Love it! Great video. What is your suspension setup and tire size?
Just what to needed to see--and great advice regarding insulation
Can you do this on a 07 2wd?
Only if it has torsion bars
Have u done the rear or no
What all did you do to make it fit? Im planning on manual swapping and 5.3 swapping my 91, i have another 91 parts 4runner thats a 5spd, planning to get a GM style bellhousing for that then just drop a 5.3 in it, from my measurements it should fit with electric fans. Did you have to do any changes to the radiator? Or did the 5.3 fit without modifying all that?
that is a great idea!!!
Hey how’s the omnipro holding up?are you still using it as your main welder? it’s been 3 years since the video came out wondering how it’s doing. I have the same welder got it 5-6 years ago it has been an excellent welder for my small shop.
Not sure if you’ll respond but I’m plunging into a rabbit hole here. I picked up the same unit for my Mustang and I’m confused if this needs to be installed on the top of the tank or if it doesn’t mayger
My printer can’t wait for this 😊😊
What was your strategy for cleaning the metal handles and racks? My project has grime on them and debating between bar keepers friend stainless steel or some other product? Great video!
Great sons one way to honor your dad ! God bless
I have a 70 240z and the algorithm brought you into my life….you inspire me to go wrench on mine!
Bend a hook on the end of your TIG wire. Makes it easy to hook on something when not in use, and prevents poking someone in the eye. Glad to hear something good came out of COVID (no smelling gear lube), gear lube is the worse smell.
Excellent Video!! I would recommend brush on contact cement vs spray on.
Looks good
What’re the fox shock part numbers front and rear
I am curious, if you know if this can be done with a 2 wheel drive. I know that the suspension (springs) are different, at least
If it has torsion bars up front then yes. If it has coils up front, then no
@@WrenchChill it has coils
Shouldve used coolergasket profile 365... i might have a door for your freezer
@leahcim38 I've been ooking for a freezer door for my vintage GE refrigerator. If you still have it, would you be willing to sell it?
@@JustPlaneNutzRC yeah it's up on ebay. GE vintage freezer door from seacoastheatac
@@leahcim38 Thanks, I just checked out your listing. Unfortunately, the dimensions of your door is larger than the opening on my freezer. It's a shame, I would have purchased it in a heartbeat if it was the right size. The door is in perfect condition.
@@JustPlaneNutzRCThat's why I put the Numbers and so people can check. Keep an eye out for old relays.
“Did I get any stickers…” 😂
How much would you charge if I wanted you to do that to my truck? Or do you have any recommendations on what shop could do it?
The gurling sound is normal u are hearing the refrigerant running in the system
I have the exact same truck, color and all!
@Wrench & Chill Why not use a 2011+ that already has the e-locker?
I needed it to be the 8x6.5 lug pattern
@@WrenchChill 10-4
Now worth 20
Nice, when are you guys going to do this on my Colorado? Lol
What did that cost ya brother
Nice what type of drill bit was that ? That was use to remove the Brackets from the engine bay
Where is the freezer door? I wouldn't put the time and effort into fixing that fridge without it's freezer door.
I installed a Suzuki wagonr (England) eps on my 510
That's not a beam its a column. Beams run horizontal, columns stand vertical. Its so annoying when beam cut columns and they don't know that they are doing(Cutting structural members without the proper know how...this how people get killed or injured). I am an engineer, been in the business over 30 years, trust me I have seen some crazy things people do. You guys did a great job. I am glad you fixed it. Awesome job guys. Well done...from South Africa
Gotta oil your work boots, girrl! They will stay more waterproof, and will take much longer to wear out. And thanks for the tip on keens! I’ve never bought women’s boots before, on account o’ I can never find anything suitable. The toe box is always shaped like a damn high heal or something lol. But this time around I can’t find anything small enough in men’s 😔. Got high hopes for these!
wow...Amazing spot...
I have seen worse. You have done a great job. I take inspiration from you guys for getting it done...Thank you for sharing from South Africa
Next time you do brake lines, don't do stainless, they crack too easily. You really want Ni-Cop which is nickel copper.
Loving all of your videos. Been binge watching them all... love the interaction between you guys, the skills you guys display, the editing is awesome. You both could honestly have your own tv show, cmon @davidfreiberger get these guys noticed lol... hope you guys keep making videos. And honestly I hope you make more vids of your home renos as well.. thank you guys for making such great videos.
The 2005 Chevy Colorado is beautiful, but Lena's eyes are even more beautiful. Beautiful Border Collie. Nick and Autum share an excellent job with us again. Greetings, Rob.
👍👍👍
Did you use an adhesive when replacing the gasket? My husband and I are replacing the one on my great grandmothers’ fridge and this is where we are stuck. Hers was rotted and we can’t figure out how it was done.
Can you use the oem Colorado brakes? So 15in wheels can clear? Or with these mods you have to run the h3 rotor?
Very Nice! how much money you took on parts?
Love it We all need Our Sidekick "hero"
great job saving that refrigerator thank you for the video.
Do you guys have day jobs?
I know this is an older video, but would this conversion use an h3 lift kit if I decided to go taller after?
Yes but your chances of finding one of the 4" lifts for an H3 are slim since they don't make them anymore
Would a 06 H3 work on a 2010 Chevy Colorado?
Great video for the swap and instructions! what would you say the total cost of the project was?
Does this truck have a body lift?
No it doesn't
How did you fit those wheels aren’t the centre bore smaller or where they the same
Thanks for the informative content. We did reach out to you several times for inquiring a product. But never heard back from you guys. Are our emails stuck in your spam folder or that’s something you are not interested.
Can you fit the hummer caliper on these trucks with out doing a different rim size of doing a hummer suspension conversion
