My favorite was when two dove tailed (right term?) K5 Blazers with lockers couldn't make a long hill climb. They got denied over and over... I dropped my 4-door "just a geo" into 4wd, pulled 3rd gear, and walked it up at around 4500 RPM. Never slowed down, never bogged, just went right up. Parked at the top and watched 'em for a while  One of them eventually made it up, I got bored and continued on... don't know if the other made it, or went around. They caught up later, and I got "the nod".

Hah!  Nice!   

I'm sure your's is way nicer than mine though.   I have about 2500 dollars into mine...including the price of the tracker itself.   Stock diffs, stock transfer case, stock motor.....All I have is some ground clearance, tires, and serious skillz.   

I had my 29" Pep Boys M/T tires on, but no lift. Basically the tires are crazy-agressive tread... between that and the Geo only weighing in at probably 2500 lbs (guessing, I don't know what 4-doors weigh for sure), with the weight distributed better over my front and rear tires, I had a huge advantage.

Congrats on rebuild!

Was it difficult?  How much money did you spend?  What parts did you buy?  Any performance upgrades?

I want to rebuild an engine just for kicks someday...I need to learn somehow.

wasn't hard at all, and cost me around $400, bout the same as a small block chevy, but it runs great.....nextime I would take 0.030 off the head.......

Sweet!  Maybe I'll rebuild my small block chevy that's in my Trans Am then.  Sounds cheap enough.
