Love the way you take on these challenges Nick, no agro, no emotional outbursts, just cool, calculated progress. The MU-X is transformed with the locker.
Awesome video as usual, good to see the after video of installation. Tyres, can't beat NITTO Trail Grappler ( mud rock yet not noisy) or all Terrain Terra Grappler.
I'm running nitto ridge grapplers on my mux, love them. Think they're called a hybrid tyre. Awesome grip and not noisy. Just hard to get them at the moment. Check them out.
ATW3 nick. Had mine on for about 2 years and yes they are noisy initially but u do get used to that especially coming from the stock tires i had on for a while. Defs recommend this brand.
The mux was so good before, now it's almost unstoppable. Heck of a build mate. Nice to see your out on the tracks again. The Goodyear wranglers and the falken wild peaks seem to be good tires from what I've heard and seen. Cheers mate, take care
@@Steve-qe2yo Yeah 200 and 79 series are overrated and so expensive to upgrade and chop. Dmax, triton, pajero and pajero sport are great vehicles that can be built up to go anywhere on a limited budget
Absolutely. I'm currently building a 2012 150 prado on a budget. I've found that if you pick your targets and only buy expensive gear when really needed, it's totally achievable.
@@Steve-qe2yo Fully agree. Only buy the gear that you'll absolutely need for what you will be tackling. Many people buy gear that they don't need thinking that they will. I have a 120 series but I'm not doing anything with it cause I only drive on road. Maybe some quality shocks is something that I'll do. Any suggestions for the shocks? I assume you have the 3.0 d4D engine. What are your thoughts on them? I have the 1kz-te engine which I find is underpowered. Good luck with your build buddy.
@@anthonyramdin1037 yeah you're right, I have the 1kd-ftv. It has good power but a bit laggy when you put your foot down, so I bought an idrive throttle controller and the difference is unbelievable. As for shocks, I've got Dobinsons mono shocks with a 2 inch lift. The ride is awesome. Check out the fourby4diesel channel for everything prado. The guy really knows his stuff.
Loving it mate, I have a MUX and got it just before they became popular. Why pay Toyota tax when the running gear is the same, and a rock-solid engine.
Thanks😒.....you've just convinced me to spend $1700! Hahaha. Loved the video mate. looking forward to putting one in the Dmax. Your install vid was excellent as well👍
@@LowRangeNick No worries mate. I'll get GU Ben to get in touch with you. Ben and I did the toughest tracks in Kenilworth and Imbil before I left to test the air lockers out. Would be good for the MUX. Ive handed down all my GPS work to Ben as he now has the keys to the kingdom hahaha.
Hey bud been watching your vids of late good job may i ad. Any way just bought my self a 2018 mux stock as a rock and that not really me sooo you have probably been asked a million times but what size tyers and how high a lift ???
Hi Nick! I remember that on your old jimny, you put one locker only at front axle, now you have decided for rear only. Which solution do you find best for mild (non-hardcore) offroading?
hey mate thanks for the video, I an RG 2012 Colorado 2.8 ltr diesel and have just had a front harrop e-locker fitted, she is now twin locked (both harrop). 2 in, breathers, pre filters, winch and a big break kit on the front and other bits. I haven't done anything to the engine, she has 300k and doesn't miss a beat but curious on your thoughts re the tune you have. Is it worth on a motor with these K's? Appreciate your thoughts cheers Mark
Hi Bob! Sounds like a well setup RG! Would be unstoppable with twin lockers. I would probably just make sure the engine is in good condition and everything has been serviced and you should have some great results with a remap.
Enjoyed that Nick. You have certainly built yourself a capable vehicle - that locker makes a big difference. Might look closely at a MUX when the day comes to upgrade my ‘13 Hilux. Locker brand aside; if you are going to fit one locker, front or rear ? Cheers
If your only going to fit one.. front will usually get you further off-road. Rear you will use more often. It's a very hard decision. Probably front if your only going to do one haha I'll change my mind on that next week probably. Very hard decision, either way you will be stoked with the vehicles offroad performance with either locker.
You are unable to completely disengage the locker, so whenever your in 4wd the locker is engaged. Front lockers put alot of stress on the front end and make it difficult to turn so it is ideal to be able to disengage it if needed.

Thanks alot for watching
😊
When are you doing a secondary fuel filter DIY mate? Lol been waiting for it! Cheers bro
@@clivecamangon7998 Eventually haha. If you buy me one I will make a video for you haha 😋😋😋
@@LowRangeNick ill buy you a slab when Im in Perth in February to finish my Paramedic degree mate. 😁
@@LowRangeNick Just a tip mate, make sure your videos are always more than 10 mins so you make more money off youtube.
@@clivecamangon7998 That will suffice haha 😂😂👍

That’s pretty impressive, you’ve turned the MUX into a great vehicle.

Isuzu just makes life easy. Great vids Nick!
Great build update. Way to go!
Beautifully done thanks for the lessons. Can't wait to re head my old mu
Try the Nitto grapplers or Toyo Open country

Agreed. Nice to see a build other than a 79 or 200 series. Great little truck.

been watching vids from 4wd 247, rear lockers really make a fourbie like 4x more capable especially when it's slippery wet, nice vids mate
Nice work mate love all the videos and helpful hints I’ve just pick up my 2020 MUX can’t wait to take it out.
Nice. Just ordered the mu-x. Can't wait to take it off road.
Another great vid Nick!
Your MUX’s looking mint 👌
Cheers Travis 😊
Loving it mate, I have a MUX and got it just before they became popular. Why pay Toyota tax when the running gear is the same, and a rock-solid engine.
Ive had good success with Mickey T ATZs. On my 3rd set.
Top video mate. BFG or cooper
I just went the falken wildpeaks last week on mine. So surprising how aggressive they look but no highway noise.
New tires..... yokohama x-at. Have them on my mu-x awesome tires
Thanks😒.....you've just convinced me to spend $1700! Hahaha. Loved the video mate. looking forward to putting one in the Dmax. Your install vid was excellent as well👍
Haha it's definately worth it! You have soo much more control when offroad 😊
Hey Nick. Give Armchair Track in Kenilworth a go mate. That will be a good test for you :)
Cheers Kev! I saw it on the map as I was heading out. Which direction do you recommend doing it ? 😊
@@LowRangeNick No worries mate. I'll get GU Ben to get in touch with you. Ben and I did the toughest tracks in Kenilworth and Imbil before I left to test the air lockers out. Would be good for the MUX. Ive handed down all my GPS work to Ben as he now has the keys to the kingdom hahaha.
Bloody awesome Nick hitting Imbli tomorrow mate is it easy to find this track ?
It's a little bit difficult to find. There's soo many tracks weaving through the area.
Hi
How does it tow does it loose power up hill open roads
Hi nick,. Are you also planning on putting on front diff locks in the future?
Yep, definately!
i have in my rg collie love it
Hey bud been watching your vids of late good job may i ad. Any way just bought my self a 2018 mux stock as a rock and that not really me sooo you have probably been asked a million times but what size tyers and how high a lift ???
Congrats on getting yourself an mu-x 😊 In this video I have just over 50mm of lift and 265/70r17 tyres.
Hey mate great video what lift are you running on the Mux? And bfg km3 for sure great all round tyre
Hey Jonathon! I'm running the outback armour performance lift kit.
@@LowRangeNick how many inches mate
@@jonathonlush880 Its a 40mm lift but I have put extra spacers in to achieve approx 50-60mm.
Hi Nick! I remember that on your old jimny, you put one locker only at front axle, now you have decided for rear only. Which solution do you find best for mild (non-hardcore) offroading?
For mild off roading the rear will get used alot more.
Awesome vid Nick. What brand of compressor do you use to inflate tyres?
I use an XTM compressor, it's really good! Pumps up all 4 tyres in about 10 mins from 14 psi to 36psi 🙂
@@LowRangeNick awesome. Thank you.
Not to keen spend $$$ on an arb lol
@@kenezos Yep, I think the XTM is around $99 👍
@@LowRangeNick thanks again matey
hey mate thanks for the video, I an RG 2012 Colorado 2.8 ltr diesel and have just had a front harrop e-locker fitted, she is now twin locked (both harrop). 2 in, breathers, pre filters, winch and a big break kit on the front and other bits.

@@LowRangeNick thank you I change oil every 5ks and filters at 10 so she is looked after
Good one Nick, you've come a long way with the MUX! Do you rate it now after the 80? Cheers Steve
I sure do! Loving the mu-x 😊
Will this upgrade be enough for a 2wd mu-x for not too serious offroading?
It would definately increase its capability.
@@LowRangeNick thanks for the opinion.
Just wondering what is the RPM range on those steep climbs in 2:00?
Hi nick enjoyed the video so much more capable with a locker well worth the effort I have falken wild peaks AT great tyres worth a look
We need to know how to reduce the engine noise or make the sound as sport vehicle
Don't get an isuzu then.
Nice wheels bro. Did you get your compressor from Supercheap
I think I got it from Bcf 😊
I'll have a look at all my options too Nick though I was thinking of getting myself an inverter first. EBay would be worth a try also ay
more please
Hey Nick,
What bash plates have you fitted?
None yet, just the standard ones.
NITTO , 30K JEEPS can't be wrong lol
Gday mate, how many kms u get from the tyre, set of 4?
About 70k on them at the moment.

Bridgestone Atx

Why you didn't use LOKKA diff locker .. front differential??
You are unable to completely disengage the locker, so whenever your in 4wd the locker is engaged. Front lockers put alot of stress on the front end and make it difficult to turn so it is ideal to be able to disengage it if needed.
