Default New DD

Well after driving 3 hours to find out that Jeep was not what he described. 1990 Xj? I started looking for other options. I found this 2000 tracker. It's not exactly what I wanted, it fit most of the things I was looking for. After selling my DD I was in a crunch to buy something. 1 week without a DD will drive you nuts.:-( It gets realy good MPG compaired to the F150 it replaced. Driving to comps will be a lot cheaper now.

My first car was a 1993 Geo Tracker. I beat the snot out of it and it always ran like a champ.. even when it was a quart and a half low on oil 90% of the time. The only thing that ever made it slow down was a busted timing belt. Man I miss that thing.

Now all you need to do is get a hold of Calmini and buy a 3" suspension lift and toss on some 31" tires.

I added a universal reusable cone filter that replaces the stock air box. I did this because it was cheaper than buying the direct fit K&N. I was surprised it REALY woke up the litle 2.0 I don't have to plan ahead for highway merging anymore. The down side is it's a little loader now no silencer in there.
