Hi Nic love your vids. Am looking at an MUX in the next few days. I used to run a rally car years ago, we used to cut a jubilee clamp (hose clamp) and run a self tapper screw into the back of our lights and back into the grille somewhere. This stopped the lights shuddering, also gave a bit of adjustment, worked well,cheers
Been following you for ages now, I brought a 2019 model, and you inspired me to diy on a few things like you have done. Except I am not mechanically minded so I have had abit of help on rhino rack install, arb summit bar etc, The rack is practical as f...,and looks awesome. I got up the courage to install a catch can myself. Can't thank you enough for your videos, f...ing inspiration mate, love ya man.
Always great content & feedback. Nice to hear your thoughts on everything 👍 Mmmm..... That ECU mod is very enticing I must say....I guess I just worry about warranty.... Maybe I'll get over that ! 😉
Great review Nick. I just picked up my 2019 MU-X this weekend. I would say that your channel really was a huge factor in me looking seriously at the Isuzu over a second hand Prado. I am really enjoying it so far and have subscribed so I can perhaps accomplish some of your mods down the track. Quick question and sorry If it is in a video I have not discovered yet. Did you do anything to your exhaust or is it stock standard? Is there a reason to consider an aftermarket exhaust on the MU-X in your opinion? Thanks mate and keep up the great content. I love your channel.
Thanks alot 😊 Great choice getting an Mu-x. My exhaust is stock standard. You won't see much gain fitting an exhaust to the DPF models. No real gain in sound and very minimum performance gain if anything. 😊
Great car mate......I'm looking at an LSM ..... your issue with the spotties vibrating....as an Engineer I would suggest it's more likely the light brackets themselves or light housing as opposed to the Bullbar causing the issue.....but you'll work it out I'm sure......have you looked at the Maxxis range of tyres in particular the RAZR AT811...great set up in the rear with the fridge etc......perfect
Hi Nick great videos … keep them coming 👍… my only comment would be to buy yourself a wireless clip on lapel mic for better audio. Unfortunately camera mikes dont cut it. Have a look at Rode Microphones … great Australian product
you've sold me buddy.. i didn't want the dmax to tow my 2.5 ton caravan.. the dmux will suffice.. interesting about the extra power. ive heard there will be a power kit coming out 2021
From what I have heard if they are temporarily removed then there is no need to get it mod plated. But I have also heard of people getting booked for not having the seat removal plated. I havnt had the vehicle plated because if I ever sell the vehicle I will be re fitting the seats more than likely.
yep. I've done lots of research. wildpeak at3w 265/65/18 is going on once I get through the factory ones. Stock rims. I'd like to upgrade them, but they'll be fine. Apparently they are good on everything including snow!!
@@WhyWouldYouDrawThat i had hankook rf10's on for 90k which included a fair bit of offroad/gravel including the cape. But they were pretty sketchy at the end, but they were great tyres. The wildpeaks are about the same with slightly more agressive sidewalls and feel good in the wet.
Looks great Nick, glad I found your review. I've been looking for a full bumper replacement steel bar for my 2014 MU-x ( I currently have the factory alloy bar) . I did notice the lack of space for the round spotlights, as I have a set of Stedi type X pro lights. I like the AFN bar but I'll have to find something with more room out front. Cheers.
I have also isuzu mux 4wd,tell me one thing I have company fitted tyres 255/60/r18 bristone duler HT but I want to change my tyres profile 275/60/r18 (Yokohama geolander AT),what is your opinion about pickup, mileage, bouncy ride on highway (because of tyre upsize),tyre road noise, after tyres size upgrade.
Have you considered light stays for the 9" spotties? So this would run a brace from the top of the lights to the top tube on the bar. Just a thought. Also Toyo RT's are running a treat on my DMAX, might be worth a look. Great vid bro.
Nice video. Mux is looking good. I recommend an OCAM roof rack (flat option) and Supa Peg lite awning. You can fit both for under a grand! We did this and love it.
love ur videos sir👍 i also own a isuzu mux and just by watching ur videos,i learn a lof things👍thanks... btw, newbie here all the way from philippines😊 subcribed done😉
nice set of rims sir! I also changed mine to fuel shok with fuel tires 265 70 17. Im curious how did you fit that full size spare at the back. thank you so much! more power
You have built a nice truck there Nick 👌 I was going to ask if lockers are on the ‘ to do’ list but I see someone else asked the same q...from what I can gather the TC on the MUx is average at best and most turn it off when 4wding
Great review mate! Nice to see you using some of the budget hacks and options (eg:Dominator winch), always good to save where you can. Any chance you’ll be getting the new Jimny as your next vehicle?
Very nice MUX! I will have to come up for the ECU mod one day soon. I’ve got RidePro Rox Shocks in mine and they are mega stiff as well. Factory was comfortable as hell but way too boaty. Did your tyres touch the mud flaps at full steering lock? Mine do every so slightly. I’m glad I chose the Lightforce Striker spotties then. They are super compact. I’m zee_mux on Insta. Anyway sick MUX Nick! Good video as always. 🤙🏻
Cheers Alex! Yeah the tyres did just touch on the mudflaps so i just ziptied them back a few cm and they clear perfectly now 😊 The tune definately makes it a totally different car to drive 😀 Just added you on the gram!
Just discovered your channel. Great vid btw! A couple of questions. Is it a straightforward (and legal) swap out from the 18” rims on the LS-U to 17” diameter wheels? And also, have you seen any of the issues yourself regarding cracks in the chassis near the compliance plate on some mux’s, especially those fitted with a bullbar? I’m not sure if that was just on the earlier models or the MY17+ as well. Thanks
Hi Nick, Love your videos and I'd also like to ssay your Mux is nice. I got a standard Mux top of the range Lst. Also I got hwy terrain tyres, I'd like to go up to glass house mountain as i live only 40 minutes away, should i get all terrain tyres before doing it??
That's Awesome! Don't let your tyres stop you from going out there and having some fun! I've taken my mu-x out there with stock tyres and still had a blast. There is so many tracks out there you can really pick your adventure.
I'm waiting until I ware these ones down a little bit more and grabbing all terrain tyres. I'll try Glass house mountain soon as i can't wait to check it out. As I came up for the first time from Woolongong region South of Sydney I always promised myself I'll need to go. I miss the Gong though loving QLD so much also now. Living north of Brisbane now
Hi Nick Thanks for your review, and videos on what you have done to your truck. I was wondering what your thoughts are on the MUX overall as a car, aside from your mods, as unlike 98% of users of this car, you take the car offroad. I have the exact same car as yours and brought it at the same time, but ours is used as a shopping trolley, and tug for our caravan. Cheers Phill, and keep posting
@@LowRangeNick So no issues with the car whatsoever, good to know, so many people ask me about our one, and we could not be happier as well, I will refer them to your channel. Phill
Thanks for the tour. Quick question. What are your thoughts on swapping out your front hub to a manual hub operation?. Have noticed a few 4x4 owners with IFS are doing this just in case the front CV is damaged whilst 4wding, giving them the chance to at least drive home without binding up the front housing etc. I believe you can still operate your rear wheels in low range if required. Hear from you soon. Cheers.
Hi Nick I am really enjoying your channel. I was interested in the afn bar but not so sure now, was the flex coming from the top of the bar were the spotties mount? rgds Peter
Nice rig bro. Gone one exactly same colour! Why don't you try mounting the spotties on neoprene or firm rubber to take out some of the shake over bumps? Just a thought. Cheers Jarra.
Hey Jarra, they come with 2 pieces of rubber to mount on either side of the bar to try and help with vibrations but it did nothing. I've gone to a light bar now and because it is alot lighter and more slim line it doesn't vibrate or shake at all 🎉
Do you have any performance tunes etc? When you say 'gone', what was happening? We have a 2018 model - from the end of the run. Fine so far. 20K. Also, do you let it cool after running it hard? I typically do 1m before shut off for local easy driving. And up to around 5mins if e.g. I've just driven up a mountain. We also change the oil every 7500ks. This helps as the turbo shares the same oil.
@@gregmilthorpe5459 It is a common issue for dpf model 2017-on mu-x and d-max. They had a faulty batch of turbos. The turbo will make a loud siren type noise when boosting, this indicates the bearing is noisy and it will need replacing. I would say if your vehicle has not had any issues in over 50k with turbo noises or boost issues then your turbo will be fine and you didnt get one out of the bad batch.
@@LowRangeNick Thanks Nick, mine is compliance plate 5/17. I like your side steps, and how they are mounted, does the powder coated top plate scratch when stepping on it all the time? compared to alloy checker plate top ? I use a rear Harrops E locker, very happy with it, it came with a switch that you have to slide then push to engage, prevents it being accidentally bumped on. Like your posts on tracks around South East QLD, keep them coming, Cheers.
@@LowRangeNick So would I.. just finding a kit for an IFS vehicle is kinda hard. What is your long term review of the portals on the Land Cruiser? How do they handle tarmac, high speed on dirt roads, etc.?
I looked at it. The tow bar makes it harder. There is a bar at the back I can bend, but only so far as it will start hitting suspension components. Worst case you can put it on the roof rack or fit a rear bar.
I think $2000 for an ecu controller is too much. I'd rather spend $500 on an auto lokka for the front. Best tyres for the buck are the Hankook Dynapro MT. 4 years ago they cost me $250 each. They are quiet (for muddies especially), long lasting (I've got 80,000km on them so far) and they are good on road even in the wet.
Hi mate I'm after some info if you don't mind me asking. I use my 2016 mux for towing my caravan and I want to put a DP chip on just for the big hills here in the blue mountains and for overtaking on the long drags out West should I change the factory exhaust system to 2and quarter inch cause people say they 3"is to big for the turbo and that I'll end up having my turbo over boost .they tell me the 3"is fine in the big v8 cruisers but not for the 3 ltrs mux .any info you got would help I'm a bit lost with it all .help🤔
You will see very minimal gains if any from fitting an upgraded exhaust system. If you want the extra noise then go for it, performance wise there isn't much power gain fitting an exhaust. Don't fit a DP chip. They are just a rail chip and cannot be tuned precisely, they can cause majour issues. Get an Ecu=shop super 4 or ultra boost. You will get great performance gains and still keep the engines longevity.
@@LowRangeNick Changed from the UniChip Q4 - can you give us some comparison or reasons why you have now gone for the Super touch? Thanks mate, great information in your channel.
You can go up 50mm in diameter from the biggest stock diameter (could be from a different model to yours). To work it out, Google "tyre calculator". Then enter your stock specs and change it to mm. Once you have this, try out other options you're keen on. You need to keep the extra under 50mm. As Nick says, 32" are the biggest allowed for an Isuzu Mux. I believe you can go bigger, but you have to pay big $$$ for engineering and certification. Btw, the Australian specs specifically say this doesn't apply to "soft roaders". The max increase for them is 18mm. This made me lol. Gotta love Australia.
This is my dream rig, I'm jealous and wish isuzu would come back the States
Hi Nic love your vids. Am looking at an MUX in the next few days.

Hey mate how much was the tune and throttle controller ? TIA
Where did you buy the fox beam lights for the bar?
Hi nick do you think the 275/70/R17 will fit in the mu-x spare wheel well .
It may just fit if you run no air in it or low air pressure and pull it towards the back of the towbar.
Mine does
I looked at it. The tow bar makes it harder. There is a bar at the back I can bend, but only so far as it will start hitting suspension components. Worst case you can put it on the roof rack or fit a rear bar.
I think $2000 for an ecu controller is too much.
I'd rather spend $500 on an auto lokka for the front.
Best tyres for the buck are the Hankook Dynapro MT. 4 years ago they cost me $250 each. They are quiet (for muddies especially), long lasting (I've got 80,000km on them so far) and they are good on road even in the wet.

Are 285/70/17 illegal?
Yep
You can go up 50mm in diameter from the biggest stock diameter (could be from a different model to yours). To work it out, Google "tyre calculator". Then enter your stock specs and change it to mm. Once you have this, try out other options you're keen on. You need to keep the extra under 50mm. As Nick says, 32" are the biggest allowed for an Isuzu Mux. I believe you can go bigger, but you have to pay big $$$ for engineering and certification. Btw, the Australian specs specifically say this doesn't apply to "soft roaders". The max increase for them is 18mm. This made me lol. Gotta love Australia.
