Poor man's side by side

Thank you!

I can't remember exactly... but I think I had something like $1,200 into it and sold it for $1,500 I'm getting better at re-couping material costs at least. LOL I'd consider that a win. Had some fun with it and gained some fab experience.

Not sure if I mentioned it earlier, but for this to have been decent off road it would have needed the rear locked (welded for free), a couple inches lift ($200ish), lower gearing ($650sih), and better tires (???) More then I was willing to spend. It was great for gravel roads and the like.

A friend bought an old Tracker dirt cheap about a year ago from a guy who had used it to teach his kids how to drive. It was rough...no doors, no roof, nothing over the back and had been rolled...but just once! It starts and runs great and is super handy around the acreage and with the addition of some larger tires it handles the wet spots super well in 4x4 mode. As an added bonus, the rims also have the same 6 bolt pattern and 4 5/8" pilot hole as certain implement rims do which has already proven useful. It's incredibly handy around the acreage, much better than a regular truck almost every time.
