[@alanbstard4]

Love to see OKA make a Land Rover/Landcruiser type car

[@Rays4Days]

Awesome especially w the engine/drive train upgrades! Retirement vehicle for you in the future Ronny 🤔

[@spedon2wheels267]

I wish I had a OKA take the bois for long trips

[@adamjones2025]

I liked the Episode 83 that was a sweet one. This is still a VERY NICE VEHICLE

[@propertyforauction8024]

what a great episode Ronny. Thanks for the video. I would be interested in one of these as a tourer. Looking forward to the next review.

[@kingfinance1508]

It’s actually a nice change of pace when the guest is pro active in answering in towards the build!

[@tonygersbach375]

When aren’t they?

[@ryderwilson643]

@@tonygersbach375 they usually shy or quiet and just hesitant to answer questions a lo tof the times. i have watched over 40 modified episodes and id say 80-90 percent of the time they are like that

[@elrud5964]

Most people arnt used to the scrutiny of being questioned in front of a camera. Id probably be the same

[@eyezinstein9168]

Yeah this guy's super charismatic, love it

[@PeterKnagge]

He neglected to mention his aunty is WA ex deputy premier/ex Leader of the Opposition (as well as uncle being Hal Harvey)... So of course he's got the gift of the gab.

[@miggity_mac]

Nice to have Ronny on as a guest. Young lad really knows his stuff, good on him.

[@HenryDarr]

The lad is very knowledgeable in regards to all the specs of this vehicle and i found it refreshing how he answered all the questions directly and to the point.

[@harisbuza8862]

When the guest is also the presenter!

[@promenteryrobbins]

Great video - that guy should be a presenter - very articulate

[@michaelnugara1]

Young bloke has such an extensive knowledge and love the rig. I reckon this would rate as the best modified truck. Weapon

[@larjkok1184]

This guy could sell 100 of these! Well done, dude.

[@damienbolton6761]

A credit to the late Hal Harvey. What a beast of a rig so great to see the OKA still getting around.

[@NigelMarston]

Alongside a 6x6 G-Class, Unimog, Pinzgauer and Hagglund, I have just added one of these to my fantasy zombie apocalypse garage. Absolutely fantastic..!!

[@The1860th]

I really enjoyed this episode. The owner seemed thrilled to show it off & Ronny also seemed to be really enthusiastic about the rig.

[@dirtydaddy21]

Gonna have to watch this one twice. A very impressive vehicle and a very impressive young man so well presented and articulate

[@Beardinc]

Bet that oka tows the trailer like it isn't even there! Loved the passion the owner has for his truck. Enjoyed this episode!!! 🤙

[@touringwithtyrone4933]

Without doubt the best 4WD bus modification I have seen. Really well thought out and finished.... Mick

[@sultanamajam9725]

Awesomeness "BEYOND-BORDERS " real 👹"BEASTLY "........... enjoy its full4x4 potential awesome.

[@Thunderbirds404]

This guys a bloody legend.

[@panibe00]

Best intro clip on modified for a while “.......waiting for the 405” :)

[@888johnmac]

came here to post this exact comment , glad i looked first , have a like

[@MrTimstaaa]

What a beast. I reckon that would be much better than a Merc Unimog. More comfort and easier to drive. I've driven a unimog and not so great

[@Honkerdown]

I went on an OKA 4WD day tour from Perth, to the Pinnacles Desert, then down the beach back to Perth in 1996.

[@ShaneB666]

Two minutes in and you know it’s the real deal.

[@k2svpete]

Nice to see an Oka in the mix. My mechanic has a very nice one with a 6 cylinder Perkins conversion into it.

[@72mardy]

Low 14s in the 1/4 mile?? Holy shit 😳🤣😁

[@nomadexperts432]

Cool rig! The kid looks very proud and happy with it

[@ascarletheart2138]

This is the wild thornberry bus I’m in love.

[@narg87]

loving the variety of different modified vehicles you're showcasing

[@0991ekul]

what a brilliant episode. i am today years old to learn that WA had or has its own 4x4 vehicle manufacturing brand, designed, engineered and built in WA!

[@freelander.1]

Very well explained!!! Really nice truck

[@ugparmar1568]

Really Enjoyed. Didn't know something like this existed!! Thanks

[@PistonShack]

Hi Ronny. I have never heard about OKA in my life. In Canada we have 6.6 Duramax Diesel widely used on GM Heavy Duty pick up trucks - Chevrolet Silverado 2500/3500 HD or GMC Sienna. Thanks a lot for sharing another interesting review.

[@thebob3712]

Okka is/was a slang term for an aussie, dont hear it anymore these days

[@pryormio3853]

Great episode and also the guest was really good at answering questions

[@SiCrewe]

25 seconds in: Instant thumbs-up. That thing looks hard as nails!

[@glmaguire]

Perhaps the most famous OKA of all time

[@elizabethbotting4702]

👍

[@pseudechis]

All the goodies on this one! The early ones used to be notorious for things rattling loose but were terrific vehicles to drive. Remember driving one up the Tanami and back through the Kimberley and Kakadu. Halfway along the Tanami the gear stick just came right out....no worries...just push it back in. On another occasion the rear brake calipers rattled loose and disappeared completely tearing off the brake line

[@nate4036]

His expressions towards his bus shows the passion behind the build. He’s really intuitive about it

[@stuartkcalvin]

Good to see a young person knowing what they're talking about. Ronny was mostly gob smacked - no criticism intended Ronny. I don't do Insta nor Trak Yakker. You can monetise any way you desire, but YT subscribers are your best friend.

[@RedVMember]

I've always loved the OKA, anted one for so many years. Fantastic Aussie built madness

[@pinoysaaustralia9836]

Wow,, the bus is so amazing. I loved it

[@888DMAC]

Always loved OKA’s !! Cheers Ronny.

[@ultrablue2]

More like the “apocalypse bus”. Very impressive.

[@NathanNostaw]

Great interview, and top machine.

[@jamescotter3756]

As a former bus and coach driver I love this behemoth

[@wheelhouseadventures8176]

Thanks

[@jailbreakoverlander]

that is badassery!!!! Love the intro Ronno

[@rayzor3463]

Great choice of engine and be good to see a review on the new ones they’re doing with a cummins engine in it, I wouldn’t be running eight year old tyres on it though

[@carmelot324]

I used to work for the trading post in Sydney ,there was a 4x4 car dealer in Lakemba and they had a few of these Oka vans for sale ,I really liked them then and would love to have one some day.

[@jackalford6948]

Has this dude got a job? Sign him up Ronny he's a natural!

[@westralianoffroad]

Just quickly gotta say - that is the best intro you have ever done Ronny.

[@tbillington]

Fucking hell, 14 second quarter mile in that thing would be a wild ride

[@bambangsuseno6647]

What an awesome vehicle it is!

[@holgermuller2987]

G’day seen that weeks ago enjoyed it. Very Nice one off vehicle. Cheers

[@jemty9564]

that was great guys cheers

[@arneservatius1982]

Having change of mind. Love the transmission and axles. 🤗🇺🇸🇨🇦😁

[@Outland9000]

That's a sweet bus! Hilarious its been draged... And not slow either.

[@iampennochio]

That thing is awesome!!!

[@stuartatu5002]

That's Freaking Awesome!!

[@ChristianPareATLAS]

😂 that thing is ridiculous 😂

[@lucienwinter4515]

What a dream car!!!

[@dimreaper274]

I was in a stock oka that got bogged pulling in a boat trailer in the ocean in Hervey Bay (we got sponsored by oka from Perth to sail in a race over there). Remember the wheels all locked burying itself. Took 2 tractors linked with wire ropes to drag it out...

[@careymahoney1605]

Now to find a suburban house that will have a high enough garage to fit this..lol !

[@preppinglife624]

I absolutely love it!

[@rubiconned]

Great episode. Surprised Hal wasn’t referenced in this given how iconic this vehicle is

[@hyster16t]

What a rig👌 Love it💪

[@doughstarstar4032]

Total beast of a vehicle....drive it if you can afford it.

[@salahalsulaiman]

Yes very nice and interesting thank you

[@kingfinance1508]

These intros are killer!!!

[@bourbonthebiscuit]

That is a weapon I love it would love to own one, one of my best modified episodes 😁😉👍

[@LICENCED2THRILL]

Nice Rig 💪😎👍

[@smudgeone]

I work for SFC in Canada and it's neat to see the Efoy in an Australian camper setup.

[@phlfly10]

That is great one

[@jhare18]

So SOLID mate. But it’s one big Mama.

[@luisguerreiro1806]

Was one up for sale recently in the UK. Amazing bus.

[@elizabethbotting4702]

?

[@elizabethbotting4702]

Don't know of this one, south Africa , new Zealand, more info if can oka 4wd .com

[@rollyb5061]

good review Ronny, i know that OKA

[@martinengel3359]

Loving this.

[@janramilintong1187]

Damn I love the build

[@The_Opinion_of_Matt]

More Info on the history of OKA: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OKA_4wd First models sold in 1994. Falls under the 25 year rule for import to the U.S.

[@Ronny_Dahl]

Haha it does too

[@kingding8569]

Good on him great to see he’s built something for comfort and off-road tracks hats off bee awesome to travel Aus in that thing!! Hopefully we can build cheaper fuel using vehicles. Ford Mondeos have great fuel economy be good if we could get 4x4s running low fuel economy engines in the future

[@boxy4973]

Very very cool

[@9002alex]

How the fudge they fit a bloody duramax in there I can’t understand. I work one one of them with the original Perkins and there’s stuff all room in there, must have done some serious chopping. Bloody awesome!

[@jonbarlow3542]

I want one and great presentation guys!

[@rjl110919581]

thank you share this video as great detail OKA what remember that first build OKA was NSW in Sydney as only build for special truck 4x4 for railway or government job

[@elizabethbotting4702]

First built and designed in gold fields of WA at a pub

[@rodpalmer4652]

Could you be thinking of RFW?

[@theoffender3113]

Awesome bug out truck

[@TheGuyWho3415]

Oh I could dream about this one for a while

[@chazzer1969]

OKA Off-Road, Modified Episode 87, Aussie made, Aussie owned, and driven by an Aussie family. How much more Aussie could this get??? On Top of That, This Aussie beauty got the Rego Plate from The Best State in Australia(Western Australia) Can't get more Perfect than that. 😊 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍

[@ohmygawdhey]

This reminds me of an 80s Tamiya Lunchbox RC car.

[@kumbackquatsta]

finally! ronny, go visit the new oka atv factory and make a video, they're in perth

[@garynew9637]

Making them again?

[@Adhdroamer]

After much number crunching this would seem to be the best option instead of getting a normal 4wd ie landcruiser or patrol . Considering what the gvm and gcm is including a 4.5 ton towing capacity it would be cheaper to purchase a Oka then to buy and then kit out a 4wd. Very interesting.

[@cocohuthoian373]

I want this beast!

[@PaletoB]

This guy knows his truck :O or buss

[@grahamwhittaker8844]

I gotta put this on the lotto win list, what a machine.Aussie defence trailed these and a foreign company Vechicals won out,go figure ?👍🇦🇺🍺

[@slakk5093]

Thats so dumb, we should be supporting our local industry, especially when it comes to defence

[@paprikabushcraft7597]

O.K. so I didn't know what i desperately need in my life. But this is it.

[@craigtomkinson2837]

Lovely ep and 4wd with a lot of it made in Aus, but auto with a clutch, thats different

[@ThisFinalHandle]

14 sec quarter mile weapon.

[@mountainconstructions]

Love Bus

[@cameronharding_0171]

Been waiting for this hell yeah

[@andrewsimpson669]

Hi Ronny, this is a great video. I really enjoyed it. One thing I noticed in it, was you mentioning that you use your GoPro as a reverse camera. Is there a chance you could do a video on this?

[@chrispbacon3042]

At the very start I was expecting a Peugeot 405...Even better got an Aussie made OKA.

[@Malc664]

Based in O'Connor. Just at the back of Freo cemetary.

[@CiscosDisco22]

Great machine. Great review

[@DriftaholiC]

You can dump airsoft beads in your tires when mounting them. Try it out, I used it on my FJ80 with 35's to good effect.

[@larjkok1184]

How does that work?

[@syncrosimon]

That’s a big Syncro 😂
