    2002 Chevy Tracker becoming an overlanding camper.

    I'm starting this project with a camping box and drawers in the back. Have already removed the seats and I'm drawing up the plans right now. I also want to soundproof the truck. It's pretty loud now that the seats are removed. I'm looking for a coating I can use on the truck itself and the...

    Paint on bedliner for internal camping box

    Hi all...wasn't sure what forum this would fit in. So let me know if there's a better place. I'm outfitting my Chevy Tracker with an internal "camping box" (i.e., drawers, sleeping platform). I want to make it waterproof and little more rugged. After a little online research it seems like a...

    Hello from Rockville, MD!

    Hi all....Someone commented the other day on what good shape my 2002 Chevy Tracker is in. When I told him that I'm in the slow process of making it an overlander, he asked "Where would you do that around here?" I realized I didn't really know. Out west it was so easy to find trail. I've looked...

    Renting an overlander in SoCal

    Thought this would be a good thread for the forum on getting started (boot camp). My wife and I like to camp and are debating about getting an overlanding vehicle. Seems like the smartest starting point is to rent one for a trip or two. Any recommendations for a good rental company in Southern...

    Best (or at least possible) trailer for Chevy Tracker

    Forum noob here... Anyone pulling something like this (e.g., a TurtleBack trailer or similar) with a Chevy Tracker? http://turtlebacktrailers.com/ http://turtlebacktrailers.com/trailer-specs/ Looks like it would be too heavy for the Tracker. Mine is a 2002, 4-door, 4wd. Rated for 1000 lbs...
