- Hey Guys and Gals!
In this video I take the Isuzu MU-X out to Glasshouse Mountains to test out the gear on some rocky trails!
The MU-X is fitted with -
- 2 inch HD Outback Armour Lift Kit
- Fuel Vector Offroad Rims 17x8.5 positive 7.4mm offset
- Atturo Trailblade M/T's 265/70r17
- Safari Snorkel
- Unichip Tuning Module with 5 Map Select
- Idrive Throttle Controller
- Custom Rear drawer system
- Redarc Electronics
- GME Uhf
For these tracks i had the tyres dropped down to 16PSI and my traction control off. I also turned my Idrive off to reduce the throttle input back to the doughy standard map. I also selected low range 4wd and put it in manual mode gear 1 for the more technical sections.
Thanks alot for watching guys! If you enjoyed this video and would like to see more videos like this. Please like and Subscribe to my channel : )

Nice tidy looking rig, that performs...They are a great package..
Wow. What a beautiful Beast! Crazy performance.
Dope video bro..am hooked! Keep em coming!!!

Cheers guys :)
Been awaiting for some more action shots ☺
Great vid Nick 👍👍
Good to see the muxy out wheeling. Cheers Steve
Great video mate, nice to see the MU-X tackling some tricky spots with ease. Hope you have some more action videos coming up after the Easter break!
4:20 a good “nice” props from the missus!
Love it man. Such a capable machine.
The Muxy`s looking good mate. Seems to be handling the terrain with ease. Interesting that you turn the IDrive off. Good tip.
Those tyres r pretty gripy 👌🏻 car looks awesome tho 👍🏻
Was a great watch mate 💯
nice vid Lisa, u did a bit of walking.! no ya dont need a v8 ripping the track to shreds, nic an easy the way to go.cheers Nick and you 2 have a good Easter.;
Turned out pretty cool..
so cool. look so easy and simple to drive but they’re not though. great shot
Very good video
The MUX works well...! 👍😊
If you install difflock to it it will be a Monster .good deriving 👍
Yeah enjoyed that! I'm still keen to get one. 👌
I’m impressed with the Isuzu MU -X. Looking what it can do off road and with you have done ✅
Wow she goes good just one lock in the rear be perfect
Absolutely agree 😊👍
Another great vid Nick,we need more offroad mid size 4by vids as there doesn't seem to be enough.
Thanks alot 😊
love your mux nick I just got a dmax lookin forward to enjoying it
That's awesome! Congrats on getting the dmax!
Swabe
enjoyed..
Have you done a video on why you chose the MU-X over similar offerings like the Fortuner? Love that diesel clatter in a small SUV, unobtainium in the States
Hey there AM D i havnt done a video about why i chose the mu-x but i might have to ! 😋
Thanks for the video
Strong and tough
Good drive mate, only thing missing was my V8 patrol :P
GOOOOO ISUZU!!!
Almighty MUX. Any name for these tracks. Will visit these tracks when I go north. Thanks for sharing.
The main track is called ball bearing but this track loops around it. 😊
You should get number plate protectors dude, they are like 30 bucks at supercheap, just a suggestion. Love your content man, my old man is getting an Mux soon an LST model after he sells his dmax, so that would be cool to check out, he loves the Isuzu's I can see why.
Ys that?
@@prime0591 So he can keep his plates looking for fresh, and when he hits rocks and stuff the acrylic housing will protect them. But as I said it was just a suggestion I have them on my car and they are great.
Hazza ye but if ur going threw water u need to clean them out sometimes but they do stop rocks from flicking up and scratching up👌🏻
Enjoyed watching & hearing the MU-X do its thing.... Just out of curiosity - no diff drop or other mods with the OA 2" lift? Cheers.... Great vids, I'll have to watch more 👍🏻
Thanks alot! I havnt fitted a diff drop to it yet. I may in the future. It just has the outback armour 50mm lift all round 😊
@@LowRangeNick this is amazing Nick! great skills.
When you go off road do you usually turn off traction control off ?
dude love these videos. :) do you mind me asking what tracks you did?? i'd love to give them a crack in the D-max :)
Cheers man! These tracks were around the hill climb called Ball bearing, the loop i did in this video goes around it. :)
Nick did your steps scrape at all mate??
Hi Nick. I love your video's and admire your mechanical abilities, however just a suggestion. Please let us know your driving set up when tackling rock climbs etc. By that I mean whether you are using high range or low range, what is your gear selection, are you using diff lock.
Thanks alot MrBlurbman :) All your questions will be answered by reading the video description. I haven't fitted a diff lock to the mu-x and they dont come with one standard. Cheers :)
LowRangeNick wouldn’t u be using 4wd low for that crawling
@@prime0591 Absolutely 👍 4 low in manual 1st gear 👌
Great vid mate. What size wheels and tyres are you running if you don’t mind me asking mate?
In this video I was running Fuel Vector 17x8.5 pos 7.4mm offset rims with 265/70r17 mud tyres.
Hey mate, what tyres/size you running? Awesome videos
I'm running 265/70r17 tyres in this video 😊 Atturo Trailblade MT
Nice Vid mate, will be heading up there very soon, any plans for a bigger lift? Body lift?
Thanks alot! No plans for bigger lift. I dont want any issues with legalities 😋👍
@@LowRangeNick it's a damn shame what they are doing with those laws, the more 4x4's the more defects and revenue raised I guess. Very tidy build so far 😀
Have you had any dramas with the dpf sys in the newer model? I've got a 16 model but the missus loves the new interior 🤣😂🤣
When you put the snorkel in and removed the airbox is there enough room there for an extra battery. I have a second battery installed but because of room it is only 55amp hr.
Unfortunately not enough room for a battery there. 👍
@@LowRangeNick ta. I built a fridge slide and draw in the back of my MUX. On a removable plinth that work great. I'll look at a 3 Rd battery in the back. I have dual wiring to the back
Hi nick, just curious did you do 2” lift on both front and back??
Yep i did an outback armour hd 2inch lift front and back 😊
Hi Nick great videos. Are you running any diff locks or just the standard factory traction control system?
No diff locks yet. I turn the traction control off as it doesn't work well at all.
Hi, great video, how do you find the traction control while offroad in mu-X?, also, would you consider additional lockers to be installed in your vehicle?
Thanks 😊 I turn traction control off when offroad. It doesnt do a good job at all. I will definately fit a locker or 2 in the future 😊
What do you think is better, buying a Prado with all the built 4wd gear or buy mux and spend the money saved, on modifications of mux ?
@@oosmanch1 Personally i would choose the MU-X over the prado. You get a great vehicle for the price with the Isuzu. But then again its up to you, depends which 4wd you prefer. 😊
This engine sound is made from god himself..
I'm bothered by the engine noise... Is that normal for suv's?.
Yep its normal diesel injector noise from a direct injected engine 😊
How many front cv’s have you replaced Nic?
None yet 😂😂
Any issues till now?
Nope, no issues 😊
Hi, does your vehicle have any diff locks? Thanks
Hey Steven! No it doesnt have diff locks. 👍😊
@@LowRangeNick And yet you don't get stuck? Very cool. One more question: Do you have diff breathers? Thanks
@@StevenMarksChannel yep! No diff breathers yet. But it its on the todo list haha 👍
Can i crawl up there using my standars tyre? Thanks
bisdak cebu's pride standard like do u mean road tyres?
You could potentially. With a spotter it could probably be done, but it would be alot harder.
Mate what tyres and rims please
Atturo Trailblade m/T tyres 265/70r17 size and fuel offroad rims called vectors. 17x8.5 pos 7.4mm offset 😊
Cut those mudflaps in half mate
Haha thats my plan and put a bit of wire or chain on them to hold then back 😊👍
What happened to the 80 you can get any lady in an 80😊
Haha i upgraded a few months ago. Time for a new project haha 😊
I just sold my rig and I am in the market for one of these now. The pajero sport seems to out perform these and have more features but damn they are ugly
haha the only reason it would out perform an mux is because of the factory rear diff lock. The money you save on buying the mux you can put a locker in it :P I have never been a Mitsubishi fan so i didnt realy consider a pajero :P The mux is great though :D
@@LowRangeNick we had tritons as our work vehicles in the last job and almost all of them had issues and repairs from normal road driving in the first 12 months.
It's a hard toss up as the paj on paper seems.to beat the mux in everything and you can get the top spec for cheaper than the mid spec mux. I've test driven both now and I still can't decide.
I got the mux your mod vids sold me on it haha.
@@adambtfiddy9 haha! Yeeeww! Congrats on the new mux!
Isuzu is not good.😦😦😦
