Okay, what we're doing today is we're fitting a set of Powerfold Mirrors, our latest ones,
onto an Isuzu D-MAX.
And it doesn't have the Powerfold button, so what we're doing is we're installing a button.
There's a bit of work in it, but it's just a press button on the dash and
your Powerfold Mirrors here will just fold in then.
The thing I like about the Clearview Towing Mirrors is it really makes it easy when you're
out in the bush and you're towing big loads.
You need to see as much as you can especially in tight situations, because let's face it,
we tow some big stuff into small places.
Yeah!
This car has been around the bend a fair bit.
It's got a fair bit of dirt in it.
Especially when Simon drives it.
He's been driving on dirt roads, that lad.
Yeah, I know, I told him to stay on the bitumen, but he just doesn't listen.
So we'll put a switch up into the centre dash pod, and then we've gotta run the wires across,
under the dash, through the kick panel, into the door and then back up here into this door cover.
We've run all the wires through from the dash, put the button in.
We've tested the Powerfold Mirror, and all we've gotta do now is hide all these cables
back in here behind the door panel.
Look at that.
Beautiful!
Okay this little MU-X, it's top of the range model.
It actually has little powerfold mirrors, a little button there when you buy the truck.
The advantage of that is, it's just plug and play.
So it's a simple fit-up for the MU-X.
So we're gonna take our old Clearviews off, and we're gonna put a new set of Powerfold
Clearviews on here.
Clearview specialize in towing mirrors, but they also have this broad range.
That's why it's called Clearview Accessories.
And today, we're also going to put on a set of Clearview Powerboards.
Now these things are pretty cool.
So you can imagine a side-step that comes down when you open the door and goes back
up when you close the door.
And a nut.
I've got a very important job here.
Yeah, you're the go-to man.
Alright that's good.
All good?
All right, let's move along.
Now the boards that go onto the MU-X are no different to the ones that go onto the D-MAX
or my 200.
They use the same sort of motor.
Now it's a little electric actuator underneath there with a couple of other arms fore and aft.
We've got an ECU which is the brain of the whole thing.
These 2 here run the door switches, and you've gotta pop your panel off inside the car, the
centre pillar.
We go in there, and we pick up the door switches.
Plug one on each side of it.
Whenever you open the door, the board comes down--front or rear.
Now the beauty of these boards is they will tuck up nice and tight underneath the sill
of the truck.
In offroad situations, you know, your sidestep is tucked up right out of the way.
> We're gonna hit that bank.
And then when you hop out, it drops down, no problem.
When we send our products out, they've gotta be bulletproof.
And when we did our first year of testing with Jase and Simon and they went away and
they bashed them up trees and sandbanks and God only knows what else,
and they came home again.
That was a pretty good testament that we were on the right track with the product.
So we're not really finished here yet.
We've still got more stuff to do on Simon's truck.
We're gonna put a Clearview EasySlide in the back of it, so he'll be able to bring the
kitchen out.
Drop it down, make himself a coffee, sandwich, whatever he needs.
I think he's gonna be pretty excited when he sees the new rig.
