ISUZU M UX

There was an issue with the Dmax where a lift caused the rear uni joint to have too big an angle causing failure and warranty knock back. I don't know if it applies to an MUX but I would check with Isuzu before doing one. Often, genuine snorkels aren't waterproof as well.

Hi Julie I'm also looking at the MUX-LS-T. I checked out prices of accessories at ARB and their online priced catalogue was very helpful.
Also go to the Isuzu forum (Oz Isuzu -http://www.ozisuzu.com.au/index.php ) there is a mountain of information available.

'Genuine' will cost you much more and is often sourced from aftermarket suppliers anyway. I speak as a MUX owner.

Don't know where you are but this caught my eye the other day when I was browsing Carsales
In a dealer at Picton in wa

Too far away from me

Thanks for the info, I am just waiting to be accepted into the forum. Our lift would be no greater than the 50mm you suggested. Just not sure about doing the other stuff ourselves, like outfitting it with after market stuff. I am sure my husband can do it, but where to source the bits at a better price would be good to know and if there are any issues in doing this.

Thanks, very good point. will definitely keep this in mind, now you have mentioned it.

Probably the towbar will be essential for the towing of trailers and vans.
If not going off road to ford deep streams or following someone far too closely, it is unlikely you will ever need a snorkel.
If having a snorkel fitted to either new or Secondhand, the integrity of the fitter is the only thing which ensures a proper sealing of all relevent joints in the intake system. Preparing the hole with sealer and rust proffing is often not done by professional fitters.
What is wrong with the OE wheels? they shouldn't need to be replaced at all, but tyres may need upgarding depending on what style of off road use you propose.
The lift is good to have but again has to be done sensibly by competent fitters.
Have a look at Newdmax.net or Ozisuzu forum. May have to register. These people own and use MUX all the time, mod them and add accessories. Far more info on there than Exploroz, good as it is, those sites are more specialized.
Just horses for courses.

A strong recommendation to go the my15.5 if you can find one.
It doesnt have the dpf setup, extra exhaust filter, this is a long term expense and saps power and efficiency
Extra Nm and 6 speed doesnt show up mich and some saying older gearbox better.

I couldn't see the value in the LST. Went for the LSU. I don't like the feel of and maintenance with leather and the satnav maps aren't good enough for my offroad nav needs. Load capacity of the roof rails isn't great.

I would avoid the 18" wheels on the MY17 - not good for offroading.
