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.

He did mate

most awkward conversation I've seen

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

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

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

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

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 !

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 :)

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

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

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!!!

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

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.

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

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

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

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!

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)

Great vids mate, keep em up!

Great episode! loved it!

Another great vid man😊

You have come a long way since then Ronny

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.

A beast! Love it!

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

Love the paint job.

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

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

once again top vid Ronny

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

Properly enjoyed this video

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

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

اخوي عبدالله متابع دائم لهالقناة اثاريك مثلي صراحه رحلاتهم توسع الصدر

what new rules were they talking about when comes to the light part

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..

That is a nice ride.

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

love the roof light.

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!

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 :)

Very neat truck

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!

I love this truck

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!!

Hi Ronny, Great videos. I’ve learned a ton from them. Here in the States we have an SUV version of the Navarra called the Xterra. Two generations, just like the Navarra. I love my Xterra. Great off-road vehicle here in the land of jeeps. I love seeing the trucks you have in Australia that we don’t have in the States like the Patrol, the Hilux and the Holdens. Maybe your Australian fans would like to see some vehicles we have here that you don’t get in Australia. Here’s a taste kzread.info/dash/bejne/oqejzNhsabO_YbQ.html Mike

Do you need to get these tyres and lift kit engineered to be legal?

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.

@Ronny_Dahl

9 жыл бұрын

Shane, with IFS vehicles you can only lift them so high before you put too much stress on the CV's as the angles will be very high, this is where a body lift can help get a bit more clearance for bigger Tyres and general ground clearance to help prevent body damage.

Shane Faust Body lift is not really done to many solid axle vehicles like Jeep wrangler, Toyota 70 series or nissan patrols. You will see it more on the Toyota Hilux, Nissan Navara and other IFS (independent front suspension) vehicles

where can we purchase the diff lock ? u have a link ?

Mine blows a ton of black smoke if i rev it hard. It's only done 60.000 Km. What could be the cause?

Is that preston beach? looks familiar?

anyone know of roof racks like his you can buy for a 2006 d22, model has no rails at all?

the nissan D22 it sold car run forever

MrGee13133 yeah was he just told me about that...

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.

Where can I find the bumper without the bull bar?

Nice unit, gives me some ideas for mine.

What exhaust does he have

Good.

Is this the same as a nissan frontier sold in America except y'all's are diesel?

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 😂

anyone know what location this is? cheers
