Suzuki's are the most reliable cars on the market. We have a kizashi with just over 100k on the odo. Never had a single problem ever no electrical or mechanical faults.

It's refreshing to see a new, and different, body shell. Love the Suzuki.

This is just like a Suzuki Sidekick that I had in the 90s thank you for this it brings back a ton of memories... And as always awesome video Matt!!!

[@scalebuildersguild]

It's pretty cute, right? Thanks for watching!

[@tonyg315]

I'm digging it. Friend had a tracker back in the day and we use to beat on that thing. Brings back good memories

[@BandAid350z]

Neat little rig and I love the period correct graphics. It’s nice to see something other than Jeep bodies and a shorter wheelbase chassis just makes it even more endearing. I wonder when we see some SWB builds using this platform.

[@GCMRacing1]

Oh, that's a super cute thing right there. If you build one, I'll drive it!

[@robertsuber7596]

I absolutely love the paint job. 🎨 killing it.

[@theclan4adventures]

It’s a Suzuki sidekick. I got 2.5 minutes into the video and that’s it. No samurai and no geo tracker lol At least they put the snorkel on the right side of the engine compartment and decided not to put scale ifs on it so that’s good looks like a nice kit. I like what you did with yours.

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

You are so good with your reviews. And your trail filming skills are next level! Stay Gold Pony Boy.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you!

[@1slwmoforc]

I am really considering getting one of this for myself. I own a 98 2dr convertible Suzuki Sidekick and this one has a great looking and scale accurate version of the hard top body. And yes, it's a SIDEKICK, not a Samurai!!!!!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks for watching!

[@phildavis4878]

Absolutely love the way they going now including the small trucks as well as the big I definitely looks like a Geo now for the big question where do I find one how do I get it if you can pass along that information I would be very grateful have lots of fun with it my friend

[@JusRc]

Not sure if any one has said it, but Pontiac did a version of it called the Sunrunner

[@PhilBender612]

Suzuki sidekick or a Chev tracker. Most people refer to them as a kicker. A combination of the two names. The Samurai was solid axle while the sidekick/Tracker was IFS.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks for the info!

Also Pontiac Sunrunner

Based on the running part of the video, it seems like a very capable and solid running trail truck. And love that retro 90's vibe for the finish (like a family members vehicle they purchased brand new).

[@hadynmcloughlin4661]

Love the look and great details and decals. Keen to get this one being into Japanese drift and keep it all in the family. Complicated build doesn't some like best for beginner. Found a MST drift on the harder to build.

Remember watching you build this truck. Looks like your trail rides pretty damn good. What a neat little rig

nice to see the truck done and on the trail, another awesome looking truck. I need to finish mine, just have to add the electronics, but mine is getting the Tamiya Scorcher body to go for the off-road bug style.

[@gemsynrc9605]

At least all the scoldings you took for calling it by the wrong name are balanced out by all the "love the graphics" comments. Nice save. This kit is going on my list.

I believe he answered the question with... ... "I think I'm gonna send it to Alex..." !!! 😆👍 Josh says it is mainly the "GEOmetry" ...but I don't buy it, as in (there is more to it), than he is sayin', ...he just doesn't want to say, due to "liability"/hurtin' someone's feelings, etc. 👌- I get it !! Plus, Josh is just a "full-size truck-guy !! Anyway, I think it has more potential... - question is, - is "just how much" !!??? 🤔.....✌️Matt

That is a good looking little rig. As far as I remember the Suzuki samurai eat samurai was much more square square but maybe they made more models of it than I was aware before they changed it to the tracker

Fun review and the paint design is spot on, a genuine Canadian touch of the classic Hemistorm. Wondering if I can edit my entry to the sticker comp with something you mentioned here, being: 'plucky'. Perhaps in the GB license plate design, like the one that is on, what we call, the Vitara. Naturally, all for your consideration. As always, a much enjoyed SBG presentation, so cheers 💯
