E14- Geo Tracker / Suzuki Sidekick Simple Rear Bumper Fab and Mile Marker 3500# Winch Test

[@robkittle1899]

Loving the Tracker build! Good to know I am not the only crazy person building one of the old dinosaurs!

[@DeathTollRacing]

Lol. Nope, you’re not alone!

[@gypsonny2]

Ayyy Tracker gang!!

Nice and simple rear bumper 👍 I just subscribed to your channel. I’m also out in Washington, good to see another channel making some Suzuki Sidekick videos 🙂

[@robertjohnson7728]

It just gets better as it goes along.

[@DeathTollRacing]

Thanks!!

[@TheJosesantiago123]

Looks Perfect, great idea on the tide down rubber pice thing.

[@DeathTollRacing]

Thank you!!!

[@justme-n-gracie]

looks great! Also looks like it would make a nice air tank.

[@DeathTollRacing]

Dang good idea!

[@blindstudios1082]

Nice set up. Unfortunately I don’t have any skills or tools to weld. Any idea on what aftermarket front/back bumpers work instead? I got a 1991 sidekick

[@DeathTollRacing]

I saw a guy on KZbin who put a wrangler bumper on one without any welding. I didn’t look too bad. I posted it below. I believe there are a few available specific for it too, but they are pricey kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5TEaYqbpJmLbcU

[@tyleraske2241]

Love it simple design , so you don’t do any type off bumper bracket for the rear. You just welded it to the frame at those three points? Thank you!

[@DeathTollRacing]

Thanks! I didn’t do brackets, but you can. I was going to, but I was sick when I did it and got lazy. Shouldn’t be an issue though, there’s nothing obstructed by it, so no reason to ever have to take it off.

[@richardhammond9032]

I like how easy it is to make and how good it look. Great video.

[@DeathTollRacing]

Thanks!!

[@dandahermitseals5582]

Those D rings are just cargo tie downs?? What would you do with them?? Especially on the front. The front one looks great but needs real shackles and grill gaurd.

[@DeathTollRacing]

They are stronger than the tracker. I believe they are rated at 3k. I actually don’t need a grill guard , but you can put one on yours if you’d like.

[@stephenhawtree4336]

Nice build! I see you started to look at adding a 2" receiver, but decided not to. Any plans to add one in the future? When I build a back bumper, I'm going to have to figure out how to make one work. Mine's an '89 Sidekick.

[@DeathTollRacing]

Thanks! I may put one on still. I didn’t want it sticking out, and with the gas tank there I would have too. But in reality, it wouldn’t hurt anything if it was sticking out a bit.

[@MikeJones-lm5zj]

What did you make the rear skid plate from?

[@DeathTollRacing]

It was a front plate I modified from another car. I think an aftermarket one for a Jeep renegade.

[@SB-fk4kp]

What type and size square tubing did you use for that? It looks great!

[@DeathTollRacing]

4x2x1/8 wall. It's about perfect for strength vs weight for the trackers.

[@SB-fk4kp]

@@DeathTollRacing thanks man, that’s what I thought but wasn’t positive… Keep up the good work!

[@gordmoleschi4083]

What size tube was it 4x2 or 3x2.

[@DeathTollRacing]

I used 4x2 1/8 wall.

[@gordmoleschi4083]

Thanks

[@chrisf7676]

These videos are outstanding! I've got a 98 Chevy Tracker that has been incredible but these videos are inspiring me to give it some love. Any ideas on where to get a spare tire relocation bracket? My current spare doesn't fit on the stock carrier. If I can buy one affordably that would be easier than fabricating one. Thanks again for these videos!

[@DeathTollRacing]

Thanks! I don’t know of a bolt on one, but what about this one.... www.amazon.com/dp/B00SGX8KSM/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_glt_fabc_F3381TWD95BVWK339YRE?linkCode=ml2&tag=deathtollraci-20 It’s for a jeep jk but it looks like you may be able to make it work.

[@ChasingOverland]

Where did you get the snorkel from I’ve been looking for that filter top and can’t find that kit anywhere! Love the build!

[@DeathTollRacing]

There’s a link for it in the description of the install video. I think it was 2 videos one for the snorkel and one for the prefilter.

[@DeathTollRacing]

Snorkel Pre-Filter Must Have on our Budget Build Geo Tracker PreFilter upgrade. Sy-Klone or CAT?

@@DeathTollRacing yes it is an auto. 94 U model. Also have a parts 94 manual wish I knew if tranny was good, I need to get all the good parts off still b4 it goes to scrap soon.

[@Kyle-ev4fk]

Not as nice as the front, but not as much time spent either I imagine. Good tip on the rubber in the D-ring.

[@DeathTollRacing]

Very simple bumper. I tried to keep it so anyone can do it. Plus I had Covid when I built it, so I was less than ambitious.

[@rwshopman]

What gauge of metal did youbuse?

[@DeathTollRacing]

Those were 4x2x0.120. (1/8th)

[@khalidqasim2001]

How much it will cost for front and rear bumper

[@DeathTollRacing]

This video is showing how you can make your own, so the cost will be relative to the cost of steel in your area.

[@khalidqasim2001]

Thanks!

[@FatDad_LittleBoy]

I slammed into a boulder the size of a coffee table, in reverse (doing about 20mph... dumb/young) and that little brace in the rear saved my ass from ruining my gas tank or worse . I have a trailer hitch on mine now, don't tow much but it's there for a reason...

[@DeathTollRacing]

For sure. They serve a purpose even if they seem useless.
