Thanks for the ideas and great camera work on the suspensions showing the actual parts involved. The paint jobs look great as well and being able to enjoy the vehicle instead of, like you said, paying close to 100k and worrying about scratching it.

Hello, there. I have a 1994 Suzuki sidekick. 4 wheel drive and its stock. I've always wanted to get a little lift on it. But I've never done anything to it. This is very informative thank you

Here is a budget lift that will get you @ 2" of lift without breaking the bank, and it is an easy lift to do. amzn.to/3xnpm4i and here is a link for the camber bolts. amzn.to/4cOkDsw Thank you for your comments and good luck with your Sidekick

I am actually an accidental fan, was always a Jeep Guy. Bought one for my daughter some years ago and was so impressed with how perfect they were for what I do, and how affordable they were...I now have 6 of them. One of each model except for the "Sport" with the 1.8 liter engine....but I got my eye on one. Thank you for your comment and never sell your Tracker...

Hello Cal, at 6:25 in the video you mention longer struts. Do you have any more info on this? Thanks.
@tufftrails
@tufftrails 5 ай бұрын
Yes, a bit complicated but I will do my best. some 10 to 12 years ago many Tracker guys were looking for cost effective solutions for suspension modifications. I am sure that you have heard of the 2" budget lift. They discovered that some GM Vehicles had Struts that might work... In my case, I used the Grand Prix Rear Struts on one of our front ends. There is some complicated modifications that need to be done to the Strut ears so that they will accommodate for alignment issues. This is the link that will give you all the info you need; www.zukioffroad.com/tech/longer-struts-for-your-geo-tracker-suzuki-sidekick/ Hope this helps Thank you for your question.

You are so right, I've had mine for 10 -12 years now, with the most expensive costing $1800.00. I think what persuaded me to do this series is the current cost of a new Jeep, or a new Bronco, or Toyota Landcruiser, Range Rover or even a damn Silverado pickup costing $100K . It changes the game, If I paid a $100K for a Bronco, I would never take it off-road for fear of scratching it...or dinging it somewhere... I don't think the value is there anymore with the newer stuff. So let's squeeze a little more life out of our budget rigs and still have some fun. Thank You for your comment

In 2:30mins in the video, Is the rim wide 5.5x15?
@tufftrails
@tufftrails 6 ай бұрын
The wheels are original Geo Tracker wheels from an 1989 Geo Tracker. so the wheel is probably 15" in diameter x6" wide.(15X6) The tires in this shot are 31x10.50x15 also this application has a 2" wheel spacer to bring the wheels and tire out more. I hope I answered your question.
