I enjoy watching these vids more than than the big name 4wd videos. Simply because of how they are recorded and not staged or set up. Keep up the good work buddy. Look forward to seeing more!!
Hey Ronny! I reckon you should do an episode on a Ford Ranger when you come across one since they are very similar to the BT-50 like you have already done but have some different things to do. Cheers!
Hi Ronny! Very interesting points that can be adapted to any car, though at this point in time my concern is a Navara ST-X that I would like to prepare for trips and be able to survive and get out of the Sh**! As I have had a request earlier about electrics in an other fantastic 4X4 feature, now I have similar one but how to DIY power points for the fridge and other accessories, connecting another battery and have both "talking" to each other via a charger, etc. Perhaps I am asking to much, but there is so much for me to learn (newby) and I found that you have good ideas to learn from. No flattery.
Hey man what is the model of the turbo gauge and how is the install is it easy ect, I have a 2008 Holden rodeo diesel will it work on that and are they worth it cheers
Hi Karel, I'm wondering how the standard diff ratios coped with the bigger rubber - did you have to change the ratios and if not, how do you go out on the highway, especially when you're towing? Cheers mate.
I use bridle between two points on the bull bar. This was given the go ahead by arb when I had it fitted and hasn't posed a problem. I dont think it comes with a rated recovery point stock at the front
Just watched this video which I say is one of many great vids. Just a correction on the Rodeo being the last of the under bonnet Isuzu engines - thats not actually correct. There was some form of falling out with Isuzu over the name "Rodeo" that lead to the Colorodo version of the rodeo, however; the Colorado 2009 - 2012 from memory was actually a re-badged Isuzu D-MAX as was the rodeo to a degree. Holden then choose for what ever reason to go to a new model Colorado which was GMH and broke the bond between GMH and Isuzu.
I have a 2008 rodeo it’s identical to my brothers 2010 dmax same interior trim and front end engine ect.colorodo has different trim and front end lights and rear lights after the blue between Isuzu and Holden.the rodeo is a dmax more than a Colorado that’s a given..........
Hey Ronnie I'd like to know what air locker he has in the front. Is it an ARB one? Because I thought that with ARB you have to get the rear locker before the front. At least thats what my ARB dealer tells me.
Yes exactly Ronnie. I wanna keep my rear LSD and only get a front locker. Or do you think I should just go for the rear? My thinking was that since the front IFS on my truck lifts wheels more frequently the locker would help more there. Plus the weight of the engine.
@@karelvangeyzel6767 cool hanks for the reply. I'm running 265 75 16 on 16/8 as the shop wouldn't fit them on 16/7 factory alloys. Do you happen to know what offset your rims are. The factory alloys are +42 I'm currently on Zorro offset have read on Isuzu nation that +22 or +23 is the go for least rub. I have heated and really shaped my inner guards but still get rub at tight turn on uneven ground, with 3 inch suspension lift. Did you run a diff drop?
Ronny Dahl Just saying Holden still used isuzu engines after their split with them. They didnt make their own. Because in the video it said it was the last Holden with a isuzu motor and that they made their own after which isnt true. The only difference between the 07 rodeo and a 08-12 RC Colorado is the name and different body work from the A pillar forward. Sorry if i sound like a smart arse.
Ronny Dahl holden changed from rodeos to colorados in 2008 ( colorado was released in july i think). Isuzu then released the dmax with the Rodeo styling. I have a 09 colorado and the isuzu engine is also what sold it. keep up the good work. Hope to see heap more modified vids in the future.
Ronny, I live in Virginia, US. With all the freedoms we have, and all the wanking ( is that the correct term .....?) I hear from my contemporary's (different political system though) I feel like even though you have so many more restrictions like limiting the lift on your 4WD you make due and enjoys life as well as any. Have you been to the US and if not do you ever plan on coming over to run places like the Rubicon or Moab? It would be really interesting to get your perspective of US / AUS
I recently converted my Pontiac G8 into an HSV GTS E1....I plan on buying a 2016 Chevy Colorado next with 2.8 duramax Z71. I love Australia and would love to live there, but unfortunately the gun laws are really strict...so America will do lol.
St. Vick I know your comment is 2 years old, but, if you don’t want to move because of the gun laws, maybe move when you retire. Australia has tons of coasts and all and is a nice place, the best coasts are probably in Queensland and New South Wales. Also, that’s really cool what you did to the G8.
yeah Chevy Colorado but the upgraded one was just Holden Colorado the only thing they changed in the Colorado i think was front end and taillights better seats i think it was a lil bit bigger too
Triple259772 there is no american counterpart, the holden and chevy colarados are a lot different, chassis, engine, dimensions and lots more things are different
Have you been to America and seen their trucks, they are huge!! And the Chevy Colorado is I think from memory is a little smaller than the Chevy Avalanche? Anyways heaps bugger than our ra rodeos 😪
"So... yeah... cool... um..." Keep at it, Ronnie. Your speech needs some work mate. Maybe do a couple takes? Your on camera charisma needs work. But it's all about improvement. Chuck a smile in there, too. Just a couple suggestions. Thanks again for your efforts, enjoy the vehicles. Oh, didnt want to sound like a smart-alec. Good on ya for doing what you do. You've given us a lot of great footage. Greatfull. Thanks again.
Fair enough... I understand what you are saying... Just keep in mind with these walk around vehicles it's all done on the fly to keep it genuine and relaxed, last thing I want to do is be a fake TV personality (over the top smiling which is so salesman like). However I do agree with what you are saying on a milder aspect which I assume is what you mean... I'm learning as I'm going and will improve each time, that's my aim anyways... Cheers for the feedback mate :)
***** That's it? A mum joke? Do you crush your emptys on your forehead, too? I'm only frustrated because it's sad little consuming vacuums like you who make society difficult to live in. You offer nothing to society but your stupidity and consumption of resources. And the really sad part is you're honestly just too damned stupid to see it. Go and do some volunteer work or something. It'll wake you up.
Exactly. GM Japan is Isuzu they are rebadged with several names. As I said. But they may have a Holden V6, if it's rodeo you won't find a alloytech 3.6 in a D-Max. Yes it's all GM.
@@hadrianhaine5204 All Isuzu gear as Gary said. Rodeo and Colorado ran GM Delphi ECU and last series Rodeo ran GM 3.6 Alloytec. RG Collie runs Eaton fuller driveline but rest is all Isuzu. Even the Duramax V8 is Isuzu lol.
@@mjhmech4903 I'm not saying its not Isuzu I'm saying Isuzu is GM and is not just really badges as a Holden as GM is a master of manufacturing and badge engineering. You could understand the 8ps buy a Opel made in at least 3 differ countries with at least 4 different manufacturers badges on it weather made in Germany Korea or Japan.

thanks Chopper1392 our intentions are to make these videos relaxed and real...
Another Great Job man! I really like the mix of talking about the rig, but also the vid clips showing the off-road practicality.
Thanks Eric
Love this car and the hands on approach. The front camera is 👍.
These Rodeos and The Isuzu dmax that I have of the same era are great first 4wds for people wanting to start 4wdriving.
What an amazing video
I love the idea of the front camera. I feel pretty good now that I installed front and rear camera on my 2013 D40 Navara.... 😊
love the shape of the old rodeo and d-max. seriously contemplating one of these or a prado 120
woosa puss go rodeo, unless you have money to burn go Colorado best cars man
That's a simple, solid touring rig right there.
Awesome love the baby seats!
Awesome rig! Very interested in the front and rear cameras set up! Might have to have a look into it more and get them installed in my fj cruiser :)
I've got an 07 deo, it's awesome front lokka, lift, diff drop ect, goes anyware and causes lots of looks of amazement, they are a very underrated 4x4.
I have a 1996 tf rodeo and I was wondering where to get a front diff locker from?

Hey Ronny! I reckon you should do an episode on a Ford Ranger when you come across one since they are very similar to the BT-50 like you have already done but have some different things to do. Cheers!

I have some big plans for my 79 LC DC with electrical, once that's finished I will cover it but can't promise how detailed it will be...
Really cool rig. looks like hes got everything he needs. i want a lightbar like that.
Light bars are great and are very low in price now days compared to a year or two ago, best useful light for short range and slow driving in the bush.
Thanks Ronny for help, Karel just wanting to know how you find that canopy, has it had any problems where you would or wouldn't recommend it?
My Rodeo is the same model and have had the same issue with the front wheel bearings and have found they are super low as said
Cool vid thanks for sharing mate
Hey mate just wondering where did you get the bull bar from and how much?
Hey man what is the model of the turbo gauge and how is the install is it easy ect, I have a 2008 Holden rodeo diesel will it work on that and are they worth it cheers
Um ive got a 2011 rc with the 4jji Isuzu motor lol just saying
G'day Ronny
What front recovery points are fitted?
What do you use for front recovery points.
Are RA to weak for them..
Only found one after market ones.
Come with all these extra braves,
Where's ur local track / beach wouldn't mind trying to keep up with a 79 got a 105 keen to find some new places 👍
Good stuff
Hi Ronny. Do you have a mod vid on a RC Colorado?
Sick intro music!
what is the music at the start called
can we see some more rodeos and rangers or maybe a BT-50 cheers
Check out @dystopian_zu
What rims are they
Hi Karel, I'm wondering how the standard diff ratios coped with the bigger rubber - did you have to change the ratios and if not, how do you go out on the highway, especially when you're towing? Cheers mate.
Hi
I didn't have to change the ratios and have not had any trouble towing.
Karel van Geyzel just watched the video and wondering what front recovery points you have? I have the same model and love it
I use bridle between two points on the bull bar. This was given the go ahead by arb when I had it fitted and hasn't posed a problem. I dont think it comes with a rated recovery point stock at the front
Karel van Geyzel ok. Yeah trying to get a solid recovery point is one of the issues! Love the truck though
would strongly reccommend the fitting of manual locking hubs for the RA Rodeos.
+Mitchell Parkes why?
+PissaNatrol48 less wear on cvs and improves fuel enonomy
Mitchell Parkes thanks

I have a 2007 Rodeo and my mate has a 2011 Colorado and they are the same car motor and interior wise
Hey Ronnie I'd like to know what air locker he has in the front. Is it an ARB one? Because I thought that with ARB you have to get the rear locker before the front. At least thats what my ARB dealer tells me.
yes it is mate, ARB front locker. He has had it for quite a while. Are you having trouble getting a front one without a having to get a rear as well?
Yes exactly Ronnie. I wanna keep my rear LSD and only get a front locker. Or do you think I should just go for the rear? My thinking was that since the front IFS on my truck lifts wheels more frequently the locker would help more there. Plus the weight of the engine.
What offset were the wheels with the 32"s Tyree's please? Having trouble getting the right rims for my ra
Rims 16x7. Tyres 265/75R16. Had to do some light panel work on the front wheel arch to avoid rubbing on tight turns over bumps
@@karelvangeyzel6767 cool hanks for the reply. I'm running 265 75 16 on 16/8 as the shop wouldn't fit them on 16/7 factory alloys. Do you happen to know what offset your rims are.

how do I get involved in the 4x4 trips you lads go on?
+ben davis send me an email via the contact page at www.4-wheeling-in-western-australia.com/contact.html
Great vid guy. Just let you know the RA07, Colorado RC 08-12 and dmax all have the same diesel Isuzu 4JJ1 engines
Thanks for that info, I guess that's why the rodeo didn't have them after that and they changed to the Colorado or am I missing something else here?

Not at all mate was interest in what you were saying, thanks for clearing that up :)
I don't know too much about the rodeo, so was 2007 the last rodeo (as they changed to Colorado) or did they still make the rodeo for a few years?
Ronny Dahl holden changed from rodeos to colorados in 2008 ( colorado was released in july i think). Isuzu then released the dmax with the Rodeo styling. I have a 09 colorado and the isuzu engine is also what sold it.
keep up the good work. Hope to see heap more modified vids in the future.
Great 4x4 mate what brand of canopy?
Cheap thailand canopy. Some plastic components broke through multiple corrugations. Design is good though. Brand name Flake
Hi Ronnie just wanting to know what brand of canopy is on the rodeo thanks in advance Chris
+Chris Johnson not sure mate will see if +Karel van Geyzel can help you with this one
+Chris Johnson been told by the man himself its a "Flake" canopy Thailand brand supplied by sports range 4x4 in AUS
Carryboy canopy

Ronny Dahl nice rodeo could we see a Pajero modified? would be a great car to review
Is open to all locals so if someone contacts me with a Pajero we will cover it ;)
Isuzu Dmax in Costa Rica... lml
What is the American counter part of this truck? Chevy Colorado?
