Modified Nissan Navara D22, modified episode 8

[@5timeswiser]

In my opinion Ronny Dahl is as Aussie as you get. A go getter, hard worker, make this country great kind of guy. This guy will go along way I bet ya. Thanks Ronny for keeping it real and showing the world a side to Australia that no one else has. I love these modified videos.

[@shot2x]

He did mate

[@chefdan87]

I miss my D21 Hardbody more than most could ever understand. These trucks are built right and are tough as nails.

[@scottcullum4642]

Awesome looking Ute Ash. Got a d22 myself and love it. Slowly doing some mods. Switch set up is really cool

[@thepassionofthegoose5472]

Amazing rig. I'm in the process of doing a WD21 Pathfinder build, so I'm eating up everything Nissan related.

[@waynejakamarra1759]

I'm a D22 owner, Chip, Exhaust and Lifts, got those on my modification list👍😁

[@desertlogic222]

You Aussies do off roading and camping right! Practical and efficient. I wish we could get diesel over here but we are ruled buy an oil oligarchy disguised as freedom. I love the vids, keep up the good work !

[@alsitte]

oh you are so right about the cup holder :-) What a great D22 some great ideas going on

[@metalgwar3301]

2010? Wow they stop making that body style in 2004 in the USA. Mine is a 2003. Love my Nissan. Yours is just awesome! Love it!

[@synago_scribe]

Mine is an 2001 2WD XE, @MetalGwar - I follow your channel and build because that's my dream for my own truck. I have had it for 8 years and it's a slow crawl of a process making money to do it - but will be well worth it! THANKS!

[@lukedontknow9283]

They where sold till 2015 in Australia

[@nicholasduarte7219]

Yup your right 2004 was last year I have a 2004 frontier love it reliable truck love your channel MetalGwar awesome build you got love the punisher!!!

[@chancey1979]

It's a shame they quit selling the D22 in the U.S. in 2004. Absolutely love this model. I've had 2 of them. Both 2000 4x4 Models. One KC and the other CC i have now with 3'' BL and 1.5'' SL with only 105k on it as of now. The Crew Cab Short Beds are a bad ass looking truck. These trucks will run a 33'' Tire with just a 3'' Body Lift. I ran 285/75/R16's for 10 years with 3'' body lift only.

[@DENMONKEY]

ha, only an Aussie could follow this conversation. yeah. yeah ?? yeah yeah !! yup. If I had a dollar for every yeah in this one I could afford to buy his truck off him :)

[@Ronny_Dahl]

+DENMONKEY yeah nah...

Need to review a 3L d22 all the ones you have done are 2.5L

[@CustomcrowdMitroc]

they have all blown up

[@seandk104]

Agreed

[@beyondbackwater4933]

@@CustomcrowdMitroc my old zd30 navara I had never caused any problems

[@funsimulator7246]

Yd25s are just as bad

[@nickdenvir9765]

You have come a long way since then Ronny

[@allthehardtimes]

Ronny I really enjoy your modified series

[@pokefever524]

Barry J me too

[@shobogenzo]

Frontier owner out here in Los Angeles. Wow, helpful video and awesome truck. I'll check the rest out.

[@kevboyle3746]

Great Clip guys and good review - great food for thought for D22 owners. Liked the bit at the end about the shit drink holders....so true!!!

[@JohnPedder]

Good interview, and both guys are pretty cool too. Great tips from him too: chip, exhaust and lift kit.

[@JohorBahru-m5m]

im a d22 2005 owners from malaysia, this machine truck still working and rocking 😊

[@freqeist]

picking one up in England this week, hope its ok great video chaps

[@MuddyRuttzz]

Great review! Love the the traction board mounting. I might use that idea on our Gladiator Rubicon Ecodiesel. Good common sense build, man knows what he needs.

[@duncanjeffrey1032]

most awkward conversation I've seen

[@gibbethoskins8621]

That is a sick rig. Looks great with the 12.5 -22's

[@aquafina_01]

My first car as a kid this was it. Well it was a 1999 d22 Qd32 engine and my first model was the exhaust and man I tell you it roared louder than a cruiser 😂 (miss that car)

[@pazsa78]

Shared it to the aussie nav page!! Another great vid mate!! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@lankafan8311]

Nice Cab. THX 4 sharing Got White, D 22 , QD 32 Engine, rear bay with metal cage, up lift able roof rack + beige color, side wall folded canvas Nankang AT Wide tires, body lifted etc 2 x days ago did 1 x of the most extreme mountain tracks in Sri Lanka. The Devils stair case in Horton plains to Bambera kanda Ella = bees mountain water fall Altitude, Fog, Rain , Cold, Slippery rocks , VERY narrow tracks with very steep falls, tree trunks on the both side of the track with barely CM s to maneuver Part of the track 3 KM needed + than 2 x hrs to get through Nissan ,D 22 was massive, performed exceptionally well. 1st vehicle to be driven on that extreme track after 22 yrs Visit Sri Lanka: a land like no other

[@Spot-lp3yd]

Re the cup holders my son just bought the new np300 navara and it comes with 10 cup holders so he's more worried about drowning the car if all his drinks leak at once than river crossings lol

[@alexmoran731]

Awesome.....I have a 2004 nissan frontier(N. America Navara). The navara in this video should go on your expeditions😉

[@gibbethoskins8621]

Your camera entries are gold haha

[@Intenslfled]

Was with this bloke last night at harvey! Unfortunately he went for a swim and it wouldn't start. Mint car though 👍👍

[@yogzentreking5981]

Had my D22 for 5 seconds and already know about the drink holders situation 🤣

[@StephenMose]

Hi Ronny, Steve here from Nairobi, Kenya. Great stuff.

[@jeremyturner4376]

there's a toe in problem under acceleration its due to Nissan engineers fucking up. its a dogbone shaped center link that allows a lifted Nissan tie rod angles to flex the centerlink up while under acceleration in 4wd. The way i fixed this problem is doing a 2wd centerlink conversion, using the 2wd center link, 2wd inner tie rods, 4wd inner tie rods, and 4wd adjusting sleeves. i machined the adjusting sleeves out to 18mm 1.5 pitch right handed threads to accept the 2wd inner tie rods. very easy mod took about 2 hours for me and fixed the toe in problem under acceleration. hope you read this and use it!! it fixed the ifs lift problem ezpz!!

[@aussierestorationsmods2715]

I love how us Aussies talk, So much slang

NICE TRUCK! Any problems with the Front Locker in the IFS? My 91 Toyota Pickup has a 4" lift kit and w/Front Locker and IFS. Front diff is crooked now because of weak brackets to the frame. The 4" lift kit had something to do with this.... Among other things!lol :)

[@MrTraewilliams]

What is the new rule with the lights. I have been watching these modified videos and every keep talking about the rule but never say what it is. thanks

[@crashtcool3369]

I just bought a 2004 navara with a 3L turbo and cant wait to take it off-road it leaks a tad of oil. Im 16 and need every bit of advice possible

[@Ardendy]

Sell it and buy a 2.5

[@Swinglah17]

+Crash Tcool nah the 3l go hard, fix up the oil leak first. But the first mod to get if you wanna get the furthest offroad is a good set of mud tyres. navs can fit 265/75/16 on stock suspension height with minimal scrubbing of the guard. Good luck dude, have fun.

[@promxrippa]

+Crash Tcool sell it and buy a toyota

[@Ardendy]

toyota's suck

[@MrGooseG]

haha i am 16 as well and just bought the exact same car :D

[@ImDdayGaming]

Thanks Ronny for the great video, really gave me some great ideas or my own D22.

[@JBsManCave]

That is a nice ride.

[@daltonmorris1287]

Love the paint job.

[@Trandytran]

hey ronny 4wd newbie here looking at getting my first 4x4. Looking at a 2003 d22 st-r 3.0ltr turbo diesel. Gonna take a look at it over the weekend but from photos s got bull/scrub bars winch snorkel, spotties and a canopy. 265000 kms, asking price is 9k at a dealer. just wondering on your opinions and what price i should ask if i should buy. Thanks!

[@robeberhardt2211]

Another great vid man😊

[@daltonmorris1287]

love the roof light.

[@andrewwheatcroft417]

awsum ute why dont you have more d22's on your shows

[@savilleadams1468]

Properly enjoyed this video

[@thatsgangsta2450]

It’s strange, 9 months ago I was watching this vid dreaming of the day I could own a d22 navara, now days I own a GU Ute. I was set on the idea of owning a nav too, bit devo I never got 1 but hey, patrols are better 😂

[@abuk44]

I love these videos, thank you !!

[@Katkin97]

Great vids mate, keep em up!

[@Adventure_Addictz]

What are the actual roof rails? Have tried searching oem Nissan racks but not sure if the same as these ones

[@walperstyle]

Question: Is this the same chassis as the Nissan Frontier sold in the US and Canada? I am curious how easy it would be to swap in that Diesel into my Nissan Xterra. I have a v6, but would love a TD.

[@user-eu2pf4nk3p]

yeah pretty sure

[@rollybuegge5683]

once again top vid Ronny

[@LeoCalde]

Great episode! loved it!

[@Poisonfibre]

Hey Ronny! Awesome Videos, You've got me hooked :) I am looking into a Nissan Navarra, However, I am now hesitant. By the looks of things, Ute's Have their downsides when touring but those downsides are not fully explained, To further elaborate on my confusion, do you reckon that you could bring out a video that explains the differences between UTE's and full 4WD like Nissan Patrols and those other big dogs. Cheers!

[@Ronny_Dahl]

That's a great idea mate will look into it after some other projects.

[@bustarigz5915]

interesting fact on the achilies xmt muddies, mine are 265/70/r17, on a d40, awesomesome in mudd, not that moisy at all when they are new. I agree witht the tyre pressures, that u can lower them a heck of a lot with out side wall bulg, but.. once I did do a bit of rock work the smell of the rubber from wheels spinning, was that distinct cheap rubber smell, like the smell of retread type rubber..

[@kylejames5592]

guys plastidip works really if applied correctly. it will also come off easily if no clear coat is applied on top, doesn't need clear coat. if clear coat is used then it does not come off as it is supposed to. other brands that claim to work like plastidip i would personally stay away from unless its the dip your car group.

[@JS-tb9hu]

I don't know if you are able to but could you please try and take shots of the back seats and his luggage storage. For example more video of where the compressor is. Great video anyway.

i run the desert hawks and find they are quite as for the first 15-20 k's after that they get a little noiser as they wear

[@fredbrackely]

Has the D22 got the same diff as the US version Frontier do you know? Cheers.

[@walperstyle]

Just asked the same question. I have an 05 Xterra and want to know how easily a guy could swap a Diesel Engine !!!

[@dwawen]

A modified Amarok episode would be mint

[@Ronny_Dahl]

Will see what I can do.

[@PaulBilly]

I love these videos but you guys need to use ND filters. Everything is overexposed. Sorry if 100 others already commented this. Cheers!

[@Ronny_Dahl]

+Paul Billy thanks for the comment, yeah we had a few overexposed in episodes 8-10. more than likely due to a bit rushing around as we filmed 3 episode on that day. our camera has 3 inbuilt ND filters so its due to human error on our behalf.

[@lachlanharrison6315]
