    Whoops I have to apologize to rock auto, turns out even though the advertisement and the previous owner said this was a 1990 Tracker, the title says 1991, so I was ordering parts for the wrong year this whole time. Oops.

    You are correct, anyone can learn to replace the whole brake system. I put a few thousand miles on my first restoration. I will admit I had no luck with that style of flaring tool and bought one that cost three times as much; looks like a small hammer. Worked great.

    My sister owned a teal green Samurai with a pink dealer installed stripe graphic running on the lower side. It was the only one like it and very 80s. It was great but those things had shortcomings. They were too rough around the edges as far as engine, transmission and definitely ride. I don't know for a fact how easily they could be flipped (it is debated the media was biased on that), but it was very short wheel based and high center of gravity, a vehicle you didn't want to push.
    The Tracker was an answer to those shortcomings, but obviously took a little from the character of the original.
    But because I've had such experience with the Samurai, when I see the Tracker I see "balance" (no pun intended).

    GEO is one of those brands where some models were crap, and others were gold, like the Metro, which is literally a Toyota, only way less expensive because of the badge. Maybe you paid too much, I don't know, but tell us where else you can find a 4x4 and customize it for under $4k ? Yes, the 4Runner is awesome, but it gets 12 MPG, as the Tracker probably does way better. EDIT : I love it !!! You captured the 90's perfectly, the BEST decade in my opinion. I turned 20 in 1989, so the 90's was a ten year long party.

    Hypothetically speaking, how much would you charge someone to do something similar to another tracker/sidekick? New brake system, paint job, small tune-up.
    I have one that needs these sort of things, but I know nothing about working on vehicles. Looking for some sort of direction on them.
    Also, highly entertaining and well-edited video! And great job on the restoration!

    • @Motiv8Labs
      @Motiv8Labs  8 дней назад

      That’s a tough one! There is a paint and body shop out here somewhere that does a job like this for about $600-$800 they say. For the brakes and small tuneup items I think it might be a days worth of work for an actual professional shop that does it every day. So maybe 8 hours times whatever shops charge now days. Maybe $50-$75 an hour but I’m not sure since we always do our own work on things.

Replace motor with a turbo VW diesel, put the gears from an automatic in, and you get it all.. MPGs, and 4x4 ability that rivals some higher built rigs. To bad parts are getting harder to find..

    How many old license plates do you have to cover the holes in the floor? In 1993 we had a Motorola Micro-tac cell phone. It was shaped like a sanding block

      That's the first cellphone my old man got for the family to try out. Just one to take with us when traveling. I can still remember what the tones sounded like dialing on that old thing to try and call a buddy. I remember them saying we could only talk for a couple minutes. Who knows how much it cost per minute back then.

    Creator question. Who are you using for your music rights management? I’d love to have access to these songs but my current service doesn’t offer it. I’m using artlist. Really appreciate the video! I recently “restored” a first gen Xterra so I understand the parts struggle :).

    • @Motiv8Labs
      @Motiv8Labs  3 месяца назад

      For music it's this website Lickd. They were the only ones I found licensing popular songs. They only have certain artists and most of the time only have their non-hit songs. Also waiting for the claims against your video to clear before you publish can take like 2 days sometimes, you have to upload as unlisted and then submit a request to Lickd to clear the claim. They have an automated claim clearing system for some songs but most I have to send in the request for. It's kinda a whippin. I wouldn't necessarily recommend them, but they seem to be the only game in town.

    I do like the paint colour and the repairs l am just wondering if there is a good spare parts shop near were you live because l never order any part online in the area l live in Sydney Australia there is a very good spare parts shop and l have a 1997 Toyota Hilux and l have spent a lot of money at this spare parts and every part l have got as been the correct part and l do like your Suzuki Seira (Geo Tracker) and it is interesting that your Suzuki Sierra was made in Japan probably on the same production line as the Suzuki Seria but the only difference is the badges and the placement of the steering wheel pedals and dashboard
