03 Tracker LT w/ the 4x4 package (tow hooks and skid plates) plus studded winter tires, over all it's not a bad little...uh...thing. The really surprising thing is it has a full frame.

I know the old ones had full frames, I didn't expect the new ones to.

I learned one thing over many years of wheeling, never under estimate a Zook (Samurai or Track Kick) those little things will go anywhere.

Haha, I think some people on here are missing the concept of the "beater" part of winter beater. An NSX and a Porsche. Those are the bad boys, I would think they make the DSM look like summer beaters!!!

Dead serious, but I wash it twice a week, and it's undercoated, so hopefully it's alright. Just a couple more months!! Hurry up march!!

It's the kind of car that will be turned into a field car in the spring.

The way I see it.. is that if your car is compeletly rust free then it may last forever and keeping it out of the snow would be worth it. but if your car has rust and your not willing to cut and remove it properly, then it will continue to rust till its no good. So if its not gonna live forever, then why make it sleep most of the year. If my mom was dying of cancer, I wouldnt tell her she needs long rests so she could live forever. ENJOY IT!
