Modified Colorado, Solid Axle Swap Modified Episode 82

[@donewhiskey]

Took him four days to cut out the IFS and build the entire Patrol solid axle system. Took me four days to change my diff fluid.

[@ahmedbhana8301]

Ronny this was the best modified so far. That guy is a legend. There was nothing bought. He made everything himself. A trully humble guy who knows how to have fun. Wish i was as diy talented

[@freedomrider266]

He's a trained vehicle specialist---not a simpleton...Go to some classes, you can do the same things in due order....Just put in the time, that's all.

[@ahmedbhana8301]

@@freedomrider266 in simpleton i meant his humble and a form follows function guy. Im a weekend diy'er but his proffesional.

@Danny i checked it up and u absolutely right👍. Edited my comment😉

[@psy06]

gotta love diy stuff, so much nicer than a whole arb catalogue. humble guy too

[@devinj4221]

Awesome build! And I 100% agree about the electronic 4x4. I had it on my Tacoma, and all the 4x4 electronics fail when you wheel it or get it wet. So I swapped in an FJ Cruiser manual transfer case and tore out the 4x4 ECU and now it's mint!

[@sherlock8627]

Gotta love the 4jj motor I had one in my Colorado 160thou on the clock never missed a beat until it got stolen last November (not recovered yet). Now got a new max and just as good.

[@Bold_bezels]

Awesome you showed this rig here. I actually messaged the owner on Instagram last march and he’s pretty cool guy. Answered all my questions, shared something about his rig. Just plain sicked rig!

[@mitbener6805]

Best Colorado I’ve seen! That guy should be proud of what his made!

[@phantomwalker8251]

all he did was buy the wrong vehicle.then had to work on it to make it right.IFS is bullshit,weak,useless.&,ill bet he bought it cos he thinks its holden..

I assume you own a patrol with that attitude phantom girl.

[@rossrhodes1963]

Awesome build. The best thing is how with all that he has done. It doesn’t stick out out like a sore thumb. Prefer these builds than those that scream look at me.

[@charlieleuluai2267]

Wicked build mate, your run down is getting better everytime Ronnie. This guy is chill as. 🤙🤙

[@markholtan5696]

That was a badass truck. Really enjoyed how he build such a fantastic machine on an average mans budget. Wish I had his skills 👍👍

[@bushfirej]

It's great to see something different, and still it would be classed as a budget DIY build

[@darwonboyful]

Awesome rig. I love how he's taken something and made it his own.

[@mulishapatrol]

I own a Colorado there a good 4x4 can't beat the old 4jj1.

[@lastknownlocation8760]

Yes, they’re good Isuzu engines

[@SimonElenor]

@@lastknownlocation8760 Yeah don't say that over here in the USA. Them's fighting words! Trying to tell them the Duramax V8 is an Isuzu is impossible even though it has a badge on it that states it. The Colorado is one of the only decent diesels we have over here. Being English I got excited about all the V8's when I came over. But it is so weird how little power they make for the size they are. Oh well. That's why I am trying to convert all vehicles over to turbo diesel.

[@mulishapatrol]

@@SimonElenor yeah I heard the duramax was built by Isuzu how awesome!

[@einfelder8262]

@@mulishapatrol I thought the Duramax had GM bottom end and Isuzu built the heads and top end, could be wrong. Definitely a GM-Isuzu joint effort, in any case.

[@mushstash7660]

I don’t have my license yet but I’m close and I watch your videos for knowledge

[@maatouk96]

Yeah noelz ya bloody sicko

[@rickz9495]

Very handy man and a awsome 4x4. Bring the man back on the show when he has finished his camper trailer.

[@SimonElenor]

Hankook Dynapro RT03. Great tyre! If you look at the tread the blocks and the voids change in size as it goes around the tyre. They have a hard time loading up with mud. I have always liked them.

[@Alan.livingston]

Recently went to the canvas canopy on my tub. Love it. Wouldn’t go back.

[@geoffgero6081]

I miss the old intro music. Great video as always and super cool build

[@Hobofish622]

My favorite episode of modified so far. Full of knowledge and very humble and chilled guy. Love it

[@Chris-74]

i like the way you set up your video's Ronny.. The ease of being able to go to what time mark you want makes it so easy, thanks for your hard work, making it easy for us !

[@dannyconelly1454]

Surfboard = Surfing... Body boarding = CBF learning to stand up, but watch me charge this mad shorey! (still not surfing tho) Mad build.. Props to the vision and dedication to do it!

[@jimbojones2457]

What an absolute weapon! Top bloke with top skills! Very well set up rig. Hey Ronny, don't know if you noticed but your headings for tyres and lift and under bonnet are ass about lol.

[@aussiefishing7883]

Nice upgrade! She’s a moist rig!

[@travisoverly1432]

Love it! I own a first gen Chevy colorado here in the states and that is exactly what I wanna do with it!

[@travisoverly1432]

I shared this link to a colorado group on facebook for other to check this thing out. It's awesome.

[@jdonaldson5709]

I'm a ford ranger man through and through. But i do like this holden. Expressly with the solid axle

To many beers editing this one mate. Haha

[@adbricky7722]

Under bonnet?? Suspension and tyres 🙃🙃

[@ZaberBiest]

Yeah... Lol

I think he said another guy does all the editing for modified episodes? In the video with his number 1 fan

[@josephlister5618]

Hey Ronny you could pass on to the fella that certain isuzu bighorn/trooper transfer cases bolt onto the rc colorado gearbox, which would give him the 4wd shift lever. 😁👍

[@seanpereira6961]

This is really one of the best in a great overall series, cheers for creating and sharing it!

[@tublife4x469]

I love the way the tailgate is setup. I've been thinking of doing the qtr chop and rear bar but having the swing arm is brilliant.

[@alstone5559]

Hey Ronny. What a beast mate. I think you put lift and tyres banner for the engine section.

[@blueelectricfusion]

love these sitdowns.. I learn alot in short order!

[@scottneal2738]

I like how the titles are swapped for under the bonnet and tyres.

[@Tanner731]

solid axle swaps are the best

[@slowboat6021]

Awesome "build", love the effort put into this rig,

[@i_am_tinny_man_2267]

Not a fan of these small cube diesels BUT put a solid axle on a previously IFS (shit) setup and you have your self a bloody tough rig! Bloke did a Good job building this 👌👌

[@einfelder8262]

There is only one small cube diesel that you should be a fan of - the 3.0L 4JJ1 Isuzu engine that's in this car. There is no other engine as good as this. A little bit of tuning and 750Nm is yours on stock internals. If only Nissan had used this engine in the GU instead of the poxy ZD30.

[@madcratebuilder]

Very interesting to see the difference in AU and USA Colorado, This a very nice truck, I would love to see how it would do along side a ZR2 on 33's, tuned and geared. I sure like that soft top, I think I would prefer it over my Softopper.

[@rickhidding4053]

4JJ1 POWER!

[@mrblondeheart9562]

I’ve got the North American 04 Colorado with the 3.5L I5 and I would love a solid axle swap. I like the front end of the North American Colorado better but pretty damn cool what you’ve done to yours bro!

always good watching all these vids getting ideas to do on my 4x4. nice build mate and great video ronny

[@kevinasman1036]

Really digging the new intro music. Great stuff 👌

[@Redmanfms]

If I could get a nice little four-banger diesel in a Chevy stateside, I'd buy it. Nice little truck. Good enough on fuel to be a daily, but can keep up with the hardcore types. I love my 6.7 Ram, but this little pickup would make more sense on the sorta keep trails around me, even without the solid axles.

Awesome vid as usual mate. Are we going to see the Forrester in the background in a modified at all??

[@jeep6242]

I would sort of get this for the US but for OZ this just gives me a stroke with all the vehicles you have as foundations there.

[@oldage001]

Solid Axle 4x4 Ute's like Patrols and LandCruiser's that haven't been thrashed are becoming rare and expensive. If you have the skills, it seems like a good idea to get a cheap IFS Ute with a reliable engine and just modify it to suit your needs.

[@freedomrider266]

Hilux and 200 Series are IFS...LC79s (which I love) are HEAVY as Hades....Patrol isn't made anymore....I like this cat being different, plus we see TOO many Jeeps and 80 Series as it is....

[@jeep6242]

@@oldage001 Yeah I guess you guys probably get some Isuzu derived diesel there that is not terrible. Here (the US) that Gen of Colorado is garbage from front to back. Later they got better.
