These sure are fun little beebop jalops for cruising around in the desert, I love mine and really enjoy driving it out in no mans land. Thanks for the ideas

[@tufftrails]

Agreed, Getting out of town and exploring the desert, is the perfect mental reset for me. Thank you for your comment

[@tinab6032]

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.

[@tufftrails]

Hope it helps or gives you some ideas... Thank you for your comment.

[@falafel1755]

affordable.. so you own 6 trackers ... XD thanks for your sharing ! You made these trackers perfect! Respect from Taiwan!

[@tufftrails]

Yes 6, 0ne of each model except for the Sport Model with the 1.8 liter engine...but I will find it. Thank you for your comment....

[@dunstanlataille4937]

[@tufftrails]

Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a kind comment...

Love it sweet

[@tufftrails]

and again.I appreciate it. Thank you

[@outdoorseyfun9842]

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

[@tufftrails]

They are alot of fun, economical, affordable and easy to work on for the at home do-it-yourselfer, we have a lot of idea on our channel for you to see what modifications or upgrades appeal to 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

[@fetchingphotos]

Thanks for making this so straightforward and to the point! Great video!

[@tufftrails]

I think I just got lucky on this one....but thank you for pointing it out.

[@vwmountainman9701]

Excellent video - Builds are very well explained & nice work by the way !!!

[@wildwestexplorations8097]

Love that steel bumper you made for the rear with the receiver

[@tufftrails]

I wish I could take credit, but I got that one off of the old jeep n my back yard...lol.

[@danieljenks1693]

My neighbor and I both have a Geo Tracker.. both stock 4x4, 5 speeds.. they will go almost anywhere!!!

[@tufftrails]

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...

[@GingerRob]

Recently bought a Suzuki x90, cheap budget off roader. The information is really helpful. Thanks from the UK 👌

[@tufftrails]

Thank you for your comment. This guy has 3 or more X90's and a popular channel. www.youtube.com/@trashpandaoffroad3548

[@simonpollock2151]

You earned yourself a new sub! Got my 1990 tracker this summer, looking to do a lot of work this upcoming summer on it! This video was sure helpful! Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

[@tufftrails]

That's great! I hope that we have inspired you a little and shared a few ideas to get you a little more motivated. Thank you for the sub and here is a link to our little online Geo Tracker Store if you need anything. www.tuff-trails.com

[@santiagoarjona-gomez379]

@@tufftrailshello, would you be able to post a new link? This one’s won’t take me to your store

[@tufftrails]

Sorry Dude, our storefront is currently getting updated based upon the new requirements of some of our suppliers. Going to take a couple more days before the site is back up. If you know a specific item that you want to see, let me know and I should be able to send you a product link. @@santiagoarjona-gomez379

[@tufftrails]

The store is back online... www.tuff-trails.com sorry for the delay but we had t redo a ton of code.

[@wildwestexplorations8097]

Got some good ideas for my build now. Can’t wait to see what you do with the yellow one and the Jeep axles

[@tufftrails]

Saving that one for last, Going to do the blue one next if I can get it running. It will be a Street Car, kinda low.

[@JohnDrivesAnything]

Congrats on hitting 1000 Subscribers! Hope YT pays you soon. You should do separate in depth videos just on lift kits. Those are the videos that make my stand out over other van channels.

[@tufftrails]

Thanks John. Needed to get that monkey off my back.

[@tufftrails]

Oh. I forgot to mention that I created an Amazon store for only geo trackers and Suzuki Sidekicks. www.tuff-trails.com

[@vangelismilonakis1035]

So helpful

[@tufftrails]

Excellent... thank you

[@Chimmers69]

Nice looking rigs! Im in Tucson driving a white Samurai. I'll keep a look out for you on the trails. Liked and subscribed!

[@tufftrails]

Cool. Samurai’s are perfect off road machines

[@josep211080]

hello there, new sub here, hope you can share how do you attached the roof rak on the tin top and the 4 door, thanks and great content.

[@tufftrails]

This is the video for the 4dr. roof rack install kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5W6dJWPgdGAbs0 and this is the video for the 2dr roof rack install, kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHLOdpeIeq97g5I thank you for the sub and your question.

[@Hutchgarage]

I really think affordable went out the door with them.. went from picking them up for $500 and now multiple thousands.

[@tufftrails]

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

[@dunstanlataille4937]

I just buy one of those jeep

[@tufftrails]

They are a lot of fun...

[@BustedKneeAdventures]

Hello Cal, at 6:25 in the video you mention longer struts. Do you have any more info on this? Thanks.

[@tufftrails]

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.

[@BustedKneeAdventures]

@@tufftrails any issues with the cv's due to the extra travel?

[@tufftrails]

So far no, but please remember, I am not some adrenalin amped Rock Crawler show boating on the trails. All of our Trackers and Sidekicks are "Tools", they have a function and a purpose and our upgrades and modifications simply result in a better tool.@@BustedKneeAdventures

[@BustedKneeAdventures]

@@tufftrails I should have not even asked because I have seen what you're doing on the trails. I'm going to try and do the 2 inch puck lift with the strut mod.

[@juststeve7665]

"OK?"

[@tufftrails]

...not sure how to reply the that, seems full of uncertainty surrounded by apprehension...rolled up into a really tight ball and just set on the shelf for now.....It's Friday so I'll take it. Thank you for your comment.

[@Jaychutae]

In 2:30mins in the video, Is the rim wide 5.5x15?

[@tufftrails]

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.

[@offroad6309]

Yes they use a 5x5.5 bolt pattern. Same as jeep, ford and dodge used to use. The rim diameter can be 15" or 16"
