Is This the Most Underrated 4WD? | Modified Isuzu MU-X Build Walkthrough

Bet you haven’t seen an Isuzu MU-X like this before! Brent takes a look at this unique build for Tom & Dee. This modified MU-X is built to enhance its touring and towing performance.

Starting with an AFN Bull Bar featuring DRL and fog light retention, this setup not only boosts the vehicle's front-end protection but adds sleek aesthetics. For seamless communications on the go, a GME XRS UHF with a pass-through switch has been installed. Protecting the engine, gearbox, and transfer case, Custom Off-Road Bash Plates ensure the MU-X is ready for any off-road adventure. Also under the vehicle, the suspension has been upgraded with a Bilstein lift kit. Providing a 2-inch lift for better off-road capability, while airbags in the rear help maintain stability when towing. A GVM upgrade increases the payload by an extra 200kg, making the GVM 2950kg. A Safari 4x4 V-Spec Snorkel has been fitted for clean air intake during dusty off-road conditions, paired with under-bonnet components like an oil-air separator, pre-line fuel filter, and driveline breathers.

Meanwhile on top of the 4x4 to maximize roof storage, we added a Rhino Rack with a backbone system, ideal for carrying MAXTRAX and jerry cans. The rear of the vehicle is equally equipped, with a 12-pin plug, Anderson plug, and a long-range fuel tank for extended travel range. The Drifter Drawer System completes the setup, incorporating a 100Ah lithium battery, compressor control, water tank, and fridge, ensuring efficient storage and power management for weekend getaways.
This MU-X is the ultimate touring and towing beast, offering a versatile, capable, and underrated option in the world of 4WD. Stick around to see why this setup might just be perfect for your next adventure!

I've never seen an MUX with an aftermarket high clearance, rated recoveries points, spare and jerry mounts on the Isuzu Mux.

Essentially double the loan you get for the vehicle to do all the upgrades, very nice choice of mods and I would love to do it mine but poor is poor lol. Thanks for the video it was great.

This vehicle will out run the Arabs on the Sahara. A built fit to be showcased by Sir Lewis Hamilton.👍

I thought a 265/60 on a standard rim wasn’t legal?
