Isuzu MU-X Tow bar Install - How to install a Tow Bar

[@Ultrateacher2011]

Cheers Nick, been on a bit of a binge watching your videos. No nonsense, practical, clear instructions and you show the bit and bobs (tips and tricks) to make these mods a little less anxiety driven. Thanks mate, really do appreciate your channel. 👌👌🍻

[@deyanstoykovic9231]

Thank you muchly! My plug kit came without any wiring diagram! When I searched KZbin, I saw this vid and it was exactly what I needed. I skipped to the wiring section of the video and u told me exactly which wire goes where. Thank you!

[@LowRangeNick]

That's awesome Deyan! Glad i could help 😊

[@ugparmar1568]

Great practical no nonsense videos. Good job mate

[@4bnewb969]

Good job 👍 Liking the way the MUX has come together

[@LowRangeNick]

Cheers Michael 😀

[@Cashewnutter112]

Nice work! Clear and simple instructions for each step

[@offthemeynroad4054]

Good work mate. I reckon you should do a video next time you service your car. Would be great to see instructions for checking oils, changing filters, what to look out for, what products you use etc.

[@LowRangeNick]

Thanks alot! Thats a great idea!

[@wilstjames3111]

YYESS! thats it, what ive been waiting for, NICE VID, now let me see if I can stomach the bumper cutting in mine...

[@Ert604]

With new technologies of cars still shit idea removing spare wheel, another great video 👌

[@davidforde9341]

I have just installed a Hayman Reece on my 2019 MU-X and found it much easer and faster by removing back bumper.

[@Captain.Jack.sparrow1976]

We wating for the roof rack and difference lock to be a serious 4×4 car .....good jop

[@shdeedzohco3843]

Is the tow bar already installed in the new 2022 mux ? Or should be installed the same way as this video

[@maranwot4251]

Thanks for the video, hayman reese towbar install will it be same as the Isuzu one please?

[@LowRangeNick]

It will be very similar!

[@tteariki330]

Thnx for the educations mate. gr8 vid,,,,

[@l3n221]

Did the wiring work on the box trailer?

[@TriNguyen-qq5ul]

Awesome job mate, just wondering that bottom bolt under tow hitch i thought tighten it to stop rattle when towing.

[@LowRangeNick]

Thanks alot! The bottom bolt is to stop the hitch rattling when there is no trailer connected. If you leave the bolt tightened in when you have a trailer attached it can mushroom the top of the bolt and stop you from ever getting the hitch out. The hitch should sit in the receiver on the towbar without the bolt tightened when a trailer is attached to allow for movement. 😊👍

[@TriNguyen-qq5ul]

@@LowRangeNick thank nick for the advice i didnt know that i always tighten it when towing so it prevent rattling. Ill loosing the bolt nxt time thank mate

[@trudymartin9867]

Thanks I didn't know to loosen this when towing

[@MiniLuv-1984]

Nice job. I wonder if there is some goop you can put into the plug to waterproof the wiring and the connectors? Not sure if grease is a good idea, maybe Vaseline?

[@LowRangeNick]

Hey Benny! You could put electrical grease into the plug to stop water ingress. Its made to protecr electrical circuits and connections so would work perfectly for this application 😊👍

[@MiniLuv-1984]

@@LowRangeNick Thanks Nick, I didn't know such stuff existed. I'll chase some up because in my camper trailer build, I have many spots that will need some kind of protection against humidity, salt water and other source of moisture.

[@tonynewnham9438]

You can also use denso tape, it’s hard to find now days but works really well.

[@gregbuerckner7694]

Hi how did you manage to get a second hand Kit?

[@anjulchauhan6271]

Brother, how does the hill descent control works in Isuzu manual transmission? What's the use of it in manual. Planning to buy D-max.

[@LowRangeNick]

It would just stop the vehicle from rolling down a hill to fast by maintaining a nice slow steady speed. :)

[@momshiefem1722]

I have a 4x4 Isuzu D Max 2012 and wanted to install a Rear Bumper. Will the Tow Bar be on the way when I Install the Rear Bumper? thanks

[@themaster5129]

Where can I get the black frame which you use it on pumber

[@andrewcakulslynnetteoregan3934]

Did you get your 7pin plug with reed switch to turn off reversing sensors when towing might be annoying when reversing.

[@LowRangeNick]

Nope, never knew they made such a thing! Might have to be a future mod 😋

[@theanythingchannel2239]

Is there no reverse wire?

[@yammerofficialph]

This is awesome!

[@taichiworld]

Hey Mate thanks for the video. Did you by any change weigh this? Isuzu says the tow bar weighs 34kg, but it doesn't look that heavy when you lift it?

[@LowRangeNick]

Its pretty solid so i would think 34kg is pretty accurate 😊

[@dc13279]

Hi mate can you do the oil change on mux auto cheers

[@craigjay769]

Great video

[@cybn2087]

Rightto mate 😄👍🏼

[@hereticus1994]

What size is your spare? Just wondering if I'll have clearance issues with 265/75/16 Toyo Open Country's (806mm Diameter)

[@LowRangeNick]

I'm running 265/70r17 spare.

[@donks5306]

Good job.

[@richarddunstall5870]

Hey mate, have you looked into a diff Drop in the front with the lift?

[@LowRangeNick]

I have, but the cv angle isnt bad at all with the 2 inch lift. So theres no real need to fit one with my current setup. 😊

[@inspire4x4jacko67]

Next time measure between the curved edge on the clips when there on the 2 screws and then measure the hight you need to fit in the allocated lip. If you know what I mean This will work with most template making The Rig is starting to look the part i really like your rear draws

[@LowRangeNick]

Thanks alot 😊👍 It is nice having everything organised in the back.

[@anthonycooper5878]

Can the bumper cutout trim covers be purchased separately from Isuzu?

[@LowRangeNick]

Potentially. Best to call Isuzu Parts to find out.

[@JezyKrat]

Came here looking for the same thing. Did you find the cutout Trim Anthony?

[@allanb52]

I never heard of an electric brake for a trailer, how is that controlled?

[@LowRangeNick]

By a electric brake controller like a redarc tow pro elite.

[@allanb52]

@@LowRangeNick Thanks, you learn something every day, the only braking system I have used is a direct acting hydraulic one, this I can see is a lot more sophisticated. I was actually searching for a motorcycle trailer, where braking isn't really required. Anyway thanks mate.

[@golong1343]

Hey Nick. Do you have any idea where to buy a black MUX bumber or how to remove chrome coating on some MUX body parts?

[@LowRangeNick]

Probably go to a panel shop and get s quote on painting them?

[@golong1343]

@@LowRangeNick thanks

[@LowRangeNick]

@@golong1343 no worries! I reckon it would look sweet 😊👍

[@richie4540]

Nick, where did you buy the tow bar in Brissie?

[@LowRangeNick]

It was in Caloundra.

[@carloyarcia2166]

👍👍👍

[@aussieadventurestimetoplay]

You have to put back your tiredown points back on don't you?

[@LowRangeNick]

nope, doesn't fit with the tow bar. You can use a hitch recovery receiver instead. Which is one of the best ways to recover.

[@jaydenchoveaux1744]

Turn that clip around!!!

[@LowRangeNick]

Huh?

[@Grâce-n1d4x]

Not a lot of white guys can pronounce Isuzu correctly, the rest are ladyboy Eye-suzu, so Kudos!
