My brother owns a mechanic shop and when I put my tracker on the lift I heard crunching upon looking further into this noise I took off the lower molding and found major body rot. The power Windows are loose on the tracks the rear end sways real bad I think the rear sway bars are bad not sure, sometimes rain leaks in thru the tops of the doors the locking hubs don't work so no fwd the differential work but not the hubs I want to do work to this but I cant find any replacement parts do they still make body parts for my model or do you know of some fixes that I can do one last item sometimes the radio wont adjust and all the speakers are blown
Friend for life.

Bought mine with 120k miles. Just rolled it to 700k last month. Change that oil and timing belt religiously. Early maybe. But jeeze that baby will go almost anywhere you want it. No bigger than 32's on a 2 inch lift w/snorkel. 2 ton pully on the front. Took out the back seat, and installed a removable 4 subwoofer radio on 20 ft wires for partying at the river. Just unstrap it, swap power and leave it at another car and go mudding. Lived in it for 2 years. It will be 16 years in February. Still cranks before i can back off the key.

The Geo Tracker was my first new car and I still own it. I've only had to change the Battery and tires so far in 10 years of owning it. Great, reliable and fun SUV.
Fun, Fun, Fun!

Bought this car because I need to rent a car for two weeks while my other was being repaired. It was only $1,400 and had been used as a tow vehicle behind a motorhome. Came with a soft and hard top. Gave my 15 year old his first driving lesson it it (has a 1.6L motor and 5 speed trans). When he gets his license he can buy it from me. I hyper mile better than 38 mpg out of this car around town, but freeways speeds can get scary. Overall it's a great little runabout. Too bad they don't make them anymore.
Goes like a goat

The Geo Tracker 2DR 4X4 is high on the list of fun to drive vehicles with a real off-road capability. 50 state legal catalytic coverter back exhaust to get a few HP to help pull a larger tire change that caused taller gearing. Just don't try to drive it like a sports car in the corners and hold on with both hands when driving in the wind. If you can live with the stiff ride, it's more fun than a barrel of monkeys. I'm assuming the 5 speed manual transmission.
