SNORKEL KIT: ebay.us/MZ1jUB
In today's video I will show you how to install a snorkel kit on my Chevrolet Tracker (Suzuki Grand Vitara). The kit comes from Australia and is made specifically for the 2nd gen trackers and Vitaras. It is molded to follow the body lines and ride perfectly up the A-pillar. I show you how to align the template, punch and drill the mounting holes, and rivet the upper bracket in place.
Take a look at my other videos for more Tracker content, as well as other Barely Built Right projects.

Just a couple of suggestions. Any hole you drill through your paint use a cheap artist type paint brush, spray a little quality paint in the cap apply with brush. Apply some butyl type sealer over holes and around high areas and sides, you can leave a small drain area down in the lowest spot as a possible drain. Add some waterproof material at all connections at final install. Something over the inlet (they have products for this) to stop driving rain or snow or reverse the direction of inlet. Remember you are trying to stop water from getting into the inlet.

[@BarelyBuiltRight]

For sure. If you notice, I actually have a "cold" air intake on the truck which bypasses all of the factory air box connections. As of right now the snorkel is purely decorative, otherwise I would have gone a little more in depth with what you suggested here. Thanks!

[@campbemj180]

Now I just have to prevent myself from buying it until I can afford new tires first. Nice!

[@BarelyBuiltRight]

Haha I know how those decisions go! if it affects when you buy it at all...dont forget it might take up to a month to arrive.

[@barbarianleatherandblades8686]

BTW 's H.F. sells a snap punch for a couple bucks. Works pretty good for cheap.

[@bencarreon1980]

Been waiting for this one 🤘👏

[@BarelyBuiltRight]

Hell yeah, thanks for sticking around!

[@treborgallant949]

I’ve subscribed to you 4 times in 3 months. Idk why YT be so trifling

[@BarelyBuiltRight]

Weird! I appreciate you keep coming back!

[@djmjr77]

Nice, I think your bolt holes were right on, looks like the studs are at an angle which would make them not fit from the outside, but you handled it!! Sooo .. any news on the jet boat?? 😜

[@BarelyBuiltRight]

Thanks! And right now, trying to source a rear inboard engine cover I can modify to use in my boat

[@djmjr77]

@@BarelyBuiltRight i forget where you are but there is Don's Marine Surplus & Salvage in Clearwater, FL.. basically a boat junk yard, where you could probably find something.. or just use some plywood and cover in fiberglass..

[@BarelyBuiltRight]

@@djmjr77 I'll have to check that out! Thanks for the heads up

[@webb3800]

Have U ever made another video on how to seal up the ecu box ? Idd like to know thank you

[@BarelyBuiltRight]

I have not but that is a good idea, thanks!

[@stuartpilling6190]

Did the snorkel increase or decrease the fuel economy? The reason I ask is because the junction between the snorkel and the flexible pipe(it has a big rubber grommet thing)is smaller than the inlet of the snorkel and where the flexible pipe enters the airbox.

[@BarelyBuiltRight]

Tbh, I've never tracked my mileage with this vehicle, so I couldn't tell you in one way or another. Sorry!

[@Bad-decisions-and-good-times]

think with cutting the tires would work without the spacers. i beat on my tracker dont think they would hold up

[@BarelyBuiltRight]

The spacers typically increase interference, so require more cutting. I put the spacers on the push the wheels out to the flares

[@JtThomas-p4q]

Do you have a new link for the snorkel? I clicked it and it’s no longer valid. I looked on eBay but I’d like to make sure I get the same one so I have the template. Awesome job btw

[@Rick_Sanchez_C137_]

Lol, Obi Wan guiding you in your mission was on point…. it feels that way working on our vehicles sometimes…. All in all it looked like an easy mod, how long did it take you to do and did it feel like you did anything wrong that made it take longer or was there a shortcut you took not in the instructions that you knew to do that sped up the process?

[@BarelyBuiltRight]

Haha glad you liked the joke. I tried to do it step by step and go for accuracy over time. Still did it in ~90 min. A punch is important to keep things centered and not be walking the bit all over.

[@chino123224]

Where did you get those fender flares from ????

[@BarelyBuiltRight]

They are universal flares from Amazon! Check my other vid for install guide and purchase link in description!

[@Zfrostyone]

Now to find the water hole after you seal everything.

[@BarelyBuiltRight]

I know a few around ;)

[@ethangray6883]

How did you seal your raised air intake? Silocone?..

[@BarelyBuiltRight]

Ill let you in on a little secret...i have an aftermarket intake so I never actually plumbed it in. Its just for looks right now until I figure a way to route it

[@barbarianleatherandblades8686]

That Bully Bar looks Bairly Bolted On 😄

[@BarelyBuiltRight]

Haha haven't needed to pull anything with the curved bit yet ;) or maybe I lost the bolts

[@zaplov1479]

What is all the mods you have done, I have myself a tracker and what to start modding it

[@BarelyBuiltRight]

I've done quite a bit on it! Feel free to take a look at my other videos for more ideas. -custom paint -2" lift -31" tires -2" spacers -jeep front bumper -fender flares -light bar -LED jeep headlights -snorkel -some other bits

[@adolforamirez1215]

I need soft top trim parts for a 2003 Chevy Tracker. Do you know if a Geo Tracker would fit good?

[@BarelyBuiltRight]

"Chevy tracker" would be the "geo tracker" for that year. Anything branded "geo" would be first gen, which wouldn't fit.

[@NAVYVETBASSKING]

Badass man....

[@BarelyBuiltRight]

Thanks matt!

[@NAVYVETBASSKING]

@@BarelyBuiltRight No problem at all man.

So uh why does it suck again???

[@BarelyBuiltRight]

Sucks in air 😉
