WHY AN ISUZU DMAX 4JJ3?
Personally I love how incredible the 4JJ3 has been! Tommy (my husband) also specialises in all things 4J related and he will tell you first hand how much can be done performance wise while maintaining reliability. So getting the 2021 4JJ3 when it came out was a no brainer. Going from a Nissan Navara D40 to this car has been a huge difference in drivability, reliability is easier to maintain/modify.
SUSPENSION
SOLVE OFFROAD
3" FOX lift kit with Tough Dog UCA in the front. Rear is set up with 550-750kg Terrian Tamer Parabolics with Remote Res FOX Shocks.
In my opinion Suspension is one of, if not the most important mod you can do on your rig! This Fox suspension has been incredible and rides like a cloud on all different surfaces and conditions from Corrugations in the Outback and Towing to Beach driving on Fraser Island.
ENGINE MODS
PERFORMANCE TOURERS 4X4
We have currently added Genuine upgraded injectors, Secondary fuel Filter, PWR F/M Intercooler, Intercooler Hard Pipes, And of Course The ALPHATECH ECU! The car has been tuned by performance tourers and has 3 modes, OFF, TUNE 1 AND TUNE 2 (which has over 200hp)!
And a whole lot more!
This improves fuel economy and drivability offroad!
TRAY & CANOPY
MITS ALLOY
This is the EVO2 Tray and canopy package from Mits Alloy that I have been running for 3 years! MITS do offer a life time warranty on all their gear but im proud to say I've never had a single issue! These things are built to last! Plus I love that I have been able to set up the internals to suit what kind of adventure/ Trip I will be going on!
Id 100% recommend MITS Alloy to anyone Planing a build.
ROOF TOP TENT, AWNING & GEAR
DRIFTA STOCKTON
RTT Bush Cruiser 1.2 - HD Awning 270 with acsess hole and LED built in lights, Camp Chairs, Fire pits, Pizza Ovens, You name it and these guys have it! All your camping gear and needs!
DC 'THISISLIVIN10'
BAR WORK
BULL BAR - MY21 AFN
SCRUB BARS & SLIDERS - MADE BY KINSELA KUSTOMS.
Personally I went with the AFN Bar because I think it compliments the shape of the new Dmax nicely and the hoops also provide protection From the Critters when we head out west. Also fitted with a Drivetech Winch and factor 55.
However I did not love their scrub bars and sliders, hence why i had my own made with Kinsela and im STOKED with how they turned out!
WHEELS & TYRES
METHOD WHEELS: NV HD | MATTE BLACK
TOYO TYRES: MT 305/70/16
Some of you may know that previously had steel Rims which were great for thrashing around but I must say I am loving this new look.
The HD Alloys from Method have done some tracks and KMs now and they still look brand new!
SNORKEL & AIRBOX
INHOUSE FABRICATIONS
I love the fact that I can pop the bonnet and see how dirty my filter is, especially before or during a long trip in a convoy.
The factory Airbox is poorly Designed, The one from In-House Fab looks, sounds and works great!
