Gday Guys and Gals!
In this video i show you the steps involved in fitting an AFN Bull Bar to your Isuzu Mu-X or D-max.
The first step before this video could even take place was to choose a Bull Bar. This began pretty much when i bought the 4wd and i was constantly looking around trying to find what i thought was the best bull bar for my isuzu mu-x.
After months of looking i thought i had settles in an Isuzu Motorsport bull bar, they looked solid but did require a bumper cut to fit to the vehicle and in turn they stick out a lot further than a full bumper replacement bull bar.
After fitting my other accessories to the mu-x a few months went by and AFN released the full bumper replacement bull bar for the face lift 2017-2019 models. I was stoked as soon as i saw pictures of this bar and i knew that was the bar i wanted on my mu-x.
Now i had the bull bar at home and it was ready to install to the mu-x. Now i am the type of person who cant wait to get accessories onto my 4wd so once it was at home i had to get a start on it straight away!
So after work i began the process of removing the bumper, grille and inner guard liners and then removing all of the bumper bracing. After removing everything i began fitting the AFN Bull Bar brackets to the chassis and then the winch cradle. I had a domin8r winch left over from my old 80 series landcruiser so it was a no brainer to chuck that in while i was at it.
The next day we lifted the bull bar on and aligned everything and carried out the finishing touches.
I am super stoked with the AFN Australia Bull Bar and would recommend them to anybody as they are an incredible product.
Thanks alot for watching guys! If you enjoyed this video and would like to see more videos like this. Please like the video and Subscribe to my channel : )

G'day Nick, Would it be possible with the AFN bullbar to install the winch without removing the bulbar, or would it have to come off?
Hey mate, 6 months on, how is this bar fairing up to weather etc? Is the powder coating of good quality and welds etc? I owned an ARB on my last Prado and after 3 years, rust spots were appearing on the edges where the paint was extremely thin.
looks great
Hi Nick when are you going to do a video on how to fit a Transmission cooler thanks for all the past help Regards Bob
Looks great mate
dude,.your channel deserve a million view,.
Inspirational video LRNic. Waiting to get myself one.
What is the weight of the bar?
or for 200 bucks get it done professionally
Hi, greetings from Indonesia, I do have Mux in Indonesia and it is only 2.5lt 2wd. Doesnt have 3.0 It version It seems that you are a MUX expert. Kindly if you dont mind post a video about how to change fuel filter, and how to bleed an air out of the fuel system. Thxs
Hey Nick, nice looking MUX!.thinking about giving my DMAX intercooler a clean, reckon I could get it out if I take the grill off or would I have to take the front bumper off too?.cheers!.
Like an amphibi tank. Awesome
Hey Nick, can I ask what suspension lift you have fitted and what size tyres?
hey Nick… just wanted to check, if I want to replace the stock headlight unit with after market, do I need to take the bumper off to gain access to screws/nuts?
Hi nick are you still liking the MUX had any issues with it
it's a great looking bar. Shame they don't make one for the BT 50.
Looks really nice man should install a light bar on the bull bar that will look really good
Nice video mate how much did the project cost
Nice vid nic just purchased a sx dmax spacecab its being converted into a six wheeler lazy axle to carry a slide on camper so weight is of importance on any accessories we ad so what is the weight of this bar lm comparing it to a smart bar but i love the look of the afn cheers Phil
Hi Nick, you have great prior knowledge when undertaking these installs, have you done them before? Wondering if you are a mechanic.
Hello Nick ,just found your channel and I am enjoying your great content! I have been watching especially closly, for I am in the market for a new 4×4 as well, and have grown up in the toyota ecosystem.
Being a creature of habit, I automatically thought hilux, but i got to say the isuzu mux has got me interested..but a part of me keeps saying I need difflocks to tackle touring conditions/fraser island ect…am Iwrong in assuming this? Would the MUX be as capable as the lux ect if you had drivers of equal skill? 50- 60 k is alot to spend on a vehicle, and would love to hear why the mux is the way you decided to go..thanks again for the great content!
Great work mate. I wanted an AFN bar for my Dmax but it was a 4 month wait and we didn't have the time. They are the best looking bars with the full bumper replace.
Wow! This video's awesome. I kinda wish I hadn't asked the car dealer to install bull bars onto my DMax. I wasn't confident enough to install them myself. But after watching this vid, I reckon it'll be doable. Thanks for the informational videos.
Thanks for the comprehensive video. Those recovery points you mentioned, what are there rating (kg)?
looking great Nick. Cheers Steve
GOOOD JOB! I really need to see a rear tow hitch install for MU X please do a video for one ,, so I could copy….looking at mine its the rear spare in the way, Ill DIY someday….Thanks!
