Episode 4 of the BORDERLAND BUILDS Series!
The new Isuzu DMAX gets some must-have 4x4 accessories to prep us for the upcoming big lap of Aus! We fit the DMAX out at Opposite Lock Breakfast Creek with an Opposite Lock Bull Bar, scrub bars and side steps, a Rough Country Winch, 3 inch Redback Exhaust, a Safari Armax Snorkel and Direction Plus Catch can and Pre-filter. We film the entire install and chat about why we chose these products to make this DMAX our ultimate ute tourer.
Join us as we build our ultimate rig to tour Australia in. Straight after the Build Series, we’re doing a lap of Australia in the new build so stay tuned!
Products we chose for the DMAX:
- Opposite Lock Bar work, Diff Breathers and Gearbox Breathers - oppositelock.c...
- Rough Country Winch - oppositelock.c...
- Redback Exhaust - redbackexhaust...
- Direction Plus Catch, Diesel Prefilter and Throttle Controller - directionplus....

Prefilter for Safari works well for touring. It actually keeps out dust and rain and insects. Prefilter being 7 inch cyclonic head. Ugly but it works.
Thanks for the advice! Will look into this :)
Love the build and the videos is there much more noise with the red back exhaust? Cheers
DPF back a bit of a waste, it is already restricted at DPF. Cool though.
Can’t wait for this sic build to be getting on the road
Full test about to be underway!!
Ps. The bloke in this video looks like you??
Cant wait to see the car out and about with these amazing mods guys 👌🏼
🙏🤩🤩thanks!! Can’t wait
THANK YOU FOR DETAILED VIDEO
You're welcome!
what came in the bull bar kit ?
didn't know these guys were so close to me, keen to check them out for my next Dmax upgrade
The team were really good in there, we were very happy with the attention to detail. And we’ve done 4 months of full time travel now (including old Tele track etc) and haven’t had any issues with anything they fit 👌🏻
Who wears short shorts? MATTY P WEARS SHORT SHORTS!
Also, something about 4WD's.
Mad keen for what comes next!
😂😂 I like ‘em. Knees need to breathe too you know!
Not sure about a few things. The winch - how do you know it is well made? Until you see a winch in bits you can't really know how it is constructed and the grade of materials used - but maybe you have? And the snorkel. Yes needed if you are doing deep crossings. But the dirty/dusty air thing is really a bit of tale. Having spent long periods off road I am yet to see any evidence that this is true and in fact fine particles tend to rise and they are the worst when they get into your air system. Also, pushing air through a tube with bends is highly inefficient as per simple physics. Maybe this is more a sales pitch the manufacturers run?
Anyhoo, have you used the winch many times and has it held up on heavy long pulls? How is the bull bar faring?
Thanks for checking out the video! We have been really happy with all the barwork on the DMAX since having it installed for our big lap. The winch has definitely suited our needs so far and has performed without issue in the situations we have had to use it for :)
What recovery points are those? OL? Does it come with the bar?
They’re Roadsafe recovery points, which are additional to the bar. We ordered them through OL though and they fit them for us 😀. (We decided to paint them ourselves before fitting - they come in yellow).
