy primer on the bottom half Saturday.  It does look sharp all white.  Probably photo's tomorrow.
Finally got it running without codes.  Still no problem lighting up 33's.  Transmission connection was just loose enough to cause problems along with a broken (wires not insulation) power wire, and a ground with two strands.  Now for some testing.  I will get an air fitting for my back ARB tomorrow, then some climbing test, some highway miles, and start packing for MOAB.

muskegtracker, are you going to make it to Moab this year?  It was in the 70's all last week, it will be nice to get above 50 degrees.

No, I will paint it Green again.  I was getting some rust where I had gone down to metal for repairs, and the lacquer primer was not sealing the moisture out.  I have a few gallons of Epoxy primer, so for now it is primed, all but the top of windshield and roof line.  Still needs some sanding and gouge repairs, but that can be done with the Lacquer primer when I paint it.  It was looking pretty cobbled up with the different body parts and primer colors.  This isn't a bad Ten Foot Paint Job, or bad base coat.

There are earlier photos of color and changes in body parts so not recapping them. 
My brother came over and helped with the Epoxy primer coat we (he) put on my Tracker.


After getting it running I stopped by a friends shop to show him how it has turned out so far.  Had to take the fork lift and see how high before lifting second tire.

It can do 17" in front, and 15" in back.

Yes it looks much better one color.  We used one quart of primer to cover this, and could use maybe another 1/2 cup to finish up the roof and touch ups.  When I painted it the Silverado Green, I used 1 gallon and could have used another quart, the metallic paints take a lot more.
It looks clean, will see what it looks like with the red dust on it.

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner.  I really wanted to go this year, but I'm moving and have too much to do.  Hope you're having a great time and all the mods are working well for you!

Mods have been a success.  Tracker has run good while in Moab,  Drone637's Tracker project has worked just as good.  he ha posted some photo's on Adventure forum.

Hey, I really haven't done much the last two years, so I haven't lost much of my overly long build.  I tried a set of 37's under it, and wasn't much room to turn them, but was food for thought.
I repainted it again, and it is now Grey.
Trip to Moab April 015

I also added some off road lights to the front bumper

It is my DD.  Averaging right at 20 mpg.

I just installed a trailer electrical harness that was Plug & Play.  Got it off Amazon for $23, and was listed for 89-95 Sidekick, 96-99 Tracker and Sidekick, also newer models.  The electrical connector was located behind left tail light, and back about 14" from tail light, taped to the wiring.  I removed tape and plugged it in, and wiped an area clean (with paint thinner), removed double side tape sticker and stuck the electrical controller up against the wheel well.  Then there is a 2" square grommet where wires went out of body that I slit so I could force the Four Pin Flat Connector out through.  Spot tied the wiring to the cross tube, and now I have trailer lights.

I have a trailer harness that connected the same way.  I have used it often, but even towing at or below the gross vehicle limit, the mileage plummets.
