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

"People ride around with no top on, let that carpet get soaking wet and sit there for a month or 2"
I feel attacked!! 🤣😅
nobody likes a damp rug 🤷🤣
Bahaha love it .... mine is sitting in yard wet right now.....
Shots fired.
Take care of your shit!😂
Mine has been sitting in a field for 7 years with no windows and it's fine.
First things I look for 1. 4x4 2. manual trans
That’s what I have. Manual 4X4 Tin roof. Love it.
I like the autos on these
I have no idea why I’m so intrigued by geo trackers, but I really want one 😂
It's a vehicle you have to drive to truly appreciate. Then you buy multiple of them!
Everything he mentioned my tracker had lol I just welded the whole fucking thing back together
🤣🤣🤣
Basado and weldpilled
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.
Can’t wait for the key way video! Been wanting to check mine for a while and will always take your guidance!
Video coming soon!
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!
Goodluck on your purchase!
i love this dudes energy
I didn't know what to expect in the first two seconds but boy this guy is awesome. V entertaining and informative, thank you!
HaHa! Glad you enjoyed - Thanks for watching!
damn just started looking into buying one this is super useful thank you

This is like the best RUclips video I've seen in weeks on any subject.
Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching!
Dude yes. You are exactly who I trust with this knowledge right here bro. Yes
LOL love the video man! Entertaining but also informative. Keep em coming.
Glad you're enjoying the videos 😁👍🏼
Needed a refresher -

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

If i found a beer can in the engine, will buy!!!
But seriously, great video and funny!!
You were extremely thorough
Very detailed and fun buyers guide video man!
Price just went up! up! up! 😄😁😄
Glad you enjoyed the video!!!
I bought a 1990 hardtop. It was awesome.
Great video my brothers and I have been talking about starting a geo club this video is going to be very helpful
Awesome! Thanks for watching 🍻
I don't know much about cars or anything but this is my favorite video ever
😁🤣👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🍻
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.
Thanks for the video
I trust this dude he puts off the best vibes fr
just got a 92 tracker for 2500 canadian your website and videos are awesome!!!
Congrats on the Tracker!
This guy is sick and he knows what he’s talking about!
Hell yeah! 🤘
This is definitely one of my favorite car videos I've ever seen on youtube
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👍🏻
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. It is very good info with good content this video helped me buy a 95 tropical green tracker 🤟
Great to hear the video was helpful!
Great video thanks
I might get one for my first car someday hopefully
price just went down. Love it.
Great vid. You're a top presenter too! Hi from Oz.
This video is awesome
Just bought one of these, price just went up bud. She's mint!
Guess what?! Price just went down. Looking at trading my car for a sidekick, great info. Thank you!
Wish I had this available to me before I bought mine! All the tricks! Thanks again Tony!
Happy to help!
Well I tell ya what, I'm just gonna look right at it! 👌
This dude is awesome
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.
Dam this thing is clean 😎
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 NEED A 1996 06 BACK DOOR
check under the rubber of the door seal at the top of the windows. Those are notorious for rusting right out
I love it!
"would you look at that" 😁 another Ed Bassmaster fan here.
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.
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?
I watched this and it helped me to get a better deal on the tracker I bought today. Great video!
Ahhhyeahh! Congrats on the new Tracker!
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.
I like it when the price goes down
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.
At 4:24, what are those seven square holes in the plastic panel between wiper fluid hose and wipers for, except to let mice into the heater fan and ducts?
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.
Thanks for the video. I'm in the market for a 2dr tracker to play with in the woods and be a backup commuter car. Any advice on choosing a 5 spd manual or the 3spd auto transmission? One concern is I want to be able to drive 75mph with a bigger tire, maybe 30" or 31". Is this possible with either transmission? I dont know if the auto is going to be a dog. The manuals seem to be harder to find here.
Also, my family is from wisconsin, they brush their teeth with Miller High Life lmao!
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
Thanks !
Thanks for watching!
What are some valve issues that cause white smoke? I have white smoke. Im buying a ton of parts just to tune my new-to-me sidekick and freshen up some things. But i have a little white smoke.
Ive got a 2004 chevy tracker 4 door hard top v6. Almost rust free from California.
merci encore Tonny
First we get the money, then the power, then the respect!
Good info! Anything else to look out for on 4 door models or the 4 speed auto transmissions?
The 4 door models have basically the same things to look for. They usually hold up a little better on floor board rust because there is no soft top to leak and also no soft top trim pieces to worry about. For auto trans you will want to check fluid when car is warm, trans in neutral . Look for oil level and color and smell. Nice red color with no burning smell is what you are looking for.
Ask me about the "check engine" light that never goes off. I own a 93.
Legendary
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
how much do you think black spray paint over the original teal decals and the tracker logo would mark off the price? Im looking into buying a geo tracker.
Hey so I just got one of these and after some highway miles its got a clicking sound on decel like a card in a bicycle spoke.. I have some ideas but wondering what u think. It's speed not rpm.
Say hello to
My little friend!!! Nice shirt
Is this the same engine as in the following model my vitara had a carburetor then the grand vitara 1.6 GV was fuel injection but engine is very similar if so front cam seals are prone to oil leak
Does the crank pulley wobble always mean a bad keyway? I just picked up a 1994 for basically free and the harmonic balancer looks completely rotted out and rusted. It is a one-owner car and he has never had the center bolt off. It has a slight wobble at idle but I really don't want to take that center bolt off unless I absolutely have to to check for the keyway. It runs absolutely amazing and has almost 300K original miles on it LOL
This video made me laugh every single time he said "Price just went down" 😆
🤣 price just went ⬇️⬇️⬇️
You remind me of my Uncle Mike, anyway I am about to buy
Got a 92, had if for 10 years all california miles and the only rust I have is under the driver side tail light😎
BadAss! Keep her clean 😁
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.
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.
You for got about the transmission and noise wore out bearings they need to check for that
The worst rust spots I have found on the vitaras is under front guards at bottom of windows and stuff
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
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
Great purchase as that price!
Being in Colorado with all the road salt in the winter you really see cars age after awhile.
Was hoping for more hidden High Lifes. :P
New to this group. Where's a good place to start on vids and lit?
you are a god among men for making this video
Happy to help out!
So, Hoss, I sometimes spill my Miller can in the rig. Will that rot out the floor pan? If so, should I start looking for a donor stop sign for patch material?
High Life contains a natural anti corrosion property. The more you spill, the thicker the metal will get! 😀🍻👍
aahh will you look at that, lol. Great vid, thumbs up
Just look at it! 😂
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
I will buy it if it comes with you!
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.
Enjoy the new Tracker 👍🍻
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
Having trouble looking for a transmission pan online for my 90 geo tracker can anyone point me to the right place?
Just look at it!
This was a fantastic video. Lol.
Glad you enjoyed it 😁
