Meet The Honduzu! | Honda Passport / Isuzu Rodeo

[@edwardsflores6110]

The most affordable off-road and underrated.

[@GridLineGo]

Absolutely 100% agreed!

[@yxngweezy]

Your car gives me tears bro. It even has the same color combo. My family had a 1999 Isuzu Rodeo thats been in the family for 17 years until my aunt got into accident. I have so memories of that car going back to my childhood, also with me learning how to drive. I hope she serves you well man! Hopefully I can find a clean one for sale in the future.

[@salami99]

I would suggest a middle brake light, especially AFTER being rear ended

[@GridLineGo]

I do have one

[@johnhanselman6371]

Welcome to the the Isuzu community

[@GridLineGo]

Thank you! It's a great community to be apart of

[@reecewoodley4655]

Been following you on instagram for a long time, so glad I found this video

[@GridLineGo]

Hey! Thanks for following! I really appreciate it, I'm glad you found this video. Thanks for watching!

[@VramanNoodles]

We had one back in 2018, it was in good condition and it was going really well.... until a freaking Ford F-Series hit us. I'm still sad, because that is my favorite SUV.

[@GridLineGo]

Oh no! That's unfortunate. I'm really sorry to hear that, I hope everyone is ok... and maybe you can get another one sometime down the road

[@pbrows6310]

Underrated and undervalued SUV.. Rodeos and Passports.. find one with a tranny rebuilt..and hopefully no rust ..and go to the mountains. 250k miles easy.

[@GridLineGo]

Absolutely agreed 👍

[@roycevasquez2387]

Awesome video! Keep them coming!!

[@GridLineGo]

Thank you! Many more to come! 😁👍

[@jbxtacos]

Noice. Now we need a vid of that first gen trooper

[@GridLineGo]

Next in line! 😜

[@girasouljewelsinc.4078]

The bottle opener 😭 lit 🔥🌻✨

[@GridLineGo]

I thought it was a creative addition 😜

[@samueldecelles6646]

The Passport is the best rebadged Isuzu ever!!

[@GridLineGo]

102% agreed!

[@SyntaxErrorr]

You guys must have never heard of the 1994 Honda Jazz then 😹 Isuzu rebadged From izuzu MU. It’s a 3.1l turbo diesel. 4x4 and 5speed, with an OEM fender mirror. Rolls coal too

[@GridLineGo]

@@SyntaxErrorr i thought the Honda Jazz was the Fit? 🤔 imma have to look into that, that sounds really cool!

[@SyntaxErrorr]

@@GridLineGo yeah the “modern” Honda Fit is known as “Jazz” but the original Jazz is a 2 door SUV mean machine. I imported one from Japan to texas.

[@SyntaxErrorr]

@@GridLineGo the American version is called the isuzu amigo. But sadly we didn’t get turbo option or diesel option.

[@Atomic--kv2ct]

Yah I just got a grandmas rodeo and I’m can’t wait to start doing things to it, but I’m a little lost cause idk what to do first

[@GridLineGo]

Oh sweet! Well, start by asking yourself "what am I (you) planning to do with it" whats your goal with it, Whats your budget, how often will you being what you wish with it. Once those question can be answered, then pull up some ideas on the web, jot down some plans that you found that you like. Let me know if you have any questions.

[@Hollymountainhwy16]

I had 2 passport 98 & 99 still running great, good shape, I bet passport will defeat newer mid. Sizes suv. about quality wise only differences is features

[@GridLineGo]

In offroad capabilities? Honestly...the new Passports would give the old Passports a run for their money. They are very good. However, certain obstacles, yeah the older Passports would be more capable, just due too ground clearance alone

[@chillinone25]

Yeaaahhhh brah!!!!!!! 👌👌👌

[@gracerenee768]

Hey! I have an 01 I just got, I’ve been unable to read codes for the abs with an OBII scanner. I’ve heard of others shortcutting by shorting out points 4 and 12 to get flash codes, and that’s not working either. Any ideas?

[@GridLineGo]

I don't...I know you'll have to get the code via flash. You wont be able to retrieve codes via scanner. I've heard that the pin out for the DLC on these are funky and sometimes they're backwards or upside down, something along those lines. I'm sorry I can't help you with that.

[@gain0667]

So in the US, they did use a different A/T transmissions? In Thailand, we got the one from Aisin (AL30-E). This is bulletproof reliable.

[@GridLineGo]

I didn't know that. Thats good info! Here we get the GM 4L30E auto and MUA5 for manual

[@GridLineGo]

@@williamperri3437 Yeah they do look great in black! And as far as the powertrain goes, I believe the transmission is the same. However, I also believe the engine has direct fuel injection for that year

[@Ateesrocker]

Hey man awesome rig! I was looking at getting a 98 rodeo with the 3.2L and was wondering if you knew of any specific things to look for on these trucks and specifically engine and transmission. And any common issues they have. The one im looking at has 58k miles.

[@GridLineGo]

Thanks you! 58k?! Wow! They're awesome, capable and underrated for sure. The auto transmissions do tend to be the weak link if not maintained well. Adding a good transmission cooler and regular fluid/filter changes will really prolong their life. Other than that, just look at your normal wear items as if you were buying any other used vehicle.

[@julianoliva2850]

What are the specs of the rear diff ? Im planning to buy a 2001 honda passport v6 4x4 rearend w/disk brakes For a drift truck project

[@GridLineGo]

Oh sick! Its a Dana 44 HD. Meaning, Dana44 with a Dana 60 pinion. 4.10 gear ratio. Same axle is in the Jeep Wrangler JKs. Some Rodeo/Passports have 3.92s I believe

[@julianoliva2850]

@@GridLineGo thanx bro nice vids u made blessings from ensenada México 🍀🎶🍻🤙🏼

[@danrichardson3653]

I commented on your vac purge valve video today, but not sure it will be seen since that vid posted yrs ago. Can you direct me to a place to purchase the vac purge valve? I have an 2001 EX 3.2

[@GridLineGo]

Maybe check your local parts store.

[@frnciscob1]

Where did you get the front bumper brush guard ? eBay?

[@GridLineGo]

I found it used on Craigslist 👍 You can get them from ebay too though, yes.

[@eduardoestevez2660]

Is the isuzu rodeo the same as the honda passport?

[@GridLineGo]

Of that era, yes

[@jake34578]

Have you had any problems with burning oil ?

[@GridLineGo]

Yes I have. I go through a quart every 1500 miles or so. Depending on if I do a lot of city or highway driving.

[@woahyeah6692]

Looking at a rodeo, can it do the distance? I’d like to take it across country. It’s a 98 with decent miles and great condition. Could it last a trip like that?

[@GridLineGo]

Any car can, and any car cant. It really depends on the vehicles overall condition. Its hard to give you a thumbs up without looking at it myself.

[@ItsMcSpoony]

Any chance you can put links to all the equipment you’ve bought? Digging the ride

[@GridLineGo]

Thank you! I have another video that does, they're in the description. It's the Walk around video

[@justice684]

Can you tell me your lift you have

[@GridLineGo]

It is pieced together, here is a link to my other video that goes into detail about it. There is a parts list in the Description area. ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4rMZYCCmpytgLc ) Thanks for asking and thanks for watching!

[@alexflosho]

the thumbnail is a little bit hyped over a fricking isuzu.

[@GridLineGo]

Probably because I'm mind blown by how good this thing actually is 🤘
