Mate, it is another Nissan but the main thing is you got your Dad the most appropriate car for the money. He’ll be able to do the trips with you and that’s the most important thing!👍
touch base with Pete from ultimate 9 and recreate that build for your old man. Pete's GU is low wide stable and a monster offroad! i can see your old man hurting some feelings on 2" and 33's if you set him up right 😉😂😂
Great choice Tyler and Gary. Noting wrong with a crd, mines done 290k now. Definitely add tilix kit, welded intercooler, scanguage and egt gauge to the list as well.
Gary has done more to promote Isuzu, long before anyone else. He has shown the capabilities of the MUX. This is not a work ute but a family vehicle and he has demonstrated it's 4wd capabilities where even Isuzu has it seems, not been interested in demonstrating to this part of the market. I must commend your dad, Gary and yet disappointed that Isuzu hasn't approached him a year or two ago with a new MUX and said...here you go Gary, show what our MUX Isuzu is capable of doing. Shame.
Nice buy. You're right about the overall costs of making these more capable and functional, which many folk don't realise early on. In short, they cost heaps of cash to modify!
Who cares if it's a Toyota or a Nissan. The main thing is getting out there and having fun 👍 P.S I have a Toyota Landcruiser 😉 It's so good you can do this stuff with your Oldman ❤
Might not be the best for content, but it is the best for your old man. Very realistic build too for the every day battler out there, keen to see it keep up with you guys 👌
The auto diesel has a good transcooler setup just needs the transcooler in the radiator bypassed. If you want it to shift a bit firmer you can unplug the plug on the firewall where the clutch master on a manual would be.
The Jeep Wrangler would have been good and aren't as unreliable as some people think. People often complain about stuff breaking on Jeeps, but then give a blind eye to stuff breaking on Toyotas and Nissans when they go wrong. However, where you are, I think you made the right choice with the Patrol as it would be better supported. While there are excellent parts and accessories for Jeeps in Aus, the best stuff always found in US and you would be looking at having stuff shipped over. It would not have made much sense.
We love having Dad on the adventures Be interesting to keep it more average in modifications and see how far it can get Lockers, tyres , 2 inch lift, bush barriers , winch
Front mount cooler and intake kit from fabwitz. Solid Tensioner pulley coz they grenade Superior 3inch lift New front bullbar and winch Lights Simple dual battery system Front locker DONE.
Also service the auto and by pass/replace the auto rad cooler cause it'll fail filling the auto with coolant. The engine? Well, it's a time bomb unfortunately so treat it very kindly.
@@ericjohnson6802 it's a crd mate not a di will last forever if he gets it tuned by someone who knows there stuff. Ie evolution tuning 👌 mines got nearly 400k and no blow by still kicking on with the stock turbo to 😅
Yep, keep the lift as low as possible. This way, it will still look good on 33s and will be more stable on the tracks than your GU. Just go longer shocks and keep it simple for now. Garry is going to love it! 😎
Go Gazza. Mate, I'm right with Garry in every aspect. We had the forefather to the MUX, the mighty Isuzu built Holden Jackaroo, truly capable truck, loved them. Then went to 76, man are they the most overrated hyped up vehicle, Jackaroo was so much better, so sold 76 & went back to "Jack" until my son, yes "My Son" talked me into a new GU ZD30 CRC auto, yes the auto was my option as I love auto off road, wife wanted auto but & here's the big but, as the GU model run had finished dealers were stuck with auto's, manuals had sold like hot cakes, so we found it really easy playing dealers off against each other, all wanting to off load their old auto stock. Between inland dealer, sth coast dealer & central coast dealer (NSW), we wrangled them all down to $48,500 on road, but drove off the lot, brand new on road for an agreed $49,000 from central coast dealer as theirs was silver, not white hence we paid $500 premium for it, hahaha. Mine is a feb 2016 build so has a few additional tricks added in the last of the run, but I can vouch, Garry will be pleased as punch with this truck. I installed secondary fuel filter & catch can ASAP as I was aware of Grenade namesake and figured I'd stop any injector complications from new. I truly curious how well it runs 33" as I've never ventured past 32", auto fusses enough on 32", hence 33" would be annoying I'd suspect. Edit: Tyler, just noticed it's running original front mud flaps, have to question the 33" tyre claim as 33" tyres tear the original moulded flaps off, even brand new 32" muddies give them a hard time alone. You guys will be blown away (wrong choice of words) wrapped by the ZD30 CRC as I have been, it's a strong donk. Wealie. NB. Likewise we held onto Jackaroo untill rego expired, then sold it to a mate whom was more obsessed with the Jackaroo model than I was, hard to believe, but yes, there are so Jack phonetics out there.
As solid as these are they don't do tough tracks with mild mods. had a 2008 aswell for 5 years, setup like a tourer and it just didn't perform with the weight, size and lack of power. I've changed to a np300 nav, Its way nicer to drive and very capable as you would know. That said I have a ti 2009 tb48 that build with no intention of touring, flexy lift, 35's and barwork it puts my old gu to shame.
Even though it’s another Patrol, the GU4 has a number of differences to your current GU, it’s a 3L diesel which is different to the petrol GU and and TD42 in the GQ. Looking forward to seeing the build!
Awesome about bloody time, I feel for the old fella, actually Tyler you took 2 more steps, the GU TB then the GQ and 3 engines later! right I'm watching the rest, more coms to come probably. Another Nissan🤣3.0l 🤣 Engine swap coming in again!🤣 well congrats to your Dad, chassis and body looks good, not convinced on the 3.0 without some sig upgrades like Rad/FMIC etc! 33s seem a bit light for a GU, why you aren't matching guys on 35s! 37s are overkill agree, but clearance after you and Burto have shredded the tracks he's gonna need 35s! I still see an engine swap, imo the only engine worth having in a LC or Patrol is a 4.2 unless its a 70s for the V8 and rightly so not right car for him! Its just what's right for the size of these rigs, I don't know what the hell Nissan were thinking when they made the 3.0 and 2.8 versions of the TDi, something Toyota never did either just saying🤪 Roll on the build, surprised you didn't have Burto with ya, he must have disliked the 3.o engine option also🤣 End of the day as long as ya Dad is happy, no just build it into a sic rig for him, don't knobble his arse huh,🤘
Would have been nice to see another landcruiser on the channel. Sure its hard to find a diesel auto landcruiser, but thats all part of the build right? And we all know Demis 80 isnt gonna see the tracks it deserves to see. IMO the Di 3 litre got a bad wrap because people were trying to drive it like they usually did a patrol. Sure theres a few mods that can keep it alive, but the biggest way is to not drive it like a patrol when its an overstrung overworked undersized engine.
The GUs are great 4x4s we went the same way from a 17 MUX to a 15 GU only regret is fuel economy. Our MUX was making the dreaded police siren sound in the turbo so it had to go, much happier with the GU.
OK I take back a lot that I said thinking poor dad in most videos having to bail on certain tracks having to split from family...I honestly was wondering why you wouldn't build the MUX....I forget that maybe secrets are best kept 😉 cause now I'm excited for this even though its another Patrol. Just a little dig, what do you mean by 10yr tourer as in everything you put on will last 10yrs like Harry's build but found out some parts are not all the hype or do you mean something to keep for 10yrs....be careful because Harry been left explaining that some parts are not up to the task replacing them a little red faced....remember you boys are out doing the tough tracks months of the year....nothing no matter how solid will break especially doing the content you deliver 😉
So more of the same your trips now. Patrols and a Cruiser. No IFS 4wd's. Boring. We can see Patrols and Cruisers on a million other channels already. Watching your dad go for it in a medium sized IFS wagon was always awesome. Not now. No reason for me to watch your channel now.
No , before 2007 the 3Lhad a bad reputation and the problem was addressed so Gary's should be Aok and of course I wrote this mid sentence and then you said the exact thing 🙄
@@TylerThompson90 that would be so great thank you I’m trying to buy my first 4wd and need something economical and proper but tb’s use to much fuel and zd’s have such a bad wrap so it would be great to see how this goes on proper trips and touring
Have owned my identical (2008 aswell) wagon but manual for coming on 7 years now and no intention on selling her any time soon. Have done over 120k on it (has near on 300k) and has been running 21psi factory turbo on a custom remap since about 230k with no massive issues. Definately get a boost controller if it doesnt have one already and maybe egr block and upgrade the intercooler even if just a cheap ebay welded item. Theres a reasonable these are so popular!!! Mine sees alot of off road albeit mainly beach stuff they are a great balance of capable off roaders and comfy long distance tourers!
Not the grenade when it's DI. Patrol along better than the Toyota alternative 100%. Be good to educate the public on the DI there's a lot of myths about the engine.
Hit n miss on the zd my 01 di has done 430xxx still healthy only thing let me down was the injector pump 3 of my mates crd grenaded before 200 k But you hear all sorts of stories
Love that’s it’s a 3l but I’ve got a Di with 600 000 on her and best 4wd I’ve had all I’ve hear with the crd as soon as they hit 160 000 to 300 000 they go boom and heard of heaps of di making way more then 600
the mux did wat it needed for Garry n now dad wants the next step in his touring/offroading life. looking forward to the build that Garry has in mind for the big Pat. so awesome Garry.
Another Nissan..yea! Nice pick up. Looking forward to seeing how your dad mod's this GU. I just purchased a clean low klm, Navara this week... Already added new A/t's 👍👍
Don't overlook the best upgrade after front locker - a valve body upgrade. This will give engine braking in 1st low, a massive benefit offroad. Maybe some 63% reduction gears as well, so Gary can go down and up knarly stuff easily. Throttle control - yes, helps massively on bouncy uphill stuff. Toss the factory intercooler because it's leaking and get at least a welded one. Check if it's got a Tillix valve to support the boost control. Put a second battery in the front wired in parallel so winching gets enough power supply.
I was thinking this exact thing on your last high country vid when Gary had to sit some of those tracks out. I honestly thought you would go down a different road than another patrol but i completely understand your reasoning as to why you got it. And lets all be honest, you cant beat a patrol for off road work. The mux has been great but its most definitely time.
I paid 36K for full grandpa spec never been off road, always garaged, 1 elderly owner from new 88,000k's 2006 TI 5speed auto 4.8, even the Nissan headphones for outdated factory TI option dvd player are still in sealed packaging that's how grandpa spec it is 😂
Great buy I’m also looking for a newer secondhand 4x4, looked at lots of 80 100 & 105 descent ones from $25k with 500000km+ to $65k for a 250000km, you can’t even insure them for the money people are asking. Switch to looking at patrols and what a revaluation from $20k some with under 200000km nice cars and a great platform to build on with money to spare. Very interested in what you’s will do with it 👍.
How many kms on the engine? $22k is a boody good deal. If the 3l blows up (unlikely anyway), 4jj1 swap it from the mux then you'll have the best of both
Hey bro how would you rate the reliability of the 2016 MUX? What broke and how was maintenance? Also what mods did you install? Would be keen on a vid that covers this, cheers
That S4 LSD is not a good unit. The early GU and GQ LSD is rock solid but the S4 is junk. I had to replace mine as it had become an open center (No LSD). Check it before heading out on the tracks.
Tyler just watch that engine. I had the CRD 3litre that u got. I went thru 2 of them ( grenaded on me ). I've found when talking to patrol owners. If they own the DI 3 ltre they say the CRD is the grenade. If I speak to the CRD owners they say it's the DI that's the grenade. My first CRD grenaded 30,000ks after I bought it & caught fire, ( at least it didnt cost me anything due to insurance ). The second, which was a brand new replacement, lasted 20,000ks. I now have a Chev motor in it. Problem solved.
And for once a performance enhancing "forward facing" snorkel. Please... If you choose to be irresponsible & install one of those performance robbing rear facing snorkels, explain to us, your audience, why the hell you would do something that stupid. I am yet to hear a single intelligent explanation as to why idiots put those ridiculous toys on their 4wd's.
Stock GU on 33s is significantly more capable and more durable than a modified IFS ute on 35s. I did similar, had the a PX1 Ford Ranger, thought IFS was suitable but instead found out CVs are consumable items.
6.2 Cummins Gary! 105 comes also with a 1HD-FTE, but that doesn't matter once Gary shoehorns that 6.2 Cummins in Plans?? Got to get those strobe led whip aerials
Those 4 speed autos are very highly geared in low range (only 24.6:1). A set of reduction gears and/or regear diffs to 4.625:1 will really make a difference.
Hey Tyler and Gary, love the relationship you fellas have together and shared interests ! I owned a GU ZD30 for many years….. fantastic 4by out in the bush and on road everyday driving ! Absolute must have spare to carry is a genuine Nissan serpentine belt and tensioner assembly with pulley fitted (please don’t go aftermarket just don’t last) its not if - but when - the bushes and hydraulic arm of the assembly will flog out and give you trouble on the tracks ! Change just the tensioner pulley annually with all the off-road work you will be doing, Also doesn’t hurt to carry a genuine MAF sensor they can be temperamental and a show stopper too. All the best fellas….
Mate, it is another Nissan but the main thing is you got your Dad the most appropriate car for the money. He’ll be able to do the trips with you and that’s the most important thing!👍
💯 %

Pete's GU is a weapon off road and Pete is very good driver
Another Patrol, boring. Buying an appropriate car for your dad instead of the channel, well done. Thanks for sharing. Cheers
Great to see Gary getting something more capable! All the best with the build before the weekend!
Thanks mate! We have been hooking in 😁
How exciting Gary !
Great choice Tyler and Gary. Noting wrong with a crd, mines done 290k now. Definitely add tilix kit, welded intercooler, scanguage and egt gauge to the list as well.
Awesome buy. You won’t wipe the smile off your dads face when we takes it off road
Definitely!
We have a crd just clicked over 360k bone stock and no major issues
Being bone stock probably helps, a lot of people boost them to the moon and then complain when they break.

Nice buy. You're right about the overall costs of making these more capable and functional, which many folk don't realise early on. In short, they cost heaps of cash to modify!
We do like Gary , we need some more shots of him with his shirt off , he is the star of the show.
Not a budget build but a comfort build. Spend it where you know it needs it and have fun trying things on the rest
Yeah for sure!
That coolant pressure tank should be full,🤞it’s doesn’t have a cracked head.
Buying an older 4x4 to drive around… you’re a man who knows best! Haha.. the GU will be perfect… don’t make em like they use to…
Makes perfect sense to get the patrol. Happy driving
Who cares if it's a Toyota or a Nissan. The main thing is getting out there and having fun 👍
P.S I have a Toyota Landcruiser 😉
It's so good you can do this stuff with your Oldman ❤
Might not be the best for content, but it is the best for your old man. Very realistic build too for the every day battler out there, keen to see it keep up with you guys 👌
Yeah for sure!
Looks good! Gary will enjoy his new wheels. That Mux has done a fantastic job.
Good buy. You probably have some spare parts for it already.
These things are rare now .. any channel doing these over a 79 is automatically 10 plus bonus points in life this should be awesome
Gday, bloody good to see Gary stepping up a bit, the MUX has done a fantastic job but the time is here, great video mate, cheers
The auto diesel has a good transcooler setup just needs the transcooler in the radiator bypassed. If you want it to shift a bit firmer you can unplug the plug on the firewall where the clutch master on a manual would be.
Don't unplug the resistor.
The Jeep Wrangler would have been good and aren't as unreliable as some people think. People often complain about stuff breaking on Jeeps, but then give a blind eye to stuff breaking on Toyotas and Nissans when they go wrong.
However, where you are, I think you made the right choice with the Patrol as it would be better supported. While there are excellent parts and accessories for Jeeps in Aus, the best stuff always found in US and you would be looking at having stuff shipped over. It would not have made much sense.

Be interesting to keep it more average in modifications and see how far it can get
Lockers, tyres , 2 inch lift, bush barriers , winch
Front mount cooler and intake kit from fabwitz.
Solid Tensioner pulley coz they grenade
Superior 3inch lift
New front bullbar and winch

We had the forefather to the MUX, the mighty Isuzu built Holden Jackaroo, truly capable truck, loved them.

Mine is a feb 2016 build so has a few additional tricks added in the last of the run, but I can vouch, Garry will be pleased as punch with this truck.
I installed secondary fuel filter & catch can ASAP as I was aware of Grenade namesake and figured I'd stop any injector complications from new.
I truly curious how well it runs 33" as I've never ventured past 32", auto fusses enough on 32", hence 33" would be annoying I'd suspect.
Edit: Tyler, just noticed it's running original front mud flaps, have to question the 33" tyre claim as 33" tyres tear the original moulded flaps off, even brand new 32" muddies give them a hard time alone.
You guys will be blown away (wrong choice of words) wrapped by the ZD30 CRC as I have been, it's a strong donk.

NB. Likewise we held onto Jackaroo untill rego expired, then sold it to a mate whom was more obsessed with the Jackaroo model than I was, hard to believe, but yes, there are so Jack phonetics out there.
Sounds like you got yourself a good deal mate! It currently has 285/70R17 on it I believe which is a 32.7 inch tyre
I felt sorry for him having to go around on easier tracks or missing out. He will love it

@@TylerThompson90 appreciate the reply 👍🏻
Dunno why you’re concerned about it being another patrol. It means if something breaks your likely to have spares to fix it and have less to carry.
Depending what your old boy is doing with the mux it could be worth swapping the 4jj1 into this patrol. That could be fun

Take a leaf out of Tim Bates and keep the build light weight.
Hit n miss on the zd my 01 di has done 430xxx still healthy only thing let me down was the injector pump
3 of my mates crd grenaded before 200 k
But you hear all sorts of stories
4x4 Jesus no more. This car is already better than the brand new 2.8 76 series. Its roomier, automatic and coil rear.
Tell Gazza I'll give him $1500 and a carton for the mux
nice car. i recently got my 1990 efi 80 series with reg for 6.5k so happy and cant wait to see the build vids on your dads new
car
Can't argue your reasons but the thing with the MUX that will be missed was seeing how a more basic vehicle handled the obstacles.
Love that’s it’s a 3l but I’ve got a Di with 600 000 on her and best 4wd I’ve had all I’ve hear with the crd as soon as they hit 160 000 to 300 000 they go boom and heard of heaps of di making way more then 600
Sad to see the Isuzu go, love my 280 Frontier, but i get the bigger vehicle 😎🤙
Awesome un molestered rig
Look forward to how the old man sets it up 👍
I thought dad was gunna get an 80 series wif a Barra motor
Leave it somewhat stock as possible so your average follower can relate
Only need tires and recovery points. The other Patrols in the group have winch and its not like it will need it, it is a Patrol after all.
305/70/17 are a great size for a Nissan patrol still big but are legal
A worthy build series indeed! 🎉
Love it! Nothing wrong with “another bloody Patrol”!
Guys I’m broke are there any $500 patrols for sale
Next episode:How to install Barra into Nissan Patrol😅
the mux did wat it needed for Garry n now dad wants the next step in his touring/offroading life. looking forward to the build that Garry has in mind for the big Pat. so awesome Garry.
Top coolant tank being half empty is not a good sign on these
Another Nissan..yea! Nice pick up.
Looking forward to seeing how your dad mod's this GU.

Yeah nice mate!
Those 3 litres are to guttless for any decent tyres or grunt off road
Great choice! That would be my next choice as well
Great choice, he's not gonna know himself

I paid 36K for full grandpa spec never been off road, always garaged, 1 elderly owner from new 88,000k's 2006 TI 5speed auto 4.8, even the Nissan headphones for outdated factory TI option dvd player are still in sealed packaging that's how grandpa spec it is 😂
Haha that's awesome!
How much for the MUX?
Great buy I’m also looking for a newer secondhand 4x4, looked at lots of 80 100 & 105 descent ones from $25k with 500000km+ to $65k for a 250000km, you can’t even insure them for the money people are asking. Switch to looking at patrols and what a revaluation from $20k some with under 200000km nice cars and a great platform to build on with money to spare. Very interested in what you’s will do with it 👍.
Yeah definitely get better value for money with a Patrol! Cheers
How many kms on the engine? $22k is a boody good deal. If the 3l blows up (unlikely anyway), 4jj1 swap it from the mux then you'll have the best of both
197 000KM mate. Definitely could do that one day!
Hey bro how would you rate the reliability of the 2016 MUX? What broke and how was maintenance? Also what mods did you install? Would be keen on a vid that covers this, cheers
Can look at doing a video on it mate!
That S4 LSD is not a good unit. The early GU and GQ LSD is rock solid but the S4 is junk. I had to replace mine as it had become an open center (No LSD). Check it before heading out on the tracks.
Yeah okay cheers for the tip, we will see how we go!
At least its diesel this time..
Tyler just watch that engine. I had the CRD 3litre that u got. I went thru 2 of them ( grenaded on me ). I've found when talking to patrol owners. If they own the DI 3 ltre they say the CRD is the grenade. If I speak to the CRD owners they say it's the DI that's the grenade. My first CRD grenaded 30,000ks after I bought it & caught fire, ( at least it didnt cost me anything due to insurance ). The second, which was a brand new replacement, lasted 20,000ks. I now have a Chev motor in it. Problem solved.
Yeah okay cheers for the tips mate!
And for once a performance enhancing "forward facing" snorkel.
Please... If you choose to be irresponsible & install one of those performance robbing rear facing snorkels, explain to us, your audience, why the hell you would do something that stupid.
I am yet to hear a single intelligent explanation as to why idiots put those ridiculous toys on their 4wd's.
😂😂😂
Dash not melted on top
Great choice, looks mint
Transcooler, intercooler,tune from Evolution tuning. In beerwah Queensland
Stock GU on 33s is significantly more capable and more durable than a modified IFS ute on 35s.
I did similar, had the a PX1 Ford Ranger, thought IFS was suitable but instead found out CVs are consumable items.
6.2 Cummins Gary!
105 comes also with a 1HD-FTE, but that doesn't matter once Gary shoehorns that 6.2 Cummins in
Plans?? Got to get those strobe led whip aerials
congrats!
Up the zeedee
That’s clean GU now let’s modified it mate full bar works and maybe changed it to a TD42
FTE swap
Those 4 speed autos are very highly geared in low range (only 24.6:1). A set of reduction gears and/or regear diffs to 4.625:1 will really make a difference.
Hey Tyler and Gary, love the relationship you fellas have together and shared interests ! I owned a GU ZD30 for many years….. fantastic 4by out in the bush and on road everyday driving ! Absolute must have spare to carry is a genuine Nissan serpentine belt and tensioner assembly with pulley fitted (please don’t go aftermarket just don’t last) its not if - but when - the bushes and hydraulic arm of the assembly will flog out and give you trouble on the tracks ! Change just the tensioner pulley annually with all the off-road work you will be doing, Also doesn’t hurt to carry a genuine MAF sensor they can be temperamental and a show stopper too. All the best fellas….
Congrats Dad miles of smiles ahead. Hope you engaged all the off-road settings on the test drive. What’s dad going to do with the MUX?
