They bolt on to the same points as the factory bumper. Very common on Japimports

Dinger do you mean the chrome nudge bar like geeves said they are standard bolt on most jap 4x4s.
I will try and get a photo of the mounts I will be removing it soon to put the bulbar and winch on the wizard just got to get my Isuzu mojo back been a bit crook lately.
Had to have the wizard air con re gassed and a new pipe made up all nice and cold now in the cab.
The same pipe blew in my Mu as well so probably look around the wreckers for 1 this weekend.
Ben good to see you remembered your password for club Isuzu.

steve I just finished the AC conversion in the Mu.
Cause the compressor seized years ago & couldnt find a replacement (zexel)

MU is 4jg2 (3.1td)
I used :
2nd hand 2.8 rodeo a/c bracket (yes it bolts to the 3.1)
New Sanden A/C compressor (later tf model)
Tf rodeo condensor & drier
Tf rodeo HP lines
MU Evapourator - HP fitting was modified to fit the rodeo line (metric to imperial)
used the Mu LP line which runs along the firewall.
Custom LP hose with MU fitting to firewall & rodeo fitting at compressor.
Gassed it to 550 600.
Didnt blow cool air , gave up thinking the TX valve is rooted.
restarted it a couple weeks later & the A/C was working/ cycling.

I still have the MU condensor /drier, compressor hose fitings & Hp line.
if you need them.

Thanks Ben I will have to get a photo of the pipe before I take it out and after its out. its the 1 that connects to the compressor hose next to the main battery and runs through the grill to the condenser at the front.
The same thing happened on the wizard its a aluminum pipe funny shaped as well I will take it out tomorrow and have a look might be able to get fixed like the wizards.

Couple of improvements to the wizard bulbar and winch finally swapped them over from the MU.
Just got to wind torsion bars up a bit new to level it out with the extra weight
The MU looks a bit naked with out a bull bar on it now.

[MUVIT]

steel bar looks cool.

I must post some more pics I have when I get a chance different truck to drive since I put the new injector pump in it Ben no smoke on start up starts first turn of the key.
The engine runs like it should now took a few goes getting the timing right but I had never done one with the dial before.

[stardog]

My wheels and tires look small now I was wondering if this has anything to do with it happening.

All good down here Ben I've been keeping away from the shopping centers but looking across to the parks from my balcony you see all the idiots not social distancing typical eastern suburbs show ponies as I call them.
went for a drive to the beaches for a look last weekend totally packed along the roads and parks crazy people didn't stop or get out of the car.
They still got Arnhem land closed to outsiders .
Are they closing the mines up your way at the end of the year or next year I heard that its going the same as Gove closing down .
Cheers Steve
