    I think you should paint that little Tracker back to it's original color. Those little buggers actually hold their value pretty good. A lot of RV people love those as a tow vehicle, and they don't make them anymore.

    The Tracker is a big improvement over the Suzuki Samurai. A lot safer. The radiator should be available as the engine and rad were used on Geo's and Suzuki's. The smoke was from all the oil leaks from sitting and maybe whatever stuff you used when cleaning the engine bay. Discount Tire should have some modern on road off road tires. I would go back with the factory rims, those "blade" wheels are horrid! Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!! Good job on fixing all the issues -- !!!! Very good troubleshooting, you got a lot farther than the last owner!

    Hello Mike, greetings from Spain, I have been following you and Randy for a long time, in my town this car is very common, it is a Suzuki Vitara, only very simple and reliable engines, I say this from experience as a mechanic, but the level of You have to check the antifreeze in the radiator cap, not in the bottle, it's just excess, the radiator cap has a valve with a spring that opens when it exceeds the pressure and sends it to the bottle, and by the way, you don't have the tube connected that comes out of the radiator cap towards the bottle, a huge greeting😊
