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
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..
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.
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!
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!
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.
@@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 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.
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 !
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!
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.
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. 😁👍
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.
Hey Ronny, that is a awesome beast, luv your channel and watching your adventures. Everywhere you go is on our wish list for the future. Keep up the awesome work
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 👌👌
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.
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!
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.
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.
Lol I got excited when I saw Colorado. I thought you ment the state not the vehicle. I was like sweet an offroad trail the state over i might be able to hit some day.
That Colorado is so badass tbh I have a single cab I’m going to invest 30k for the ultimate Colorado off road I’m waiting now for my ls3 and upgrading my trans also my off road suspension
Haha, have fun when you weigh it: RC colorado with bullbar, winch, empty drawers, fibreglass canopy w/rack, tow bar.... congrats you can carry a full tank of fuel and one passenger - no gear.
The instagram account disappeared not long after this video came out. I’ve been searching for his new one but can’t find it anywhere! Have you had any luck?
Awesome rig. I love how he did everything himself. What is the weight of this thing stock? He said he hadn't weighed it since it was modified, but whats the stock weight?
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.
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....
@@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.
Another example of car manufacturers gone soft and not caring about the real 4wdrivers - if only more 4WD's would come out with this sort of option (SAS) - brilliant
Been looking for a isuzu KB300 4x4 (South africa) modified. Thanks mate just what i was looking for. Btw. our isuzus come standard rear diff lock 4x4 and 2x4.
Ronny - are you going to do a knew Modified w ASPW? He's just finished up his stretched DC79LC camper and painted it a Land Rover color 🤢 He's right there in Perth too
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.
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
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.
@@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😉
gotta love diy stuff, so much nicer than a whole arb catalogue. humble guy too
Best Colorado I’ve seen! That guy should be proud of what his made!
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..
@@phantomwalker8251 back to the therapist mate.
I assume you own a patrol with that attitude phantom girl.
Wicked build mate, your run down is getting better everytime Ronnie. This guy is chill as. 🤙🤙

I don’t have my license yet but I’m close and I watch your videos for knowledge
Yeah noelz ya bloody sicko
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.
I own a Colorado there a good 4x4 can't beat the old 4jj1.
Yes, they’re good Isuzu engines

@@SimonElenor yeah I heard the duramax was built by Isuzu how awesome!
@@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.
That was a badass truck. Really enjoyed how he build such a fantastic machine on an average mans budget. Wish I had his skills 👍👍
I miss the old intro music. Great video as always and super cool build
4JJ1 POWER!
Very handy man and a awsome 4x4.
Bring the man back on the show when he has finished his camper trailer.
"Just wedge it in there"
One of my people, my whole canopy live in set up is strategically wedged in.
It's great to see something different, and still it would be classed as a budget DIY build
To many beers editing this one mate. Haha
Under bonnet?? Suspension and tyres 🙃🙃
Yeah... Lol
I think he said another guy does all the editing for modified episodes? In the video with his number 1 fan
Haha so it’s not just me😂😂
@@ZaberBiest yeah we all noticed ;)
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 !
Awesome rig. I love how he's taken something and made it his own.
awesome modified ronny, this bloke seems real genuine and a wicked 4wder! super awesome collie with everything built himself i respect that!
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!
great to see a Colorado on Modified!
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.
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. 😁👍
Recently went to the canvas canopy on my tub. Love it. Wouldn’t go back.
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.
My favorite episode of modified so far. Full of knowledge and very humble and chilled guy. Love it
Wow! This man has some serious skills. Kudos on a great build 👏 👍 👌
Hey Ronny. What a beast mate. I think you put lift and tyres banner for the engine section.
This is really one of the best in a great overall series, cheers for creating and sharing it!
love these sitdowns.. I learn alot in short order!
This guy is super chill.
Very unique rig good to see he went something different awesome job.
Really digging the new intro music. Great stuff 👌
Best car on the show so far 👍👌
always good watching all these vids getting ideas to do on my 4x4. nice build mate and great video ronny
Hey Ronny, that is a awesome beast, luv your channel and watching your adventures. Everywhere you go is on our wish list for the future. Keep up the awesome work

Awesome "build",
love the effort put into this rig,
Love his slightly cut back canopy
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.
This guy is a complete legend
@9.18 .... "MODIFED" .... oh he has fed it alright haha, that's a wicked Collie
I like how the titles are swapped for under the bonnet and tyres.
That is one chill fn dude.
Love it! I own a first gen Chevy colorado here in the states and that is exactly what I wanna do with it!
I shared this link to a colorado group on facebook for other to check this thing out. It's awesome.
awesome stuff bloody nice modded Colorado very informative as well ... big thumbs up cheers :)
I'm a ford ranger man through and through. But i do like this holden. Expressly with the solid axle
Nice upgrade! She’s a moist rig!
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!
Pandemic Cheers to you Ronnie for the video. Amazing Rig!

solid axle swaps are the best
Best intro yet 😂 rippa build
Love this build!
Nice build, well done.
Finally some 4jj1 power 💪💪
I love this rig!!!!
great stuff guys enjoyed the Q&A and inspired to DIY more . cheers
he is a genius 👌
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.

Great video. Thank you guys
Nice one mate!
Lol, best start for a modified ever 😂
Very cool to have something different. 🤙🏽
Nice RIG 👌
Love the diy modified 😑👌🏽
Lol I got excited when I saw Colorado. I thought you ment the state not the vehicle. I was like sweet an offroad trail the state over i might be able to hit some day.
No one is going to want to go near the US for a good while haha settle down
That shape colorado looks tough as. Square lines and the hood scoop 👌👌. That is 4wd porn. 😂.
We need a 40 series
Cool-a-rado!
The design pattern for the fridge sliders looks neat! Sorry it's been stolen by bigger company. Bet you could sell some yourself.
He said he stole the design himself....And if he tried to sell, he would be sued and LOSE big time....Keep it legal.
Haha best intro to a modified so far!
Hahaha these intros are sick
That Colorado is so badass tbh I have a single cab I’m going to invest 30k for the ultimate Colorado off road I’m waiting now for my ls3 and upgrading my trans also my off road suspension
Love that intro!!!!!
This thing is a beast ! Great ep Ronny!
Awesome rig!
That is a nice rig. I really like that oldmate SAS'd it himself.
everyone in america does it.for decades..
Yep I made it myself! 🤣👍 luv it!
Haha, have fun when you weigh it:
RC colorado with bullbar, winch, empty drawers, fibreglass canopy w/rack, tow bar.... congrats you can carry a full tank of fuel and one passenger - no gear.
Can you do ThePartyBuss next?! Nicks patrol is legit.
Nice piece of work! Impressive.👍
the holden colorado is much better looking than our US colorados, not to mention safer using Yellow signals front and back.
Top bloke
Awesome vid as usual mate. Are we going to see the Forrester in the background in a modified at all??
I've watched this so many times and it never gets old. Love your work.
You know his new instagram? The page in the video no longer exists 😔
The instagram account disappeared not long after this video came out. I’ve been searching for his new one but can’t find it anywhere! Have you had any luck?
Way more entertaining like the new vid style
Nice build. Is a Chevy but I like 18:30, chain saw bar length is 18 INCH, love that standard measurement system. Metric? What?
Awesome rig. I love how he did everything himself. What is the weight of this thing stock? He said he hadn't weighed it since it was modified, but whats the stock weight?
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.

You mean the less than 5% of drivers...That's why we no longer have most of the manual trans anymore--so few bought them.
@@freedomrider266 Got to be a great business opportunity for someone there I reckon for SAS conversions and Rear Coil Conversions
You need to get a sas'd pk Ranger now!
Theyre some really clean rigs
Been looking for a isuzu KB300 4x4 (South africa) modified. Thanks mate just what i was looking for. Btw. our isuzus come standard rear diff lock 4x4 and 2x4.
A damn tidy looking and well set up rig this one 🤙
I would love to do the same thing with an older Isuzu.. because we don't get the Colorado in my country
Hi Ronny the chapter titles need to be swapped the under the bonnet bit is all about suspension
Oops
Ronny - are you going to do a knew Modified w ASPW?
He's just finished up his stretched DC79LC camper and painted it a Land Rover color 🤢
He's right there in Perth too
