Be kind and respectful below. I will no longer tolerate ANY hate or harassment on my channel. ZERO TOLERANCE. If you can't be an adult, you get reported and banned for life. No warnings or exceptions. Thanks, and love to all!
I don’t know why people want to hate so much with everything else going on the world. Have a good day Eric I enjoy your channel. I don’t even rv I live in Colombia. I’m a retired marine and travel a lot and you have shown me places I want to visit when I come home.
I would keep the cb antenna it's retro and you might need it. Sad that we can't get keys made anymore . Glad that you are home and not in those storms... Great video
Just a suggestion. I would not describe your tracker as a "rig," and the engine size has limitations. Enjoy it for what it is. A Jeep wanna a be...JK have fun.
A suggestion, stop telling people how to call their own rigs. Not everyone needs to compensate for something with an oversized engine. Wars have been fought with the jeep willy and it had half the power
@@sorinvarzaru7430 you are correct wars are often started over foolishness, like offering a suggestion or opinion. Sorry this triggered you. Have a great day.
Seriously? You’re still gonna argue with me and try to correct me??? GO GOOGLE a Geo Tracker. Here, I’ll copy/paste it for you word for word in case you don’t have 5 seconds to fact check even though you have time to say I’m wrong: “Geo Tracker is a Chevrolet and Geo by CAMI Automotive in Ingersoll, Ontario. Although appearing as a compact SUV, the Tracker was certified as a light truck due to its off-road capabilities and body-on-frame construction.”
Look up in your storage unit….. looks like open roof framing….. aka someone came in from another unit looking for smaller things they could fit back up. 23 years in law enforcement and I have seen that dozens of times. It confuses people because the lock looks fine but they didn’t come in from the door. Just a thought to keep an eye on.
Big time. Any time you rent a storage unit, look up. Someone can rent one and have access to 100s of units… easy pickings for a criminal and know among them.
my hubby and i are falling in love with your little car there. its so cute and fun looking! and you just answered your own question about getting copies to your keys.. have that locksmith make it for you. and we love that you are doing stuff around your home there, its as fun as if you are out and about. keep doing what makes YOU happy as that transfers over and makes us happy too. 😊
Yes,they are pretty functional little vehicles. On the channel 9252 LIFE he bough an old one for his girls to ride around on their acreage like a side by side. It was cheaper than buying a new side by side ORV.
😊Happy Kitty meow meows!! People can be bullies and full Of hate!! Ignore them... or look at it like a comment is payment and for some reason they are watching! 😂
My 2 cats didn’t like it when I tried-out calling them “Fuzzy Butts”. I have to put “Mr.” in front of their names to get a response & to keep the peace.
Hay Erick what ya going to name your new wheels? You could call her Tater tot 2,or the second, or Jr. Because she looks like a Tater Tot as well. By the way my sister had a Tracker like yours. She sure loved that car. She would get another one in a heartbeat.
The 4x4 crowd have tall string lights that change colors and flash....looks pretty cool at night so you might be able to use the CB antenna for lights.
Eric, you seem so much happier now that you’re back in Arizona. If we were you, we would consider legally having nothing to do with Texas. While it is fun to be there Texas governmental paperwork is behind the times and filled with little Caesars. As far as the trolls that put out such negative energy it really says more about them than you. They are jealous of your success. And a success you are.
It is very obvious that you really like the Tracker. Have fun! We love the idea of making the Tracker CB antenna a flag holder and maybe a clamp on camera mount. All else fails on keys... locksmith. More expensive but usually right. There is one in Show Low. BTW, I don't change my own oil. Like you I can not buy good oil for what I can get the entire change done. Go Figger...
Your Tracker reminds me of my 1990 Isuzu Amigo I had. Very fun vehicles. You may have to order blank keys from eBay. I had to do that for our 2006 Jeep Wrangler. The dealer didn’t have them either. I had to go to a locksmith to have the new key cut, and the Jeep computer programmed since it’s a chipped key. Interested to hear what the issue is with your slide. I can’t imagine those new metal cogs failed.
Eric, mineral spirits or acetone (test this one) or maybe lacquer thinner (test this one too) will generally take that goo off much better than Goo Gone. Keep the good stuff coming buddy.
Better off with GMRS or ham radio these days. Unfortunately CB radio doesn't propagate very far so 9 times out of 10 no one can hear you calling for help.
@@dwC4u we were on a sailboat 10 miles off the coast of Florida on the west coast and had an emergency that disabled all of the electronics. Fortunately, we had a portable CB radio on hand and we were able to call out, it was picked up by the Coast Guard in Miami. All the way from Marco Island on the West Coast. They said it’s common for it to skip.
@@FaithwalkerToddI believe you are referring to a VHF Marine radio, not a CB radio. They are two completely different types of radio services. The coast guard doesn't monitor CB...
@@dwC4u I use CB all the time when wheeling in my Jeep works great. No license cheap radios everyone has them in the group I go out with. Likely the person who owned it before was part of a off road club like the Zuks of Arizona is a big club.
You’re property is looking great. I just got the county to approve grading the road to my 2 acres near Kingman. And to maintain. Next is deciding where to put various RV parking. I had that trouble with my keys, and had to go to a locksmith.
Loving the lil geo tracker. My neighbor has a sweet Suzuki Samurai all fixed up. Very similar. PS- you can just unscrew the tall antenna part from the round base and leave it off 👍
If you go on 4 wheeling trails with others many use CB radio to communicate because it's cheap, and no license is required. Some use race radio, or other radios like a HAM radio. I found CB the cheapest way to communicate on the trail. Likely that Geo was part of a club maybe others that why they had the CB radio.
I have a lot of friends that love these. By the way, you can get a 5 year registration in AZ and it only costs about $40 more. Have fun with it. Can't wait to see where you go with it. Congrats on the find.
Can you use cooking oil instead if no bar oil? Ive seen that in aome manuals.. Your going to be okay Eric..i like how happy you were at the end of the video...
I miss my 1990 red Geo Tracker. The thing was a go anywhere beast, I could push through a 2 foot snow back with out a problem, very impressive. I wish we had something similar is size these days.
I like the little tracker buddy, however please be safe. If you stay in that area next winter be fearful of ice. I have a Cdl-A, and we park it when ice is involved. Be well.also check a Chevrolet dealer for keys, didn't they sell those?
Regarding the stuff in your storage falling, maybe the change of humidity over the year caused boxes to weaken so any of them with stuff sitting on them might have just slowly drooped and things slid off.
Hi Eric We have been watching you for years and wanted to say thank you for great content and hope all is well. Love the Geo Tracker I used to have a Geo Storm years ago!
You look so much happier compared to the tornado videos. When life is good its best to enjoy it. Do what makes you happy 😊 i look forward to more videos from taterland
Erick, I am so happy that you have that tire on the back of the tracker. It could save your life. We were in a car accident where we were rear ended by a big truck. We have a 97' Honda CRV with the tire on the back and not a single scratch on the car. The truck's entire front end was smashed in. Hope you have a great Memorial Day! We love that GEO Tracker! Good fun, aloha!
I have solar panels on my roof, one year they had 1 1/2 feet of snow on them and were still generating electricity. Maybe just enough for a light bulb but under all that snow? Amazing.
For your key problem. I would try a car dealership service department. They might have something that will work. I had the same problem with my old motorhome key, finally found the right blank at a Ford dealer.
I like the idea of a compact suv with high clearance. I wish they still made those Trackers. The closest equivalent is maybe the Ford Escape or Toyota Rav 4, but those are much bigger than the Tracker.
Eric!! You should make a Maxxis track for crawling and whipping around. When your guests come with their RCs you’ll have your own course and get great content too!! Just saying
Hey Eric, you can remove the antenna and the coil separately from the ball mount. That way you can leave the ball mount on there, and not compromise the body / water getting in. You should be able to crank the coil off at the bottom by turning it counter-clockwise.
Get your HAM radio license and trade out antennas. It’s always nice to have a ham radio to talk to people and in case of an emergency you have a way to communicate
@@nomadicfanatic built in hazzard lol but I think you would have fun making your own little mini putt putt golf. You should definitely get a cb change the antenna for a lighted one and put a flag on it too. Go Tator Truck!
Good video! RADIO: Go ahead and put a CB radio in. The wires and antenna cable are probably all in place. It can be very useful out in the boonies. Even better would be an amateur radio VHF/UHF radio, but that needs a license. HARDTOP: I had a friend with a removable hard top on his sports car. He had a pully rig in the garage rafters that was a cool setup. Take care.
Hey Eric a solar panel is never 100% efficient as it’s dark 50% of the time, then at low sun times (sun rise/sun set/winter) lowers it down to 33%. Yes add more panels but battery storage is the best way to store the sun shine energy till you need it.
Be kind and respectful below. I will no longer tolerate ANY hate or harassment on my channel. ZERO TOLERANCE. If you can't be an adult, you get reported and banned for life. No warnings or exceptions. Thanks, and love to all!
If things get bad, you might appreciate that cb. I would keep it.
I don’t know why people want to hate so much with everything else going on the world. Have a good day Eric I enjoy your channel. I don’t even rv I live in Colombia. I’m a retired marine and travel a lot and you have shown me places I want to visit when I come home.
Use used motor oil that’s filtered. What everyone else does here.
I would keep the cb antenna it's retro and you might need it. Sad that we can't get keys made anymore . Glad that you are home and not in those storms... Great video
🤔Yes not the best. So just get reg motor oil on clearance
This looks like some Barbie accessory, all you need to do is paint it pink.
Check out the Bajaj miatta from The Rad Factory. You need that done to the new ride so you can do some serious off-roading😊
Just a suggestion. I would not describe your tracker as a "rig," and the engine size has limitations. Enjoy it for what it is. A Jeep wanna a be...JK have fun.

lol many people will call any automobile a rig. Maybe it’s a country thing…
It’s identifying as a truck but we know what it really is.
No offense, but it's not a truck. SUV, but not a truck. 😆😂🤣😅😆

It did look like someone had rummaged through his stuff. If there was no signs of rodent activity, then I would bet on a bigger rat did some digging.
On google it says it is a mini suv not a truck lol
Wow, 13 miles is sooo far to town, I live right next to a Walmart... here in South Dakota 75 moles away is 'next door' lmao

Eric, where did you get that two-story cat tent? I’ve been looking online for 6 months and haven’t found anything as nice as that.
LOL, im sure eric is man enough to change his own oil... but the real question is...... IS ERIC EVER SOBER ENOUGH TO CHANGE HIS OIL 🙂
Wifey says to name your new tracker, just TRUCK.
Eric, you seem so much happier now that you’re back in Arizona. If we were you, we would consider legally having nothing to do with Texas.

As far as the trolls that put out such negative energy it really says more about them than you. They are jealous of your success. And a success you are.
CB's for off-road comes in handy with others who are with you and if you are in a OHV area you can still put a red off-road flag on
Suggestion: go to an actual key store/locksmith, not a key kiosk in a big box hardware store.
Buy a cb radio with a built in swr meter, Cobra cb's. Find them at truck stops.
Thanks for the video. My favorite You Tube Channel.
Wow, thanks!
Eric, haters are gonna hate. Don’t let them affect you. You do you. Great vid
Hey Eric! Fun video. Have you tried an official locksmith in the area? Big box stores don't make as good a key as a locksmith
It is very obvious that you really like the Tracker. Have fun!
We love the idea of making the Tracker CB antenna a flag holder and maybe a clamp on camera mount.
All else fails on keys... locksmith. More expensive but usually right. There is one in Show Low.
BTW, I don't change my own oil. Like you I can not buy good oil for what I can get the entire change done. Go Figger...
I love how you name everything. Trailer Swift… hilarious.

In the UK that's called a Suzuki Vitara.
Eric, mineral spirits or acetone (test this one) or maybe lacquer thinner (test this one too) will generally take that goo off much better than Goo Gone. Keep the good stuff coming buddy.
Thanks! I'm not done cleaning it up. Will try some of that!
I’m selling an Xplorer 228 just like the one next to your tracker
Ummm. Love ya bro but 13 miles is like a 10 minute drive.
Memaw x5 likes the new wheels. By the way we’ve had rain for 2 days now.
I would name it White Wendy (since it's always windy there).
Did you try Walmart? They usually make keys for the most part or most of them.
Dont talk Az up to much, it doesn't need anymore attention to this place haha
Eric I'm being respectful and everything, but your Tracker sounds like it might have an exhaust leak.
He means he is trying to abide by the rules of the anti-offend-me Staatspolizei
Next time you come to the midwest please bring the sun & blue skies. Cuz these tornado scares are a bummer.
Eric brings Seattle weather with him most of the time. He seems to have his own personal rain clouds.
A small utility trailer would make it possible to bring in larger supplies, such as 8 ft lumber.
Smart to have gotten out of the Midwest, they are getting hammered with bad weather. Enjoy those beautiful blue skies and sunshine.
A CB radio can be a lifesaver.❤😂🎉
I was thinking the same, in these times of war. I used to love to hear the trucker talk on the CB, good entertainment.
Better off with GMRS or ham radio these days. Unfortunately CB radio doesn't propagate very far so 9 times out of 10 no one can hear you calling for help.

Hahahaha soon as Eric turns his back @9:01 , the cats jumped to the 3rd level of the playhouse 😄😄😄
They're trying to pull a fast one on him 🤣🤣🤣
Love the increase of videos weekly ! Long time sub
More to come!
AZ does have earthquakes
Every state has earthquakes
I always wanted to bring my two cats to the ocean..
Good morning I am the first one to leave a comment
Only one thing to say. Buy one of those light up antennas, that would look bad ass.
Keep up the good good work.
Dude they will put the worst oil in it!!!!!!!!! put the best in all your vehicle AMSOIL #1 dont chinch out on that
DONT DO IT, do NOT throw it ON the GROUND> LMAO
Did you try Ace Hardware for those keys?

My favorite videos are the ones on the homestead , I just bought land in arizona so I’ll be starting homesteading in a UA-cam channel
Cb comes in handy if you breakdown and have no cell reception. Also great to find out traffic conditions. Id rather have that than a flag.
I have always wanted a Geo tracker since the 80s. That's a real beauty.
Looks like a lot of fun riding around d in the new ride. Need a name, I still say 4xTator has a good ring to it 😂😂
its not that far out try being 25 miles out
Can you use cooking oil instead if no bar oil? Ive seen that in aome manuals..
Your going to be okay Eric..i like how happy you were at the end of the video...
I miss my 1990 red Geo Tracker. The thing was a go anywhere beast, I could push through a 2 foot snow back with out a problem, very impressive. I wish we had something similar is size these days.
Come up with a name for the Tracker yet?
I vote Tater Tot 2.0
I'm still thinking...
That locksmith is also Bonded.

keep the cb antenna until you know you wont use one when you and your buds go off roading.
Walmart should have a key making machine, usually they are in customer service area.

Hey Eric, you can remove the antenna and the coil separately from the ball mount. That way you can leave the ball mount on there, and not compromise the body / water getting in. You should be able to crank the coil off at the bottom by turning it counter-clockwise.
hey thanks for the tip!
I want it. Our daughter's first car was a Chevy tracker, she loved it.
Get your HAM radio license and trade out antennas. It’s always nice to have a ham radio to talk to people and in case of an emergency you have a way to communicate
The Tracker is such a cool RV vehicle. It’s hard to find them in such good condition. Enjoy!
I think you can get a few decals and call the Tracker "LIL FOOT" like your new ride...
Get yourself an airfryer for your chicken.Crispy kfc tasting chicken and wings.
Great piece of land to put in a disc golf course! You ever play? I bet it’d go over big with friends.

I know you must be enjoying seeing all of the beauty of the outdoors with the top down on your tracker. That’s the way to travel! Nice.
They do have earthquakes in Arizona. I've been through a few when I lived there. Also see the crack in the wall. It's caused by the building shifting.
CB radio could be fun (and useful)!
I love that Tracker 😊great find...✌🏿🏕
Glad you’re back to having FUN!! Love your Tracker and your lifestyle!!
