Love your D-MAX build. I have a 23 D-MAX too but an SX crew cab chasis. The reason behind the SX was to start on a blank canvas (so to speak) and build it up to what I want. I have installed your cv boot shields and bonnet struts and they work great. Impressed with those headlights. Looking forward to some more content. Cheers, BobbyB.
Great video. Would have been even better if you explained how to apply the correct tension
Awesome content mate, I’ve got a dmax here needing some Munji upgrades from you. Looking forward to following the rest of this build and will definitely contact you soon.
Where can I buy this engine mount?
I get clunks going in and out of steep driveways/dropping into gutters. Do you think this issue would also cause this?
Surely this vid makes you want to build a new motor for this beast! Always wanted to one day tour Frazer with my collie and your rodeo such a well built rig!
Maybe...😜 Just put a post up on our socials mate. All the answers are over there.
Hi Jared. Good advice. I have done all my plugs with dielectric grease barr that one you did on vid. I can't for the life of me get it to disengage. Is there a trick to removal or a knack I am missing? Cheers!
My auto BT50 did this. Rattles on idol some times until it breaks more. Mazda inspected a few times over the space of a few months and didn’t find it. Someone online posted there’s, I stuck my camera on video in and saw the same cracks, both sides completely cracked and centre bush flogged. Took back to Mazda and they didn’t still even diagnose it after I showed them photos and told them what happened. Didn’t accept their no, they reinspect and agreed to finally replace. I suspect it has happened to a lot of these unknown to the driver yet!
Rack end strengtheners from r&r on the website? Did they continue with them? Were they effective?
Hey quick question do your 2 inch body lift kits have a gear stick/ lever extension i dont know if this is a thing or not just been told about it but didnt see it in the body lift video
Great channel, great products, great info! My stock 2023 MUX since day 1 brand new has a feeling of movement/ play through the steering wheel whenever the suspension is moving (compression or rebound). Most noticeable when stoping at a set of lights and the suspension rebounds from compression, you can feel movement back and forth through the steering wheel that matches suspension movement. No noise/ knock whatsoever, just a very noticeable feeling of movement through the steering wheel Do you think movement in the rack might be the culprit? Of course ISUZU couldn’t find the fault, a quick bit of silicone spray on the suspension pivot points and out the door… Thanks MUNJI👍
It would be great if you could swing me a call and have a chat 0404 797 034 There is a few things in the front of these that we notice but the rack adjustments is nearly always the main issue. Next is the racks design in general. Its pretty ordinary unfortunately
@@Munji4x4Accessories thanks so much mate I really appreciate it I’ll give you a buzz in the next couple of days 👍
Just bought a Isuzu Dmax 2024 brand new, same symptoms. I noticed it since very first day, I took it to the dealership with just 1000kms and they couldn’t find anything, they said “it’s normal” in these trucks 😢
Great information video. Thanks for sharing this!
Great information, thank for sharing.
Hey guys is neg 44 a must could I run any other rim offset ???
Does this apply to 4jj2? I feel the ladder chassis has been engineered with a tad too much flex causing a few issues. The issue video subject mount, inner guard cracks and the body mount failures imho and the suspect re this being the flimsy front bolt up cross member. Replaced that myself with the cross member from Superior Engineering for diff drop. That plus full chassis Boos Bash plated to transfer case. Combined chassis flex reduced imho and as a result less stress on engine mounts, on body mounts and other components reducing failures imho. This is just a theory of mine. Keep up the good work and mod ideas mate.
Thanks, mate. Yes, bash plates will increase rigidity, but crossmembers won't unless there is diagonal bracing in it. The flex in the chassis is to improve drive quality along with a lot of other aspects ie. Softer, body mounts and engine mounts. Some are just simply poorly designed but great for spare parts departments... This one here is directly related to the new rear engine mount/gearbox mount on the manual and auto of the 4jj3 platform.
When’s the new video of the 4j coming how’s it all travelling keen to see a new video mate!!
Excellent video, same issue on my 2022 since new. First service this week and they couldn’t find anything, I’ll take it back and ask about this specifically.
Make sure they jack the car up off the ground, put the wheel on full lock to the left and move the wheel front to rear by the wheel and watch the rack move up and down within the body of the rack.
@@Munji4x4Accessories Thanks heaps I will do 👍
@astingordon-cooke6633; what was the symptom you noticed when driving yours- did you have a feeling of movement/ play through the steering wheel? Trying to diagnosis my issue, having the same problem with ISUZU, they checked but say they can’t find anything Thanks heaps 👍
@@mattpearson5339 So my car goes in tomorrow to be inspected but my symptoms are a very noticeable judder/play in the steering rack that feels vertical more so then front to back. It is audible with the stereo off in specific situations such as roundabouts and very flat/smooth bitumen. It is mainly prominent when turning at 50+ kmph.
@@astingordon-cooke6633 that sounds very similar to mine, hope it all goes well for you with today’s check and keen to hear how you go! To feel movement through the steering wheel in my mind it has to be the rack or the column itself, and given MUNJI’s video it’s looking like play in the rack is a likely cause on both our vehicles Fingers crossed for you and let me know how you go 😊👍
What rims are they?
G'day mate These are 16 x 10 neg 44 beadlocks. Thought I'd try out some of this guys stuff: facebook.com/marketplace/profile/1105204575/?ref=permalink&mibextid=dXMIcH
are the billet parts only required for a newer model dmax (2021-current)? I just see that there isnt any for a older 2012-2020 dmax on you website
G'day mate only needed for this model because of the bolted style body mount. Earlier models just need a plate cut up and welded in place, much easier.
@@Munji4x4Accessories cheers guys love your work 🙌
Do you have a PDF of these instructions? Thankyou
Hey mate, all of our instruction guides can be found here: munji.com.au/blogs/installation-guides Cheers!
I have Isuzu D-Max 2023 exterrain, 2 inches lifted. Do I need this? If yes, does this fit? Thank you
Promo SM ✨
those head lights. awesome.
Hey buddy. Yeah, cheers. I was pretty happy with the overall look of the modified standard lights. Gave the perfect look I was after.
The brackets for the bonnet struts look super professional, very nice detail
Thanks mate. It had to be an intricate design to make it work without any holes drilled but a lot of work to get it looking nice too. Cheers
Enjoying watching the build, keep up the good work!
Thanks mate. I'm really looking forward to our next few episodes before heading off on its first test trip. We have no idea what to expect tbh lol.
What a rig 👌🏻
Cheers mate. Cant wait to get it on the dyno after the first few mods
Great explanation of the tub load blocks mate 👌
Thanks mate. Its a pretty important load point thats often missed. I found out the hard way..
Good info especially with the tray bending without that block there. I gotta say though seems like lots of work and more importantly $$ just to run 35"s also I'm not a fan of cutting into the body mounts, but the billet parts you guys made were very nice. Again not my car, not having a go at all. However it does look good.
Thats a very honest bit of feedback mate cheers. I do appreciate it. The 35's are an over compensation but for this build its needed for a pure offroad rig. Normally I stick to the 33's or 35 AT's on my patrol but even for 33's with a big offset the chop is needed. If you get the clearance from castor adjustment you running a high risk of making the bumpsteer issue even worse. But these 35 are way too agressive for any street car, I do wanna check it out with a more sedate tire and offset 😉
masters of form over function. street cred over 4x4 ability 😂
DPFI, What is that for, pros and cons
What do you think of the pedders suspension?
Mate from what I've felt with it so far. I'm pretty sure it will be going in the bin. I will do my first trip with it to give it a good run but I'm already guessing a bouchy ride and kidneys failing 😆
Just bought one for my jackaroo same as the tf r9 rodeo. I broke my front diff and decided to get these. Dropping the whole front axel to replace a cv is fucked
Great Content!!
Can you drive with beadlocks on legally ?
I hear what you are saying about alloys vs steel , but LR wolf steel wheels are rated to 2200kg , wouldn't think there are many alloys rated at that. Great vid
More so with the suspension performance gain with ligthter components (these wheels are by far the heaviest set I've had to fit up lol) but the theory behind unsprung weight is critical. I totally understand the ease of repairs to steel rims too.
I believe that artic truck has cut the inner body panel to fit in those 35s and some body mount frame works. Btw Amazing content from you guys! Looking forward for the builds 🍻 cheers from sabah borneo!
G'day mate Yeah thats true. They do a great job of their builds hey. Thank you for the support, mate. Keen as to get this thing out on its first trip.
Nice work lads👌🏽
Thanks mate. The first offroad trip will show us more... might have to take the grinder with us just in case lol
Co2 tank so you dont need a compressor 🤞
Actually we will have the onboard compressure for these tanks. They are indeed holding tanks...
Is the air tank to quickly air up those huge 35" tyres?
Its amazing these tires at 7psi still hold up strong. Could be used but at 4500psi holding pressure I don't think the beadlocks will hold lol
@@Munji4x4Accessories Can't wait to see it on 7psi :D
@DanielSnare the side walls are very thick. Will be interesting to see how they go offroad..
Thanks this is very informative
Can you do a mods video on that earlier dmax you're wheeling? Looks mint
Definitely mate. The OG rig has a big list but I'll share some new videos on it too. Its been great car but daily driven too.
Show some more development for the early MUX, the bull bars and rocker bars out currently look hideous
Love it mate, so keen to see the future vids!
Running a little late with our next episode but she's looking a lot less like a written off rig but definitely looking more and more not road worthy lol (thats the plan though 😅)
u do UCAs for early Dmax?
We are so close to finalising them mate. We have already released our Series 1 (2003-2011) but the S2/S3 is sent out for second prototype manufacturing. So we are hoping this set is final and then get crackin with the production run.
@@Munji4x4Accessories absolutely cant wait !
I’ve just seen your 4JJ3 rig build video and see it’s a statutory wright off. Can you tell me what was the damage that made it a wright off. To me, the damage you’ve stated seems minor and won’t take much to make it drivable. It seems to me that the statutory wright off rules have got far to strict over the last decade.
G'day mate Its a shame to see go to waste at the minor amount of damage we have seen. -It has slight damage to the chassis plate that protects the power steering motor. -bent uca on left side -melted plastics from being close to a fire. -codes related to missing radars at rear. Other than that its seems fine. But being stolen recovery sometimes they do state unknown engine damage from being thrashed.. Still a pitty but a score for us to assist with further research and development.
Do the body lift first as I’m doing it soon and want to see how it’s done 😂
Might be a little something in upcoming episodes 🤙🏻
That's kool mate!! True pioneer 🇦🇺 Keep up the good work.
Thanks mate. I know there is gonna be a few hurdles but thats part of the fun right... Got our first few already which we will be showing over our next couple episodes. Come check it our some time mate. 🍻
Awesome work mate! Keen to see this build 🤙
Thanks mate. We are just about ready to release episode 2. With a bit of lift and wheels its gonna be huge lol. So much more to come so please stay tuned
Maaaate, can't wait to see what sort of monster this thing turns into!!! Also can't wait to see it out on the "private" tracks :D
As you know mate, so much planned but still so much yet to be decided. Thank you for all your help buddy
Wish you had more for the 4JJ1 MUX
What kind of things are you after? We are actually building up a MU (the original Mystery Utility MUX)
A decent-looking bull bar for starters, most of whats on offer for the 2013-2016 sticks out way too far and makes the MUX look like it has a massive underbite. AFN bar is good but it still juts out and ruins the approach angle, and the look. The style they developed for the 2020 DMAX looks great. @@jaredmcleod3999
A decent bull bar, all the ones available for the 2013-2016 look horrific@@jaredmcleod3999
Front bar for the 2013-2016 that doesn’t stick out. AFN bar is better but it’s still jutting out too far from the front of the car.
Dude, you are a natural on camera! I’m excited to see what products you come up with next 🔥 Have you considered making it a drift truck??
Hey hey buddy! Haha your just being nice 😅 Well power mods we are planning will allow for it mate. Any terrain drift rig!
