Hey Guys and Gals!
In this video i tackle an incredible track in Conondale National Park that follows a creek and weaves in and out of the creek bed.
I first completed this track about 6 or 7 years ago back when i had my suzuki jimny. I couldnt remember were this track was or find out any info about it since then. So todays challenge was to find that track and complete it. I used HEMA maps topographical maps app to scan the area and looked for tracks that followed a creek and i came across what i thought was the right track. After commencing the track i knew straight away that this was the one i had completed all those years ago in my jimny.
The track begins shortly after the Charlie Moreland Camping area. Just after you hit the dirt track there is a sign to turn right down towards the horse area. You turn right down this track and then instead of going right again to the horse area you go left and continue straight. This will then lead you onto the start of the track which begins with a shallow creek crossing.
Along the whole track you are constantly driving through changing scenery. From crystal clear creeks to thick rain forest it is definitely an impressive part of the country.
The track covers lots of water crossings and would most likely be closed and impossibly to pass in the rain of during flooding. The whole area surrounding the creek is rain forest and i can imagine in the wet the red clay in the hills would turn even the best mud tyres to slicks.
The Isuzu MU-X tackled all these tracks with ease. I reduced the tyre pressures to 20PSI as soon as i hit the dirt roads. It makes it alot comfier and when you get to the harder stuff your ready to go.
The 3.0L turbo diesel engine paired with a 6 speed automatic transmission makes the MU-X very good in all off-road situations.
The MU-X is running a 2 inch outback Armour lift kit with 17x8.5 Fuel Offroad rims wrapped with Atturo Trailblade M/T tyres in the size 265/70r17. I also use an Idrive throttle controller to improve the throttle response.
Thanks alot for watching guys! If you enjoyed this video please give it a thumbs up, comment and SUBSCRIBE for more videos related to the Isuzu MU-X and the build up : )

Hi,Nick,have been watching all of your videos about MUX and love them so much.Following the MUX for months but still can’t make decision either MY 14 /MY 15 PRADO or 2018MUX.Any recommendations for my first 4x4.Cheers
@LowRangeNick
@LowRangeNick 5 лет назад
I was in the same boat a few 6 months ago! I was thinking the same thing. Slightly older prado or brand new mu-x. The 3.0 prados have issues with injectors and the 2.8l have dpf issues. The mu-x has no common issues and is generally extremely reliable and a brand new car over a few year old one for the same price. Thats why i chose the mu-x. Brand new, no common issues and very reliable. Theres always warranty if anything does ever go wrong. Hope thats helps with your decision 😁
@gabrielccicl1465

LowRangeNick Thanks mate.Went to test driving both of them this morning,not much thinking about the Prado,but I find MUX make sounds like truck when it changing the first gear ,and it “calm down “when the speed up to 30.Not worry about that,just shocking me a little “whaaaaaat! Am I driving a truck “😂😂😂Anyway,have you ever thinking about Pajero Sports?

Hey Nick. Good vid. I have a D-Max and keen to head up that way and try out the track. Just picked up my new AT tyres today and will also be getting some Fuel Vector wheels soon plus a lift kit. Was there much bush pin striping on your MU-X on that track?
@LowRangeNick
@LowRangeNick 5 лет назад
Sounds like it will be a mint setup on your D-max! Bet you cant wait to get all the mods fitted! The track is pretty overgrown. I did get a fair bit of pin striping from this track. BUT luckily im good with the cut and polish, because all of the marks have come off 😋👍
@medveds1
@medveds1 4 года назад
Hey Nick great vid. Mate just today I was in an Isuzu dealership looking at buying an MU X, the salesman said to me that the transfer doesn't have a lock in it like your conventional 4by's, how is it that your rig can go places like this with just a lift and tyres???
@LowRangeNick
@LowRangeNick 4 года назад
The salesman doesnt really understand how it works by the sounds. I think what he is trying to say is on full time 4wd vehicles they have a centre diff lock which locks a differential gear in the transfer to allow 50:50 drive to go to the front and rear. In the mux and dmax they are 2wd, 4wd and 4low selectable and have no need for a center diff lock, in the mux and dmax the change is done in the transfer case and front diff. So it is just a different system, but has 2wd, 4wd high and 4wd low selectability. 😊
