The only thing to watch out for is debris in the center of the ruts. The beach I drive has a set of ruts used to travel 12 miles down the beach. The Tracker never drags in the center but overwash will sometimes leave debris that is high enough to contact my running gear. Keep an eye out for this and either stop and move it or exit the ruts and drive around it. The Tracker has roughly the same footprint as a Wrangler but is about 1" lower. I drag less than a lot of the camper rigs on the beach.
The Tracker is a little small for surf fishing and can get a bit crowded if you insist on bringing a full surf setup including chairs, big ice chest and 12' rods. A rear receiver hitch will let you mount a surf rack to carry rods on the beach but you still have to carry them inside for the highway. The rack will keep the cooler outside the vehicle however.
If you only take what you need the truck makes a great sand sled. I especially like the 30mpg I get on the 4 hr drive to the beach and I don't have the 5mpg complaint that some of the big rigs have.
Thanks Don

I was really hoping for this or someone else's experience with the same problem.
I've been doing some investigations, as far as TSB's go. I found one...03-06-04-012A. Does anyone know what this is for??
Has anyone else experienced this same problem??? If so, what did you do???
About the stalling. What I have experienced in the past is a build up of carbon around the butterfly flap. As the thottle is returned to idle the butterfly flap sticks and the carbon doesn't allow enough air around the flap to maintain idle. Usually happens as you come to a stop. Cleaning your throttle body with your injectors every 50,000kms or 30,000miles should be good maintainance.
but the 2wheeler cant touch the 4wheeler in SNOW!!!!

I've been having the same problem lately. It's really wierd. My friend's Tahoe does that but it's an expensive car and supposed to do that.
But after spending $700 on...what was it called....compression sensor or something like that...I don't even care. I just turn it off and get on with my life. I think my Tracker is haunted anyway.
It hasn't gotten any worse so I will live with it for awhile.
I also have an 04 Ford 350 that the radio stays on after the key is pulled but it shuts off after the door it cracked

1)sparkplugs checked or changed
2)fuel filter replaced
3) air filter check/replaced
4)pcv check/replaced
also recently i have learned that these trackers/vitara's are known for a idle problem. what helped me was i spray carb cleaner into the throttle body. i removed the black plastic tube that leads to the throttle body and sprayed alot of carb cleaner in there. I manually opened the butterfly to make sure i was getting it all cleaned. from what i read, the problems stems from a issue with carbon buildup and the butterfly not being able to completely close, "most noticable on cold days". what i also did was replaced the plugs and ran a bottle of SeaFoam in my gastank. and since then i have not had that idle that feels like its going to die any second..
the first problem i had was the gears would grind in second and third so i replaced the completet clutch and clutch fork.well come to find out it was the clutch fork that made every thing go bad when we got it apart the pivot rod punctured all the way through the fork this is why the gears would grind and ruin the throw out bearing.well two months later it did the same thing.clutch fork again.this time we took a dremmel tool and made the hole bigger around the fork on the outside of the tranny. that way you did not have to pull tranny.we took the fork and cut out the center and reinfoced with steel and a nut and drilled nut. now no problem with clutch except it ruined the throw out bearing again.when i get the time and money will pull tranny and change.i have read alot here about gear grinding when shifting. well theres your answer it is bad clutch forks.what happens is when the rod goes through the fork it puts extreme pressure on the bearing and causes it to put a groove on the bearing shaft.which that can be fixed with liquid steel and sanded.what makes me mad is that gm has to know about the forks,but why tell us when they can make alot of moneyon repairs.allso the rear bearings are a bad design i have had both sides go out.as for light flickering it is in the alternator bearings, i had the bearings replace for 30.00 if you get belt squeel it the alt bearings.this is on the non serpentine belt models
chris
What I did was douse the center of the belt tensioner with WD-40 a few times to loosen the tensioner. The spring in it freezes up due to rust build-up from the weather or car washes. The noise went away immediately. Once I sprayed it enough and was confident it was working good, I packed the tensioner with bearing grease.
This will help tensioners last and perform longer.
As for the belt, always inspect both sides for hairline cracks and replace as soon as you notice some. It will save you from a breakdown or replacing your engine from overheating.
Anyone experienced and chaffing/rubbing sounds coming from the front diff when the weather gets below 0?
chris
1). Has anyone experienced this type of problem?
If so, how did you find and correct the problem?
2). Any suggestions on where to start and how to proceed?
3). Any Ideas, radical or not, would be greatly appreciated!
A bad 02 sensor will be sending the wrong info to the engine management computer causing a rich or lean mixture. They are not expensive parts to fix.
