[@LowRangeNick]

Hey Guys! Lisa and I were using the Oricom DTX4200 UHF in the Mu-x and I was using the Oricom DTX600 hand held radio for this trip! It worked a treat.

They sound like good units. I prefer hand held than hard wired myself

[@LowRangeNick]

@adzoutnabout8666 I have been really happy with both units. The DTX600 is a great handheld. It's 5watt so it can transmit long distances. Water proof and dust proof. Also has a Lithium battery with 30hrs run time ! Really great unit 👍

that jimny is more than capable bone stock. hopefully to see a lot more of these family trips!

[@LowRangeNick]

I love this episode. It reminds me of my first drive in a Suzuki

[@ianrichardson9200]

Great content Nick. You have taught me so much about servicing my MUX. looking forward to seeing more of both vehicles. You look like you and your family had a great time. Thanks, Nick.

[@LowRangeNick]

Thanks Ian! 😀

Fantastic video mate really enjoyed it. You can not go wrong with the latest JB74 Jimny they are a really fantastic off reader . You just need to get it lifted and get some muddy or aggressive AT tyres on it . I can’t wait to get my self one. Looking forward to seeing you and your family on the next adventure

[@LowRangeNick]

Thanks a lot Jeremy! 😃

[@pkgoldopalhunting]

[@devinlatchman2210]

Hey Nick, Really cool that you had the girls out in the MuX ! That jimny does pretty well. Looking forward to more videos and upgrades on both of em. Keep it coming bro. Big fan here , all the way from the Caribbean - Trinidad ! Cheers !

[@LowRangeNick]

Hey Devin, it was a really fun day out testing the 4wds! That's awesome, all the way from the Caribbean. Must be a nice place to live 😃

[@PaulOff-RoadDownunder]

So good you made it a family outing.... Nice to meet the crew 👍. Damn that Jimny traction system was working nicely.... Impressive. And damn that MUX rear locker action makes me want one !! Love the crawling ability. Nicely done video.... Cheers 👌

[@LowRangeNick]

Thanks a lot Paul!

[@adzoutnabout888]

That vid was great, great to see your wife learning to drive a 4wd in the bush.

[@LowRangeNick]

Thanks a lot 😃

[@torbenh9853]

Awesoem video man

[@LowRangeNick]

Thanks Torben! 😀

[@tyik]

Excellent video. Very tempt to swap to a smaller Jimney.😄

[@kamalsamaroo976]

Bess video bro!

[@billramsey800]

Well excellent 👍

[@jinfree0815]

Great video as always Nick. Quick question, I have a 93 trooper with aisin manual locking hubs. Is it okay to use 4L with the hubs unlocked? I find it easier to drive steep hills using 4L but 4x4 are not necessary on pavement right? Also 4x4 is not r commended on paved road. So i was wondering if i can use 4L in 4x2 mode (hubs unlocked). Will i break anything? Thank you

[@LowRangeNick]

It is perfectly fine to use it like that. Having low range 2wd can be handy sometimes too.

[@dondle2]

Great family memories recorded for posterity.

[@willshunting]

Hey Nick.... still loving your channel. Seemingly random question I know, but are the wing mirror adjustment switches on your MUX backlit when the headlights are turned on? I'm embarrassed to admit that I've only just noticed they are not lit on my 2019 MUXy and I can't find anything in the owners manual or on the web!

[@LowRangeNick]

Haha I've been asked that a few times actually. No there not lol I know it's very wierd 🤣

[@willshunting]

@@LowRangeNick Thanks for the fast reply Nick. Guess Isuzu were worried about tempting drivers to try adjusting mirrors while underway at night? Anyway, at least I now know there's nothing wrong. Incidentally, I put in a light bar and installed an associated push switch in a vacant 'slot'. The switch has a backlit illuminated light bar symbol and a single backlit slot which only comes on when the headlights are on and the light bar has power to it. However, the light bar symbol stays backlit all the time i.e whether the headlights are on or not. I've tried to identify a different fuse slot position in the panel to the right of the steering wheel so that the light bar symbol is only backlit when the headlights are on, but no luck. Would be super grateful if you have any thoughts/ tip(s) on this one..... I know I'm probably being too fussy but I'm good at that!

[@LowRangeNick]

@@willshunting I just picked up my illumination power supply from the hill descent control switch. Just use a test light to locate the correct wire that is switched with the headlights.

[@willshunting]

@@LowRangeNick You're a gentleman and a scholar Sir Nick. Thanks mate.

[@LowRangeNick]

@@willshunting No worries at all :)

Hey Nick. I have been enjoying your content. Thanks for taking the time to do it. I had my SR5 stolen recently which I had been setting up gradually for an off-roader / future cape trip for about the last three years and I’m seriously considering starting again with an MUX. Could I ask two quick questions? 1) would you recommend a pre or post DPF model as a base to start from (my budget probably only gets me into a 2017/18 model at best)? 2) Do you do paid jobs to do work on these cars (I’m in brisbane, but would happily bring it up to the sunny coast to get someone who knows what they are doing to work on one. I can do some stuff, but doing things like fitting a rear locker is way above my skill level)?

[@LowRangeNick]

I really like the dpf models because of the 50nm extra torque, led headlights, 6 speed transmission. Infotainment system. If none of that bothers you then the pre dpf models are a great choice. I used to work at a 4wd shop on the Sunshine Coast but I have since moved away. Opposite lock are great for fitting the harrop e lockers.

[@OpenMindedMedia-connect]

@@LowRangeNick thanks mate. That’s awesome feedback

[@dinner85]

Four wheeled driving to Lord of the Rings sound track. Even had a Hobbit called Jimmy

[@OutdoorsSouthOz]

Have you driven the new MUX? Would you upgrade when time comes around?

[@LowRangeNick]

I haven't actually driven a new mu-x. I have driven a few new dmaxs at work and they are great. It would be a hard pick between mu-x and prado for me.
