I trust this man because he reviews this car with beer in hand

After regrettably selling my first tracker, I have finally returned to this video before going to see my potential second tracker. Absolutely love these cars, thank you for your service in the suzuki community Tony

“Price just went down” fucking love this guy 😂

PRICEEEE JUUUUUSSSSTTT WEEEEENNNTTTT DOOOOOWWWWNN 🤣🤣🤣🤣

"People ride around with no top on, let that carpet get soaking wet and sit there for a month or 2" I feel attacked!! 🤣😅

I have no idea why I’m so intrigued by geo trackers, but I really want one 😂

First things I look for 1. 4x4 2. manual trans

Everything he mentioned my tracker had lol I just welded the whole fucking thing back together

There are some more areas to look for corrosion: The body is mounted to the frame at 8 points. The mounting points at the very front under the head lights are okay most of the times, so are the mounting points at the very back. But the mounting points located ca. under the pedals and on the passenger side are rusted very often. The other mounting points are located in front of the rear wheels. These are rusted almost on every Sidekick/Tracker/Vitara/Escudo.

I'm looking at one of these tomorrow that have a stripped interior, the guy used it as a hunter rig and it is (relatively) cheap. Thanks for giving me ideas on what to look for!

This is like the best KZfaq video I've seen in weeks on any subject.

I trust this dude he puts off the best vibes fr

i love this dudes energy

just got a 92 tracker for 2500 canadian your website and videos are awesome!!!

Guess what?! Price just went down. Looking at trading my car for a sidekick, great info. Thank you!

You were extremely thorough

I didn't know what to expect in the first two seconds but boy this guy is awesome. V entertaining and informative, thank you!

im doing one that was rolled both mirrors gone windshield busted on pass but she still runs and drives like a dream going to sub to this guy

Street legal side by side. Mine's a 1990. Manuel shift. Manual hubs. Red/black. Very capiable off road (stock). Reliable as hell but easy to fix any issues out there if you need. Gets down those tight trails without all the extra pin striping. Best in town runabout for fuel, parking, ... and climbing the odd curb. Removable top is cool. I always leave my hard shell (rear & driver sections) sections on then cruise with the driver/passenger section either on or off on a whim. This piece slips in behind either set of seats easily. I use my big pickup for the big stuff and use this little guy for all the rest. Always get offers to sell it ... monthly if not weekly at times ... kinda says it all. Great video👍🏻

damn just started looking into buying one this is super useful thank you

Needed a refresher - I was a sub for a couple years. We had 2 of these. Moved to Arkansas a couple years back. Looking to get another one or 2 or 3. Thanks - Excellent as always !!!!

Great video my brothers and I have been talking about starting a geo club this video is going to be very helpful

I don't know much about cars or anything but this is my favorite video ever

I bought a 1990 hardtop. It was awesome.

Man is right, i bought a geo tracker beautifully modified 3inch lift 32x tires, didnt check it properly it was rotten away, i work 3 yrs to weld out on my free time

you forgot the most rust prone section of these vehicles. The rear section where the plastic bumper meets the metal panel and that section of the rear wheel well just slightly back of 90 degrees. That section tends to rust right out and looks just fine from the outside. Same thing with the front bumper where it meets the fender.

I like it when the price goes down

price just went down. Love it.

That laugh at the beginning has me on the floor 😅😅😅

This is definitely one of my favorite car videos I've ever seen on youtube

Can’t wait for the key way video! Been wanting to check mine for a while and will always take your guidance!

Ive got a 2004 chevy tracker 4 door hard top v6. Almost rust free from California.

I watched this and it helped me to get a better deal on the tracker I bought today. Great video!

This guy is sick and he knows what he’s talking about!

just got a new subscriber once the hood popped w/ the miller highski in there. great work, friend!

Dude yes. You are exactly who I trust with this knowledge right here bro. Yes

looking to buy my first samurai and your videos have been an amazing resources! Thank you so much for putting all this info out there, youre amazing! :)

My rockers were gaping open, I filled them with spray foam and actualy put the plastic trim on. Bashed them on some stumps, solid as hell. You also gotta check the rear body mounts in front of the back tire too. 8v valve cover gaskets leak when old. The rear speakers were rotten on both of my trackers.

I might get one for my first car someday hopefully

They like to rust in the firewall and where the bonnet hinges are as well… as well as the front pillars and in the door hinges to the point where the doors will fall off… and in the boot under the bracket that screws over the carpet too … and on the hardtop ones they rust from the inside out where the window washer is just above the back door because washer fluid gets trapping in the top sill and cant get out

My very first car was a purple 95 geo tracker back in 2007. My girlfriend now wife called it a Barbie car, but she still married me so a wins a win lol. Miss that car

"would you look at that" 😁 another Ed Bassmaster fan here.

Very detailed and fun buyers guide video man! Price just went up! up! up! 😄😁😄

Thanks for sharing! If i found a beer can in the engine, will buy!!! But seriously, great video and funny!!

LOL love the video man! Entertaining but also informative. Keep em coming.

Got a 92, had if for 10 years all california miles and the only rust I have is under the driver side tail light😎

First we get the money, then the power, then the respect!

You remind me of my Uncle Mike, anyway I am about to buy

Just bought one of these, price just went up bud. She's mint!

I just bought one....its a rough one,dudes been using it to go hunting..but it has title and solid frame.....hopefully it does me right.

Thanks for the video

you are a god among men for making this video

check under the rubber of the door seal at the top of the windows. Those are notorious for rusting right out

Wish I had this available to me before I bought mine! All the tricks! Thanks again Tony!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. It is very good info with good content this video helped me buy a 95 tropical green tracker 🤟

If you are looking at an 8valve(samurai same deal) check the #4 cylinder compression, they like to burn the exhaust valve! I haven't seen a sidekick or tracker with crank windows that work well! Just take the doors off to fix that! Also if you put the 2" body lift and you wheel it hard, don't be surprised if all 8 body studs rip out(ask me how I know) but you can just weld in plates and then put bolts thru.

4:30 Sets down beer in engine, next to other beer already in engine. Price just went up!

Well I tell ya what, I'm just gonna look right at it! 👌

Thuu it s video makes me really confident with my 1000$ geo it’s 5spd and 4wd and has no rust in any of these places

Thanks, Julian. Say 'Hi' to Ricky and Bubbles for me, will ya? In all seriousness though, that was an extremely informative video. Thanks for taking the time and effort to do all that, my dude.

Proud to be a wisconsinite after watching this lol

There's a really cute 1990 Geo Tracker listed on my local Craigslist. 98,000 miles, $4,200. It doesn't appear to have any rust problems based on the pictures but I wouldn't necessarily be able to tell whether or not they just painted over it or something. I know next to nothing about cars and can't tell if it's in legitimately good condition for a good price. 😩

it's Miller Time inside that engine lol

This video made me laugh every single time he said "Price just went down" 😆

Hey man I know you probably get this a lot and might not have time to respond but it’s worth a shot. I have a MINT 1998 Chevy Tracker 4x4 with only 70,xxx miles it has a big sentimental value to me as it was my fathers last vehicle. I hardly drive it because I want to fully restore it. It’s bone stock and no rust runs amazing with the exception of one thing. P0740. It’s the 3 speed automatic 3L30. Mechanics where I live are not very trustworthy unfortunately. I’m tired of just throwing parts at it. I NEED TO FIX THIS! please let me know if you could be of any assistance or if you have time. Love your videos man I would absolutely love to meet you some day! Keep TRACKIN! MIL @ 47 mph Edit: got any manual trannys for sale? 🤔 Also.. are you hiring?

Million thanks Tony this video it’s super helpful, but can anyone tell me if it’s legal to drive this vehicle in the state of Florida?

thats the wrong emblem on the door!! I should know, i've had 47 of them

Just look at it!

Being in Colorado with all the road salt in the winter you really see cars age after awhile.

Dam this thing is clean 😎

Found a rust hole in the cross member tube located in the center of where the rear bumper mounts. Only saw it when i removed the gas tank.

I sheet metal screwed the tin 'floor pan' in mine and the fuel tank is held up with cam straps over the frame as the front mounts are gone. You did forget to mention the fuel filler tube, where the body fastens to it. The rear wheel throws crap up and it just sits there.

Great vid. You're a top presenter too! Hi from Oz.

This dude is awesome

The worst rust spots I have found on the vitaras is under front guards at bottom of windows and stuff

Say hello to My little friend!!! Nice shirt

Because rust you can also lost your rear axel on the highway ha ha.The over the axel link fixed on the frame most time a very "rusty" frame.This Video was brought to you by Miller ha ha.

This video is awesome

Switch that beer for a whiskey and it’s Julian from trailer park boys 🤙

I’m getting ready to buy my moms old tracker, I’m probably going to pick your brain a lot lol hope you don’t mind

Meeeettttaaalllll soft top trim!!!

Reminds me of Billy Walsh from entourage

Great video thanks

Omg!! Your hilarious ! I just found a tracker near me. Shit .. It is probably junk. Is the car your reviewing for sale? Thanks Man, your video probably saved me some cold hard cash

Oh man im looking at a geo tracker! Guy wants 1500 for it. Red soft top stick shift. Outside looked great but haven't done a full inspection. Are the engines reliable? Doubt it has rust being down here in texas but will test the sideskirts and see if rust falls lol. Thanks for your tips.

Was hoping for more hidden High Lifes. :P New to this group. Where's a good place to start on vids and lit?

Legendary

I turned one of these into a tractor but had to swap a Wisconsin engine into it because the suzuki engine had enough blowby to make a wind mill grind your kernels...

had a 1992 suzuki sidekick 4 door. no major issue until over 200,000 miles. Did have a known wire issue with it and a crack in the radiator. The engine at that point around 236,000 just keep blowing head gaskets and was worn out. sigh.

Great video.....looking at a 95

first place I look is at body mounts in front of rear wheels and then the body mounts behind front wheels. Those rot easy like their rockers and rear seatbelt bolt. Not as easy to fix though.

Thanks !

Most of the trim bumpers and wheel well liners trap mud snow and gravel. Best remove it all.

You for got about the transmission and noise wore out bearings they need to check for that

And dont drive too far that you feel like you have to buy it even if the seller isnt real honest....my "clean" tracker turned out to be in need of floors and rear fenderwell replacement but i already drove 7 hours🤦‍♂️ my mistake

Ask me about the "check engine" light that never goes off. I own a 93.

Is this a common where your chaps are? We don't have a lot a guys like this around. I have a Vitara (they didn't sell soft tops over here). Get it cheap because it'll cost 5-10G NZD to keep it road legal. Yet still for the best bang for buck truck

These vehicles are part time 4wd. Do NOT put the transfer case into 4wd, lock the hubs, and then drive on a dry surface., whether on your ‘test drive’ or if you own it. You MUST be on a surface where one of the wheels can slip

This guy is great. High Life is the shit too lol
