    Ive never done a geo tracker but the way i do cars complete or not is cut the roof behind the windsheild and in front of back window. Cut door support column top and bottom (just above seat belt thing) cut seat belt with army issued seat belt cutter, if theres no transmission i start right where the lever would stick out of the floorand cut through to one side. Then go to other side. Make sure you have a jack or block at that point to keep your blade from hitting the ground as you exit the cut. Depending on the car you may need to cut in front of the trunk area if your unable to move it. Then i stand the back up on the trunk like its doing a wheelie, and flop it in on its side. Then take the front half and slide it in the open area thats left. Usually where the seats would be. I usually do this by myself with a sawzall, grinder, splitting maul, wire cutters and generator. I have socket sets with me but rarely use them. Youll want NEW blades for the saws both long and short. Like 14-18 tooth per inch. But if it has hubs and you feel confident in its ability to roll go ask the junk yard if you can borrow or buy real cheap tires or even just rims that fit to get it on your trailer. Tell them that its gonna be coming to them if they help you with the tires.
