⏩ Where did this start?
I really enjoy tinkering with different projects - they usually require a whole bunch of research and learning along the way. It's satisfying on doing a thing and standing back and going 'Yeah! Totally did that!'. I had a bunch of mates asking 'how did you know how to do that?' and 'I couldn't never do that myself so I thought; I need to start something where I can help others that might be thinking the same thing :)
⏩ What will you find here?
The purpose is simply to make these videos as top quality and helpful as I can. They will always be free, there's ZERO agenda and the only motive is to try and upload what I would want to watch to help with that particular project. I'm also keen to keep building this little community and will try to answer all questions when asked - fire away :)
⏩ What's with the gloves?
Not after any TH-cam fame here which is why I'm not in the vids - they're not about me they're about the how-to! I used the gloves for the first couple of projects I filmed which just happened to be messy ones and it kinda just became a thing. Plus adds a little more personality I guess :)
New videos are being uploaded regularly so if there's something you'd like to see, have Questions and/or Comments drop me a line.
Cheers guys.
Adam

NEW DMAX OWNER HERE!
Thank you for the informed and clear presentation on your experience with the DMAX :)
Enjoy!
I dont know what you do for a living but this will be it full-time soon. Clear, precise straight forward reviews and instructions are the best on TH-cam! Don't forget us little guys when you have your own TV show. 👍
Thank you Dave! 👍🙏😀
Loved this mate... I have been looking for a channel with new D- Max... I am gonna watch all of your work now... Thank you keep it up...
Your videos is so helpful,not just to me...but to all of us Dmax owner...i cant thank you enough for all your hardwork doing all this...please dont stop...🤘🏻 cheers mate
Thanks bud! 👍
Good to watch, thanks!
Good stuff Adam, I have used this channel to help me sort out my Xterrain build.
This gets me soo exited for my dmax in a few months - cant wait!!!
Great work mate, keep it up, favourite channel to date.
Many thanks for your wrap up. I am very close to ordering one. Probably going the LS-U though due to budget restrictions. I have subscribed and will being to watch your other stuff. Thanks again.
I have the Isuzu SX Spacecab tray. Had it a month and a half. Love it. The safety stuff can be a bit funny at times but you always have control so it is just getting used to the twitches. Agree with the head unit "OK" every time.
This video is really really awesome!
Thanks so much for sharing. I’ve ordered a d max and it’s great to hear from an owner. 😊
Glad it was helpful!
the safety tech in the dmax is awesome. i had a stray pedestrian run out infront of me and it was like my car hit a wall it stopped that fast. great for both my car and the pedestrian.
Ah that's great feedback, glad it kicked in
Whereas my Dmax 'safety features' have come very close to causing two accidents. I moved over to pass a cyclist on a narrow road and the electric steering suddenly flicked left and nearly hit the rider (and yes I copped a mouthful). Something similar happened with a parked car on a narrow road. The driver opened his door just as I approached and the 'safety' lane keep flicked the wheel and I reckon I missed his door by cm. I can see a possible lawsuit arising one day. In legal parlance, 'This as a foreseeable consequence of the lane keep function.' Isuzu would have prove that it wasn't the case and they wouldn't be able to. The same goes for the diff lock actuator being smashed by being exposed to gravel and rocks.. on a purpose built 4WD.
Thanks Once again fantastic
Mate, great videos, love the content. I do think the paint job is average but other than that it's a pretty good Ute.
great review good work
Thanks!
So tempted to put in an aftermarket headunit to be able to bypass pressing that button every time!
Also have had good success with the AAWireless adapter for wireless android auto! 👍
Hey Mate, Love the vids. Just regarding the windscreen wiper sprays, I installed the factory base model sprays under the bonnet and work great. FYI
Oh interesting!
I actually chose the d max over the Mazda because of the aircon cup holders and the top storage cubby. Also I like the more aggressive design :)
I am about to get my new Dmax 4x4 dual cab. I think I made a good choice. Need it for tradie work in regional areas. Look forward to enjoying my long trips behind the wheel of a competent all round workhorse!
Thanks for all your videos Adam, been a great series to watch. Had mine for 6months 28000 on mine, definitely a lot of bush stripes, paints definitely not great, and still need to get rid of the tub liner to fit the fridge better.
Took a fair bit to get used to the electronics but all in all great vehicle to drive. Seats could be easier to clean but my bad for not putting covers on yet 🤦♀️
Only thing I wish for was if autobreaking could be easier to turn off when offroad!!
Cheers for sharing the build
Cheers mate, still a bunch to come :)
@@VideoShowMeHow look forward to them
I bought a 23 xterrain, I use it to tow 2500-3000 kg loads. So it has a trailer on at least 50% of the 22,000 kms I’ve done so far. I’ve used a Rouge and Colorado for the same purpose over the past 6 years (I do A LOT ok k’s). Almost zero 4wd’ing. My experience with the Dmax so far is. I love it. Much more comfortable and nicer to drive and tow with than either the Rogue or Colorado. I think Isuzu must de-tune the 3.0 lyrics engine because it’s just ticks along. It’s sometimes difficult to notice if I have a light trailer on. Saying that, it requires a little more “motivation” to get a shuffle on than either the Toyota or Colorado, it’s a little lazy. My pet hates (I have 2) though is the piano black interior. Looks fantastic when clean, but takes about half an hour before it’s covered in dust. The other issue I have is the collision alert, can be turned off in hud before driving but such a pain. Especially if someone is turning left into a side street, the bloody thing has a heart attack! I just end up shouting at it and ignoring the warnings, which defeats the purpose of it. Other than those 2 things I’m a big fan.
I have to agree one of the best utes on the market super comfy, and soaks up highway K's. Mines not in quite as nice condition, couple small apprentice marks lol and the kid doesn't help much either. Otherwise love it.
I love my dmax and I agree with you on the head unit. The only thing I can hate against it is that my parking sensor continually turns itself on and off. Isuzu have tried to fix it with a new module but it hasn't fixed the problem
Excellent video, mine arrives dec 2022! I have to say though I wish you’d put your left hand it your pocket!
When you said the paint is easy to scratch...i agree,but..but....all my friends who own ute,like the ranger,navara,triton,hilux...all of them complaint the same issue,its like for ute market...the manufacturer really slushy about paintwork,its like they only put thin paint to save cost and make more profits
Thank you your bar who is the manufacturer love it 😍
Cheers, was a prototype but I believe they're now available from CaneToad equipment
Hi mate,
Great video cheers. I love the 3d printed coffee cup raiser but for the life of me I can’t find anything anywhere.
I found em from a guy on marketplace, haven't seen them in a bit though
Interesting thought on the catch can. Totally agree with the pre filter but the jury is out on catch cans. Think while under warranty I will not be fitting one. As many people say yes say don't? I don't like the idea of unlubricated dry dust going back into the intake.
Munji 4x4 are developing a vent to atmosphere system that coats the inside of your chassis rails with a fine oil vapour rather than sending that crud back into your intake.
Think I may go buy a isuzu now was almost convinced with a Hilux until i sore this 👌
Yep, when the IDAS cameras see a tree branch or road sign and it thinks your going to hit it, it warns you to brake by beeping and flashing red lights. On occasions it rapidly applies the brakes and tries to throw you through the windscreen. Scares the crap out of you and the car drivers following behind! No, this feature is not disabled in 4wd off road, unfortunately
Regarding the windscreen squirters, got a 2022 LS-M and it has regular squirters spraying out from under the bonnet, not from the wiper arms. Maybe talk to your dealer about getting the squirters put in from the base model. Or next time you are at the dealer, take a look at the lower models to see how they are plumbed. You can buy generic nozzles for 5 or 6 bucks per pair, maybe worth cobbling something together? And yeah... the OK button really sucks, and is actually dumb. Let's make the driver take their eyes off the road to press the "ok" button just so they can turn the volume down on the blaring stereo that kicked in after they started driving cause carplay took a while to sync up. It's dangerous, man. Most of the other tech makes sense, and when you are really tired the lane keeping stuff is really helpful. Glad you can turn it off though, cause it can get real confused on Sydney roads with questionable lane markings. Thanks for the honest opinions. Would love to hear feedback on the DP-Chip now you've had it for a while.
Great point re the ok button. DPChip still working well so far 👍
I took it for a drive didn’t like the sluggish noisy engine but have heard it’s a good towing engine & reliable I ended up buying the ranger biturbo a lot dearer but would look @ the bt-50 if the price was right as I like the inside & outside better 😎
Hi Adam thank you for the videos the have been very helpful could you please tell me what you upgraded your start battery to
Century Overlander👍
One of the most aggressive looking pickups and I like it. How does compare to others?
This is great info - cheers for taking the time to put this up. Im about to pull the trigger on a dmax - and I’m sure this applies to any car - but do the non-genuine accessories cause any concern with the warrantee ?
Ive read a bit and some say yes, some say no and some say who cares 😅
Only impacts the bit you modify, not the whole car. Eg if you change your suspension and there's an issue, you'd pursue warranty via the suspension provider not Isuzu. Isuzu won't warrant components you've changed or modified.
I thought that was the case - but the internet is a strange beast ! Good to know, and I’ll be borrowing some of your ideas 😉 thanks again 👍
Great build Adam. One of my biggest gripes is the dimmer switch. It dims nothing of value. It should dim the dash and the infotainment unit. Pointless only dimming the AC and window controls. Absolute pain to dim the dash and info unit for night driving.
Go to the settings in the dash cluster itself when its on auto it does it via the sun sensor ect. I've got mine set on manual and can set fuel/temp and dials separately
I could never identify what it was supposed to dim!
Holding the home button down for a few seconds is a shortcut to the brightness menu on the infotainment screen
Another great video, thanks Adam. I have been communicating with ScanGauge since I got my new model DMax late October 2020 with not much luck or even interest from them. I sometimes tow a small caravan ( around 2 tonnes) and want to monitor my gerabox temp and EGT, do you know of any product to do this yet? Mine is an LSU and I agree with all your comments in this video. It is interesting you point out that Isuzu have solved the turning many things off with the press of a button for towing. I service mine every 5000km but take it to an Isuzu dealer for the book services and have just done the 30,000 service with the same people. I will check with them tomorrow to see if I have had the software update to turn off the main features for towing the caravan. I've just returned from towing the van to Cooktown and back for an average fuel consumption over the 4,900 km trip of 12.36L/100km. I regularly drive to Bundamba down the Ipswich motorway and often get below 8L/100km, it also agrees when I enter each fuel load into a spreadsheet for calculation.
You can get egt via the torque Pro app and obd Bluetooth adaptor. I run through that in more detail in the towing test video. Dealer can retro update for the tow button, just need to ask them for the update (not the lowering lane keep sensitive one)
Hi
Love the look of the ute,
Can I ask why the gloves
Just but of a call sign of the channel full details in the video description
Love your vids. Was just wondering what mount you used for your phone. I want to install mine in the same location
Here you are: th-cam.com/video/ocUXtUz0TCc/w-d-xo.html
@@VideoShowMeHow awsome mate will be doing this.
Had my XT Over 2 yrs now, 21k, the adaptive cruise control is a shocker, car pulls in front you almost run over it before it brakes and open the gap. When it brakes down a big hill brakes are like steady eddy applying it, will over run as much as 10kph, drop into the bottom of the hill drops 6kph lower before it picks up again, whole processor is so slow. Same with cameras just a shocker, very slow or over sensitive.
Indicate 2 flashes and change lanes sometimes alarms go off and rips you back in your lane.
I also have issues with short trip sub 1 min turn off and back on sets off fault with steering lock system failure , back to the dealer 3 times, they can't find anything, useless... apart from electronics car is great.
Hey love your videos they help me so much with decisions. I’ve had my X Terrain now just over 14 months and love it, best choice I’ve made. I’ve also bought a new caravan approx 3 tonne, does my Ute have that upgrade you talked about where it cuts out all the sensors without going into the dash confusion ? It’s had its service now on 14,000km. Also best head unit this one is driving me nuts. Alpine Halo ?? Regards and keep up the good work 👌
Pre 22, you need the dealer to update the software, is a free upgrade. 22+ dmax comes with already installed
@@VideoShowMeHow ok great thanks for that I will get in touch with my dealer and sort that out. Your shows are amazing and only got my tail gate done so far. Next will be the head unit 😂 drives me nots
@@daibach999 in the middle of the headunit decision now!
@@VideoShowMeHow interested to see what you choose. 👌
@@daibach999 will be a vid of course 😄
In my country..they already introduce upgraded xterrain come with 360 camera,wireless charger ..
Oooooo interesting! Hmmm wonder if retro fittable 🤔
Morning and really enjoy your videos. I have a 2023 BT 50 to tow a 2700kg caravan. Noticed you use an app based engine diagnostics tool but can't find details of what it is. Could you provide details of what you use. Many thanks. Pete D
Hi, have a video on it th-cam.com/video/ve4d0JMg6qk/w-d-xo.html
hey just watched your vid, interested in getting a dmax thanks for the review do you have the problem with the sun visor hitting the mirror?
No haven't had the issue
Good video! I’ve had a few problems with my Xterrain.
Changing from park to reverse or drive sometimes catches and makes a crunch noise.
Since day one sometimes I have burning rubber smell from the rear wheels (Not from burnouts just driving)
Sometimes going over bumps or pot holes the front right wheel makes a pop noise. Dealership had a look and couldn’t find anything.
The front bumper has soooo many chips and marks from rocks, Must be a cheap paint or something else because it looks horrible.
The black plastic interior gets scratches so easily and looks very cheap.
Other than these annoying imperfections the car works perfectly and looks great.
Thanks for your videos👊
Could the burnt rubber smell be a recent DPF burn?
Most likely yes
Does the dmax show when a burn is happening? On my Hilux is notfies when a burn is underway and have noticed that burnt rubber/clutch sort of smell when getting out of the car towards the back.
@@13breno13 no it doesn't, you'll only see lights if there's an issue. If you run an obd2 reader you'll see the egt temps spike. Check-out the towing test vid for more info on this
Couldn't have said any of it better myself
Hi Adam, what is the battery you have fitted. Was it a straight out swap? Enjoy all your vids well done
Was a century, check-out the 12v plate video for more detail
@@VideoShowMeHow Hi Adam, Thanks for that. I might be stupid but ran through the 12v plate accessory video and other than the battery appearing about 50 times in the video was unable to find any details about it. Cheers James
Hi Adam, have you weighed the DMax since you have done most of mods, it would be interesting to see how much weight you have added from stock as a lot of people will do similar things.
When you lifted the bonnet did you remove the DPChip you installed as couldn’t see it.
With the rear bar is there enough room behind to put some lights either side as rock flood lights?
Was a long range tank in works as you can get a sub tank which fits behind the spare wheel and onside give additional 45L?
I’m currently waiting for mine to arrive. I do love the DMax due to interior room and the engine.
Did a tip run the other week and it was 2.74 with a tub full of crap so prob around 2.5 I reckon. Will be doing a weights vid once build complete. Yep DPChip was there on the 12v plate. And yep long range tank not far away
@@VideoShowMeHow Can I asked did you go for full tank replacement or rear sub tank?
Full tank replacement has cons with tank range and fuel indication on dash.
Sub tank seems the go for me. Would like a 80L sub and move spare wheel above the shutter but sun gets at them.
@@bushmagpie3312 going full replacement poly
Hi Adam. Just wondering if you added a transmission cooler to the dmax? If not what temps do you max whilst towing? Many thanks Pete. Luv your videos😊
Not yet, only got the trans temp sensor update after the big van trip but with the camper trailer max I've seen is 94
Thanks Adam . Picking up our new van in a couple of months which is same size as the caravan you tested. Ill wait to see who bt50 handles without TC first. Cheers
Hi, enjoying your review but the moving hand in the video is quite off putting. Thank you for the work you have out in though it is appreciated.
Hi Adam love your video's I have a 2021 Lsu dmax love it but I've got to ask you how is your AC working mine has its days when it run hot when it's on AC 18 deg that's the lowest it goes then I have days when it works perfectly well two different dealers had a go at fixing the issue one said there was to much gas in the system and the other said there was not enough gas in the system you tell me if you have any other information cheers Adam
AC works really well on mine? Sounds like an issue there for sure mate
Hi Adam I have the same year and colour as your DMax (nice cars) just a quick one the button on the steering wheel that turns things off for towing ,what does it turn off and did you have to ask Isuzu to do the update or did they do it automatically at service time.
Yes you need to ask for the LSS software update from the dealer - is a free upgrade
I ordered November 21 ,told June now supposed to be December 28 pick up for mine It’ll wanna be good …… 400+ days 😩
Hang in there mate!
Ordered mine in September 21 and November is the new estimated delivery date so Im feeling your pain 🤣😡
Hi Adam, is your suspension still OEM? If so, going with 285 tires on +18 offset puts your wheels further out from your fenders by fair bit. Did it or will it touch or scrap your fenders when the suspension is fully compressed?
Hey, in running 285/65/18 +18, these sit perfect flush with the xt guards. There's a short video on the channel showing them. Currently running Outback Armour adjustables (~50mm lift). No scrub.
Can u give us a list of everything you have attached to the car? I would like to make my dmax look like your dmax
Pretty much all the gear is in the build playlist on the channel 👍
Hey mate, what is your second awning that you're running here? I assume the big one is the 180 but what's the smaller one on the right side?
That's the bushwakka ensuite, vid out on that soon
what problems did you encounter so far on the vehicle? any minor repairs on the engine?
so far so good!
Hi Adam
In video you mentioned that you’ve done ceramic coating , did I miss your video or you haven’t uploaded one ? I was thinking of doing that to my Ute but don’t know how .
No didn't miss it as didn't film it 😄 Worthwhile vid you reckon?
I think 100% you should, ceramic coating is expensive to get done professionally by someone, but as you proven so many times any job can be achieved in your own garage at a fraction of a cost. I use Bowden own products and they are amazing not a single scratch on my almost 2 year old Ute . Ceramic coating would be a fantastic addition to your vid collection I think.
I'll see what I can do ;)
Hey just wondering where do I get the door handles you have from? Cheers
eBay :)
Hi there we are getting our in a weeks tome interested in what awning your using?
This is a bushwakka 180, review vid out in the next couple days 👍
Let me know if you go in the direction of the Alpine head unit as the more superior Kenwood which can interface with the safety tech doesn’t have the facia for the current Isuzu/Mazda model yet.
So the Kenwood is better?
@@VideoShowMeHow I've been told it can link into the ADAS system with a module so it displays on the screen same as the torque instruments as it's plugged into the OBD2 module. However I have just been researching and I really like the alpine unit better
That would be cool for sure! Will add to the mix
Hello, I have installed 265 65 R18s(stock rims) instead of 265 60 R18s on my 2023 Dmax 1,9 Diesel Auto. 33 psi is written on driver side for normal use. How much psi should I use for my new tyres? Thanks.
It really depends on the weight of your specific vehicle, type of tyre etc etc. I'd probably start at about the 35 mark the do the chalk test (lots of TH-cam videos on this) or similar and adjust to suit
Would you still go dmax over the new ranger now. New ranger seems to have better engine but I think the styling of dmax still seems more sexy. And dmax i believe has engine potential being a detuned engine, where as the ranger biturbo engine at least seems high strung
The v6 diesel is certainly interesting!
Hi Adam and co. Just wanted to check I've found the headlight adjustment screw and not something else. Is it the round plastic white gear wheel piece with a flathead screw slot ? Thanks all
Yep that's it, screwdriver down vertically from above. 8mm socket also works. Recommend facing a wall in an underground carpark when adjusting so you can get them spot on 👌
@@VideoShowMeHow awesome thanks !
I had a 21 BT50.
Not sure if the Isuzu is the same but my windscreen washer reservoir topped it self up every time it rained.
I find it strange that no reviews around happened to mention this genius invention.
Really??? ***Grabs keys***
Yes please let me know I’m not seeing things pal.
I had it for a year and it was always filled up to the brim whenever I checked it.
I have seen your chip mod, have you looked into a dynotune?
Yeah, but not at the moment
Great video
You forgot
To mention hiw much ya paid for it .
$59k at the time
What torque app are you using for your phone
Car scanner app these days, have a vid on the channel showing it - how to OBD scanner'
Hey mate, any scrape with tyres that size?
Thanks
Nope all good
Yea totally agree
POP up ADVERTISING in your purchase should be illegal.Bring back Analogue.The end user will always be in control. FORGET the cloud and burn subscription s.All to easy to be manipulated and loose all your rights.
How about rust problems in the chassis?
Rust problems??
Just pick mine up, do you have issues with front sensors sometimes randomly going off when stopped. And most off all the auto headlights really sensitive, even when set to low, turn on off when driving along from the shade of trees.
Yes I have that weird parking sensor issue sometimes too actually
Same here, was gonna ask the dealer about this at 3k service
Hi Adam. Did you drove in dusty conditions? I get a lot of dust inside the cabin while driving. Apparently it enters through the door and from behind the back seats
run your ac or fan only in outside air mode, it should add a bit of positive air pressure in the cab and aid with dust. trade off is the air filter but whatever
Yeah quite a lot when 4wding, no issues though? There is the cabin vent behind the rear seats but this shouldn't be letting dust in, it's designed to allow pressure out when you close the doors, might be worth having a look behind the trim there though, in a few of the earlier vids in the build I show pulling this off
Which battery did you upgrade to? You say 880 CCA but which battery is it?
Century overlander
Hi Adam, Can you share any information regarding the seat base defect? Or is it just something you brought up during a service, I suspect I'm experiencing the same issue... TIA.
The base was just super squeaky, apparently there was some bushings that had perished, Isuzu replaced and no issues since
Am having a similar issue too. Squeaky creaky seat base. Next service, raising with the dealer. Not been annoying enough for me to pull the seat out on the side of the track to take a look. Yet...
Yeah should be a warranty replace mate
@@VideoShowMeHow lol! Yeah, too true. sometimes getting my "mechanical therapy" takes priority.
What are those gauges you are showing at 17.50 I would love to have something like that in mine
Torque pro app and obd scanner, check out the towing video that that's from for more info
@@VideoShowMeHow Thank you, found it
Are you still running the engine chip mod?
Still in the yep, can see it on the 12v plate 👍
The piano black trimmings annoy me as well. I'm constantly cleaning the bastards!
Good point. Have seen a few people vinyl wrap them, seems good, hope kg eventually there's an eBay special cover piece that will do the job 😀
@@VideoShowMeHow I have covered some of it with carbon fibre from ebay. The only problem is that it is designed for a lefty, so some of the pieces don't fit on ours. So some is carbon, some is still piano black. I might look at vinyl.
You havent done an exhaust upgrade yet have you?
Nah, no need that I can see
@@VideoShowMeHow for noise theres no point but for that lil bit of fuel and preformance i think its a good upgrade
What is total cost on building it?
Haven't been keeping score! 😁
I’ve had a great time watching and copying your vids. I’m changing to the new Wildtrak though. Any chance you can do the same and make some more vids for me to follow 😂
Haha was tempted there for a sec but will be hanging with this for the moment, maybe in the future once done bugs are ironed
In regards to the battery, in a FIFO lifestyle at least. 2 weeks parked at the airport carpark, no problem. 3 weeks, forget about it, battery will be dead.
had a battery failure after 3 weeks.
Yeah don't think they're the best, they're only small for a 3L diesel too I thought at 440cca. Have upgraded to a Century overland
gloves....?
Bit of a thing here on the channel
