I have a '92 tracker which I tow. Found the brake lines rusted through in
places. Replaced the front ones and now will replace the rear also. Also
found the rear license plate cover and lights rusted out. Found the plastic
cover on Ebay.

I found my 95 Geo Tracker toad on craigslist a couple months ago. After a
few days I found the rear mat was damp. I yanked it up and found rust
around the rear seat belt anchors and discovered severe corrosion in the wheel
wells, at that location. It was actually underneath the undercoating. I
peeled the undercoating off removed maybe a square foot of corroded sheet metal
on each side. The plastic interior wall was still intact so all I did was
smear Dow Corning 791 very thickly and it hardened quite well and will
probably hold. Now wheel well water wont splash inside. I also had corrosion on
some of the suspension parts and the frame was a bit flaky but I caught it
all in time I believe. There was a frame cross member in the rear, just a
piece of 1 inch pipe serving as a mount for the gas tank and fuel filter,
that was totally rusted and gone in the center about 12 inches. I just cut
that part off and the tank supports are still intact.
So thanks for this heads up, I will actually go out there when the nor
easter blows thru over this weekend and check out the rocker panels. In my
opinion these little trucks are perfect as gmc toads and are worth some
reasonable rust restoration or engine - trans replacemnents in the future. I
looked at at least 10 before I bought this 2 door hard top, the more common
ragtops are ok but seemed less preferential to me.
