G'day Guys and Gals

In todays video Lisa and I take our family out to Amamoor State Forest for an Off-road challenge and overland touring trip. In this video Lisa is driving the 2018 Isuzu Mu-x and I am driving my 2023 Suzuki Jimny JB74.

The Isuzu Mu-x has been modified for off-road driving and overland touring with a range of modifications from 2 inch Outback Armour suspension lift kit, AFN bull bar, SCF rock sliders, Oricom UHF, Fuel vector rims, Falken wildpeak tyres and a rear harrop e locker.

The Suzuki Jimny is stock standard and has no modifications yet. It has 15" rims with the standard tyre size 195/80r15. The Suzuki Jimny is a great off-road vehicle straight from the factory. With front and rear live axles on coil springs the Jimny is a tough off-roader at heart. It pairs its great driveline with the all grip 4x4 traction control system which acts as a BLD or brake lock differential. When a wheel is registered as is is spinning freely as if it has lost traction the wheel will be braked via the abs system to divert drive to the wheel that is still on the ground. This system works really well and means that the vehicle is very capable off-road on 4wd tracks.

The Suzuki Jimny JB74 surprised me at how capable it was off-road. I have previously owned multiple Suzuki 4wd's including 2 of the older Suzuki Jimny's, Suzuki Sierra and a Suzuki LJ81 ute. Suzuki have done a great job maintaining the tough off-road ability of the Suzuki Jimny JB74. They also have done a great job of upgrading everything in the Suzuki Jimny as well. One of my favourite features of the 2023 Suzuki Jimny Jb74 is the 9" infotainment system with android auto and apple car play. I am able to run my Gaia GPS topographical maps through the head unit when we go on 4x4 trips. This means I can actively track where we have been and where we are heading.

This was Lisa's first 4wd trip with her behind the wheel by herself. She has been 4wding with me for a long time but mainly in the passenger seat. She has driven multiple times off-road before but I was always in the passenger seat to guide her. In this trip Lisa took the reigns off the mighty Isuzu Mu-x and tackled some tough off-road 4wd tracks through the hills.

Lisa did a great job of driving the 2018 Isuzu MU-x through some tough off-road trails. She tackled the trails in a slow controlled manner and was able to negotiate them all very safely. Lucky she was able to because she had our 2 daughters in the car :P

After we tackle some 4wd tracks around Amamoor State Forest we decide to head down to the camping area for some lunch and to let our Daughters out for a run around. Just at the end of camp is a nice 1km walk through the rain forest and along the creek. The walk was really easy and great for kids. Then we found a nice spot down by the creek to throw some rocks in the water and relax for a bit. What an awesome day!

I hope you enjoyed our out takes, we had a few funny moments in this trip like me almost loosing the drone in a big gum tree and Lisa not being able to get the valve cap off after I did it too tight.

I have fitted every modification to the Isuzu MU-X myself and really enjoy filming and teaching you guys how to do the same to your own 4x4 vehicles. The Suzuki Jimny JB74 is going to get a complete build series as well!
