My thoughts about the tracker are pretty much the same but thanks for confirming for me, the second opinion helps. Thanks again.
I'll be looking for some new tires shortly, torsion and spring lift, and a small body lift if necessary. Hope yo see you on the trail soon too.

BTW your jeep looks great, and great posts!

Thanks for the reply! and I didn;t take it as flaming. I completely realize having a newer truck is more costly, I sold a 1992 B2600i 4x4 to buy this truck. It was a single cab and as a daily driver it was alright and it was great off road but I couldnt get a sub in unless it sat in the passenger seat, no room to keep thing dry or room for any people, no weight for towing, I just needed something a little bigger. Im on a budget currently because of the trans, gonna be maxing the car out for that, but even besides that I dont plan on sinking 10k into my truck anytime soon. I'm looking to make her a little more rugged and reliable for wheeling on the weekend. From what I've read I figure I should put in a 2" body lift, crank the torsions, a couple new leafs, couple inch bigger tires and call it a day til I break it. I dont have the extra money right now but calmini makes a suspension lift for my truck for a grand, I think its a 2". I have a 1990 tracker 4x4 that Ive considered driving and setting up for wheeling but I cant afford to insure 2 vehicles and it needs a soft top to boot. Maybe I will end up going the tracker route If it really if that much cheaper, What kind of mods would you recommend? Thanks again for the advice!
