I'm so stoked to see that you're keeping the crawlerado around. I've been building and wheeling my 2008 Canyon and it brings me an unreasonable amount of joy to see you join the #355nation with possibly the most badass 355 in existence. We passed by each other at Hot Springs last month but you were in the bomber. Hopefully one day I'll see ya with the crawlerado on the trails!
Really wish there was more build on this. The couple short videos over on motor trend and the extras for your channel left me wanting more. I could see building a rig like this to go out into the Mountains here in western Montana to do some prospecting.
What I liked most of the footage from the UA ride was that all the trucks that I say were older homemade rigs and not a brand new Jeep with a lift kit tires and a winch or a brand new Ford Bronco with the same package done to it oh and I almost forgot new bumpers and maybe some rock sliders and some skid plates and lights everywhere all the rigs I saw were all different from the next and they were all probably built in someone's home garage or their backyard under the shade tree
If yall need another project I can lend you my xj for a while. It don't need much. Is Just an exocage, one tons, ls swap and true 4 link front and rear. Just throwing that out there lol. Ya'll living the good life man. Glad to see ya doing so well
That is a very nice looking rig. Even more impressive that it is close to the holy grail of tough off-roader and stable on the highway. It really looks like a great base for offroad camping all the way around...did I say it is nice looking 🙂
Im just jealous all these Colorados ending up on UA and my truck was one of the original axle swapped trucks lol 😂 maybe one of these years I’ll be able to get in now that I got my old Colorado back lol
You can weld short pieces of square tube to the four corners on the cab and then slide a smaller square tube into each corner pocket and lift on them, see Matt’s off-road recovery big wrecker…
Great to see this worked so well and was so stable. Can you explain how you choose your ride height on vehicles, specifically pros and cons of different up/down travel ratios?
Ian, just curious to know what broke inside the transmission and how it happen, is it up-gradable? If you decide to do a trans. tare-down it would good to do a follow up.
Hey love what your doing with the channel! I know you are spread thin with filming other shows, but where can i find the content to keep up with all your builds? Cheers from Canada.
Living in TN (I also do) do you ever go to windrock? I’ve went once in a rented sxs but I’d rather have a trail rig, so I’m asking what is your idea of a budget rig that works well there? It would also be a bonus if it could seat 4 or 5 people. Thanks
QUESTION: What is your general list of spare parts that you tale on Ultimate Adventure? I'm curious what kind of parts are typical... hubs, drive shafts, etc. Someday hopefully get my FJ40 picked! Thanks
So what was the real culprit of the engine/transmission locking up? Torque converter, something binding, starter area since you heard noice round starter area? You are the fab king. Been watching you since you were building with Jesse. The Scout 800 was my favorite since my first vehicle was a 1970 800A in 1987. 👍👍👍
@@BigTireGarage thank you I love the woods working on my jeep and off roading with my buddies and I have zero money or time to do any of it. Your content gives me a window into the life i love thanks again and keep up the spectacular content.
Just curious Ian, what was the total cost with the parts and labor for this project build, being the cab was $150? It was awesome with everything that you have on it. What was the area in the transmission that actually broke, was it in the throttle body, being the engine wasn’t seized up? Awesome job with the suspension, not quite plain but simple!
Will you tell us what went wrong with the tranny before you drove down there and how you fixed it. Wish you had more vids, I want to watch on for every day you actually work on it.
@@Skagitrover Nope...just a part failure.....this engine and trans were in a truck together when I bought them....I knew I should of rebuilt it myself....but figured since it was "known good" it would be fine....but nope
Ian, i've been watching as most people have since xtreme 4x4, Just re-watched your CNC video and I love your Fastcut table but it's way for my 24 x 30 garage, for a guy just self-learning to build, what small table would you recommend? I was thinking of a 4x4 table.. Keep up the wheelin' and look forward to your videos all the time.
I shared your method of welding the axles to the frame to set up your suspension in a FB M-715 group. Never set up a suspension before and am swapping in a 07' SD D60 with a WFO radius kit into my M-715, haven't figured out my ...alot but it's tacked in..kinda. you're happen by VA and want to make a video of subscribers M-715 .. could use the help.
I'm really curious how the trans failed. Being an automatic, the pump had to have locked up. That's the only thing I can think that would "lock up" the engine solid.
So that truck is sponsored - having missed days what happens do the sponsors just acknowledge breakage happens or do you owe them money, time or something?

Hope to as well my friend.....I think it I get some of those creature comforts pack into it....it will be great!!!
I am amazed you can do so much wrenching in such a small amount of time by yourself. Props!
Man I’m so excited for this years UA footage to drop! It’s all southeastern parks.
Really wish there was more build on this. The couple short videos over on motor trend and the extras for your channel left me wanting more. I could see building a rig like this to go out into the Mountains here in western Montana to do some prospecting.
I too have been wanting soo much more build content on the Crawlerado
Alwayz enjoy yor fab werkz & creations from back in da day... yo. Glad yor back on Motor Trend... Best Vibs

Keep the rado alive. I'm on year 15 with mine and finally building it the way I've dreamed. 40s and an aussie style canopy.
Cool build. Was a little surprised to see you go with the 4L60 when I saw the clips from over on MT's channel. Thanks for the content.

Love watching all the UA content! Sorry we couldn’t see more of your rig! Does your family ever wheel with you and if yes, what are their builds?
That's cool looking, Ian !!! I like it
can't wait for the red carpet to be rolled out for the Premiere!
If you ever decide to “flip it” I would love a shot at it. I have a year of planing and part purchases to build Colorado like that style.
thanks for sharing really enjoyed the video too bad you had a breakdown but glad you were able to get it going so quickly
Yeah it sucked...because the truck was working sooooo well
Great to see this worked so well and was so stable. Can you explain how you choose your ride height on vehicles, specifically pros and cons of different up/down travel ratios?

Sounds like the the front pump or t/conv.

My Question is instead of fenders , have you thought of moving the tool boxes out more? Give tire coverage and more working space between.
I have but I want them to stay tight with the cab....worst thing that could happen on the trail is getting it jammed into a tree when off camber

You going to do quick disconnects on heater and ac aswell?
Right now there is no heat or AC, but when I add it...yes I will have to

Total for this truck was just over 20K all in...I thinknit was the pump, I have not torn it down yet
Jonny joints only on the rear of the leaf? This intrigues me... more info on this? I'll get to the Googleing
Nailed it
Will you tell us what went wrong with the tranny before you drove down there and how you fixed it. Wish you had more vids, I want to watch on for every day you actually work on it.
Trans pump siezed
@@BigTireGarage not enough clearance?
@@Skagitrover Nope...just a part failure.....this engine and trans were in a truck together when I bought them....I knew I should of rebuilt it myself....but figured since it was "known good" it would be fine....but nope
Did that gladiator at 2:02 had the 4xe charging port 🤔
No it is an aftermarket add on that uses the 4xe port for on board air

Motor trend link? I want to see how this was built. I have a colorado zr2

👍👍 Always interesting!
Truck would look great with bobbed fiberglass bedsides.
Sucks that it broke on you but at least you were able to make it ack for the last day. What actually let go in the transmission???
I would fender from and back
So...in hindsight, is there anything you would do differently drivetrain-wise(engine/trans) if you were to go back and build the truck again?
4l80...and some small other changes that will be addressed in a future video
I'm really curious how the trans failed. Being an automatic, the pump had to have locked up. That's the only thing I can think that would "lock up" the engine solid.
Exactly...yeah from what I can tell without tearing it down....the pump vanes chewed into the housing locking it up
@@BigTireGarage That's a fairly rare failure from my experience. Was it a referb unit?
Converter might have taken out the thrust bearing in the engine. Need to measure crankshaft play.
Engine is fine that is an issue that used to happen with the 400THM behind early versions of the LS
So what broke?🤔🤔🤔
good video sorry about the trans. problem you just roll with the good and bad that life. thanks
Love it. Manche time? 🤓
Just kidding. Tough luck man take a day off
Working on the bomber right now.....but Manche after that
The "Colorado"... translation: the fully custom built rig.
My friend question okay air lockers or non air lockers. Budget minded not rock climbing. Thanks my friend
Your tough to try and get it fixed. The mods didn’t fail, just the GM stuff, go figure?
👍👍
Ugh gotta wait 7 hours
Yeah so annoying!
Perfect package may have a manual transmission instead. Lol
I should of went 4l80...but I can fix this one
👍🏽🇺🇸👍🏽
So that truck is sponsored - having missed days what happens do the sponsors
just acknowledge breakage happens or do you owe them money, time or something?
Sponsors know how the world of off road works...
I bet your oil pump took a junk you lost oil pressure
Based on the converter locking up...I believe it is the oil pump siezed
@@BigTireGarage got lucky on motor side the 6.0 prone oil pump going out
Premieres are DUMB =(
Tell the Algorythm
@@BigTireGarage Tell yourself, you have a choice.
@@NotaRobot_gif don't watch the free content then.
@@NotaRobot_gif what he says🖕
@@BigTireGarage I doubt this is Ian, but I'll bring it up to you the next time I see you. 🖕
Love the truck, I have an 07 4wd 5 cyl. What's in your's an LS?
Yeah I swapped in an LS because of the custom chassis
@@BigTireGarage Excellent, mine is a standard cab, and the 5 cyl. feels plenty powerful especially here on Maui, BUT that LS would be a kick.
what engine and trans do you have in the Colorado?
5.3 and 4L65
