    In Today's VLOG I get the RV Tow Dingy Geo Tracker 4x4 out of the transmission shop and take it four wheeling to the river with my friend Felix and Brother-in-Law Bill.

    They took a drive down a dirt road. I was raised on a road like this. I can do this in any car.

    I have a 4dr sidekick. I added a 3" suspension lift, 30" mud tires, snorkel, steel bumpers and a winch. I LOVE it! These are the best offroad bargains out there.

    Thanks for taking us four wheeling with you, I've always had a four wheel drive, wouldn't have it any other way, and yes, lockers make a big difference. Great video.

    Now this is what I call a good time! Nothing like a pretty day and some great wheels and a gorgeous river at your finger tips! I'm in Illinois and have to drive a couple of hours to get somewhere like this, but it's never disappointing! This was a fun one to watch for sure!

  • @christopherneil988
    @christopherneil988 7 лет назад

    I am impressed. That little tracker is not hindered at all. With the new lift and shocks she wont be stopped!

  • @christopherneil988

  • @curly27784
    @curly27784 7 лет назад

    I feel your pain on the lack of a locker in the rear diff. I had a jeep and I would get stuck going over obstacles that were higher than the ground clearance under the transmission. I traded it for a Dodge pickup with FWD that a positraction rear end. What a difference!

    @jeandecker4073 7 лет назад

    I used to have an old, new at the time, Ford Bronco that had the hubs you had to get out and engage for four wheel drive. I think that was my favorite car. I didn't use it for off road, but lived in the Sierra mountains with all the snow. Thanks for sharing your off road adventures, but they sure make me nervous. Stay careful.

    • @CampervanKevin

      Hoping 4x4 / Offroad Companies will see my Tracker videos and step up to sponsor me on the channel. It is quite common they do it for advertisement of their products. I know several people who have had their cars done and they didn't even have a channel. They just drove to different events now and then.

    Looks like it did not take much to use up the available ground clearance. Not sure what a lift kit would cost , but a modest one would be of great advantage I would think. I used to offroad a lot when I was younger. Dont have an offroad vehicle anymore but it seems that most of the places I used to offroad at are now off limits. looking forward to more adventures with the Tracker. Congrats on the cheap fix!

    this would be a great ideal for like towing it behind the RV plus make it into a overlanding vehicle were you have a roof top tent or do like a ground tent with a cooler and maybe a do like a hot tent setup and camp in the winter have your RV were ever that is and explore for a few days just in the tracker

    I love those little things. I did not realize how spoiled I am pushing a button for four wheel drive. I had an 80 Toyota pickup and those manual hubs were a (female dog) to lock. lol.

    actually those Goodyear wranglers are decent off road tires. had a set on a cherokee that I put through the ringer with them. it never stopped. cyotes took down a doe in my front yard one very early spring night it had rained a couple days and my yard was a muddy mess. cyotes ate a small quarter of the rear of the dear and i didnt want them coming back for the next few nights to finish the job so I tied off on the front of the deer to my cherokee and slid around and spun the whole way back about 200' into my field before I dropped it and spun and slid the whole way back but those goodyear wranglers got me through. short of a mud tire I wouldn't trade the wrangler tires for anything for off roading. Glad the trans was an easy fix. as always look forward to your future videos and thanks for all the time you put into making them.

      I would have never picked them, but they are almost no miles on them and only 3 years old. Be crazy to replace them until I need to.

      Won't towing the tracker with all 4 wheels on the ground put some extra wear on the fronts? Never talked with anyone that towed that way before. Assuming it would, probably wouldn't want too nice of tires anyway.
