Ultimate Dual Cab Ute Camping Setup! 2009 Holden RC Colorado Rig Rundown

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Today we're taking a look at this 2009 Holden Colorado RC that's been transformed into the ultimate camping and touring machine by my good mate, James. This setup really goes to show that you don't need to spend thousands on a custom canopy to build a full camping fit-out!
Huge thanks to James for letting us take a look through his beast. 🙂

    I've still got my tub with a steel topper on top. Ended up being the same price as one of those really cheap and nasty trailer/canopy setups but I wouldn't want them. Best part is being able to use the magnet stubbie holders (there's a hint...) and weather proof!! Wish I had a roof top tent though.

    Great video. I've got a 2011 Isuzu DMax - same shape (last shape in this generation). Like you guys, I only have a tub on the back and greatly inspired to do something similar with my vehicle - but I prob wont sleep on top. I have a 160w solar panel ready to go with a car fridge etc - in which I'll use the back in a similar way. I want to get similar wheel hubs and push the tyres outwards a little and do a body lift (already have springs on the back which do a 2" lift). Keep up the good work. Neil.

    Great set up. What spacing did you use with your roof rack, for mounting your tent. Garages are 2.4 what is the closed hight of your tent to get into a garage. 👍

    ive got a pj ranger i,ve had since new and enjoy seeing guys using your utes couple of questions , where did you guys get your ranger re mapped and how much was it? do you get any problems with it and recommend it? ive noticed that you both have fridges with protruding handles ,theyre held on by a couple of bolts either handle , if you remove the handles you can cut a steel plate with a couple of holes in it using the same footprint of the handles, sandwich a leather strap to replace the protruding handles and you will gain about 70 mm in storage space

    Hi Ross, I had it remapped by Reaper Performance Diesel here in Perth, it cost around $1250 and they did a fantastic job. Power was up from 105hp to 160hp and torque up from 320nm to 420nm (engine completely stock otherwise). Economy also improved, going from around 12.5L/100km to 11L/100. Great idea regarding the fridge handles, thanks for that!

    Could you please ask james a few questions for me? I have the same Colorado. -Do you have a re-occurring squeak coming from the front hub? (Not wheel bearings) -Also with bigger tyres did you have to modify the cassis where the body mounts too behind the front wheel for clearance?

    Idk if you ever resolved this mate but I've had an RC and a gen 1 dmax, both have had the small retaining clips in the brakes shift slightly and contact the rotor. It's quite common, that'd be worth checking

    Old vid, so doubt I'll get a reply, but how did the fridge go in the hard lid? I'm looking at a similar setup, but a bit iffy on the lack of air circulation running a fridge in an enclosed space
