from my experiences storm sucks to the max with its growling engine (black smoke included) n body rust n bushing and many other problems..
the better 4x4 nissan frontier got smooth n powerful engine but its not very durable.. hilux d4d might be old but many people still use the bcoz its heavy duty body n coil spring which is better than leaf spring hilux commonrail is good bcoz of the large rear passenger space n again coil spring  This post has been edited by Mooneyes: Jun 28 2009, 09:17 AM |

Is it okay if a Form 4 student like me join this thread
I'm using (correction: borrowing parents car which is to be given to me when I get lesen) a 1992 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado LJ78G . This Land Cruiser is the Japan import one not the locally assembled Land Cruiser II as commonly seen in Malaysia.. Anyway guys my father was thinking to give the car a 2"/4" raise, if like this I cannot park in most shopping mall car park? + another question.. do you guys think Suzuki Jimny (the old Sierra models) are good? I like that car very much.. when I grow older I'd like to modify it to look like this  This post has been edited by latias93: Jul 26 2009, 11:53 PM |

Absolutely 100%. Jimnys are good off road vehicles. Used to drive one though I don't own one.
It'll beat a Pajero hands down anytime n off road competitions. The key is that it is small, light ... and narrow... On a normal road though, its bumpier than riding a camel. |

When my dad bought the Landcruiser in 1994, wanna drive from Miri to KK at that time have to go numerous river crossings in makeshift log rafts that can carry 2 cars, and have to lalu some area kampung also.. Borneo is the best place for 4x4! Lada Niva quite interesting, it's like a 4x4 version of the Mini Clubman.. + South America huh.. that place full of BJ40's!

But other parts of the engine/wiring must be sealed also though ! right! it functioned just like the standard air intake(channel the cold air to the engine) which is usually from the front area / bonnet.since serious off-roader tend to swim frequently standard air intake will definitely submerged ... hence, the the air intake moved. |

Sifus, can answer these questions ?
1. Can I do wheel alignment and balancing of my 4x4 at an ordinary tyre shop or would there be a specialist in 4x4 tyre management shop? 2. I am planning to change my stock set of rims to a more bling bling stuff like a bigger chrome rims. Do you suggest an ordinary tyre shop or a 4x4 tyre specialist because as far as I know changing the rim, doing the balancing/alignment is a routine task and works the same with any other vehicle including cars. 3. After I change to the new set of rims, do they affect the handling or cause a far more worse wear and tear to all the parts connected to the wheel compared to the stock rim and tyre? |

QUOTE(am_eniey @ Aug 1 2009, 04:55 PM) It prevents water from getting in the engine when wading through deep waters. But other parts of the engine/wiring must be sealed also though ! Also, snorkles are useful when driving through thick dusty areas like the Namibian desert or Australian outback. I read this somewhere in Australian 4WD Magazine.. |

LC II SWB is a gem to be owned.
Any tyre shop can do the balancing and alignment. But those modded (lifted) 1, u got to go to those with more experience shop that deal more on 4x4. |

I don't really like the stock rim and tyres but if I mod them, it will risk the warranty. Tyres don't have warranty btw but the rims have.

Yup, Navara has been available worldwide except Malaysia since 2006 .. but since Frontier assembled locally, TCM didn't bring it to Malaysia so that they could at least break-even with the investment they've done on Frontier. In Malaysia, it is still quite new.. and it still the mother ***ker of all pickups .. |

It can even beat any modded wira or satria and perhaps camry or accord. But that's the strategy of TCM for still bringin in fresh new Frontier so they would have a mid range and high end pick up truck in Malaysia. |

@hazairi@
try to get a toyota hilux double cabin. else, a 2001 2.8t isuzu rodeo should fit into your budget. if i am not mistaken, a 2002 mazda fighter will fit too! stay away from mahindra and tata. depending on your preference / purpose, find one that either has never been off-road or a hardcore(modded) off-roader @kazami@ i've seen a sorrento with bigger turbo taken from skyline but there is nothing much can be done. sorrento's auto / tiptronic tranny doesn't offer much fun as in manual / dsg tranny. plus, the body roll is just too much going into the corner btw, turbo engine is not about high rev... it's more of a correct timing |

Yup it's new here but 3 years old to the rest of the world. Correct nothing beats a Navara when it comes to 2.5L. Even the 3L Hilux/Dmax and even the 3.2L Triton hardly beat the 2.5L Navara just because the VGT I suppose. But the whopping price tag probably prohibits owners from using it for business purpose in Malaysia. |

Guys, need your advice here. Wanna change my Mit Triton stock tyre (Continental 245/70/R16) and stock 16" rim to much bigger rim & tyre.
What is a good tyre and rim to fit in my triton ah ? Planning to change to 275mm or 285mm size tyre and 17 or 19 rim. Roughly how much the price normally ah ? I dont like noisy tyre and drive more on urban road. Anybody knows good wheel shop in Kuching/Sarawak? Thanks. BTW I am a Mitusubishi Triton Owner QAL4XX4 Will post the pic of my truck later. |

According to other sifus, big rims will only be damaged if installed on our truck. It's not designed for bling2 because the truck is damn heavy. Our tarmac is not that good and potholes are everywhere. I recommend a 16" rim (17 is also ok) with thicker tyres. The price range is between 4k-10k depending on brand and size, new or used.What is a good tyre and rim to fit in my triton ah ? Planning to change to 275mm or 285mm size tyre and 17 or 19 rim.

I suppose those who installed big rims on 4x4 were only meant for city drive. Wish i can also change to a bigger rims but the potholes here in Sabah are everywhere and it keeps growing

correctomundo. u put big wheels on ur truck, u gonna be drvin it like a car. avoiding big potholes. and ur steering will resist turns a lil, hence handling is a lil affected. tire noise, no much diffence. braking has some major difference with low prof tires.. tend to slip easier than AT tires. power wise, a lil reduced but not that whole lot.. i heard ppl said consumption will be affected, but i dun see that happening.. i still get about 9.3km per litre on average.. anybody with stock wheels have any numbers for comparison? i got 22's on. but then again, i have my stock rims fitted with bridgestone AT tires and i have heavy duty hydraulic jack in my factory which eases the rim swapping process with also few workers handy..
but, can't be swapping rims every week. it's gonna strip the studs. but otherwise it's cool.. |

Just call the authorized dealer of Michelin Tyre in Kuching, they quote RM680 for Latitude 275/70/R16. Went to their shop and look for sport rim, the quote RM2700 for 4 sets of Enkei 16" rim.
That's just outta my budget . Planned to buy tyre first, next month baru buy rims. BTW anybody know where can I get this thing ? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « |

QUOTE(am_eniey @ Sep 29 2009, 03:34 PM) Potholes are not just terrible in Sabah but here in peninsula as well. I think the Toyo Open Country A/T is one of the best all rounder tyre. Yeah.

Hello guys, i was thinking about the handling of my hilux, the suspension plays a very big part is this department... ultimately i can throw some big bucks and change the whole suspension system..
but since my car is only a month old, that option wud be absurd unless i've got my hand on the golden egg laying chicken.. now that we've scratch that option out for the moment, any of u guys have any idea to improve the handling.. mostly concerned on the stiffness of the rear end.. i dun really carry any load on my tail back. so, i was thinkin... can the leaf spring be replace with a normal coil spring or any other way such as removing one piece from the leaf spring system to reduce the stiffness?.. all the ideas that i just jotted are merely something arbitraryly popped up in my mind. it may be an impossible chore.. i'm open for any idea.. will greatly appreciate any inputs.. thanks.. Moe |

Yup you're right...Michelin rubber are soft u can even feel it when u touch with fingers (i'm referring to Michelin that i'm using now)...but it manage to reached 50,000km before i change it...so it's not so fast i guess...my rear tyre (also Michelin) still haven't change yet...only front tyres...i wanted to try the diesel fuel but my dad told me tat my car only pump petronas... so i got no choice and dont dare to try... just go on with petronas For me, i stick with Shell coz we don't have Caltex here...hehe.. |

nah not worth it, its not anything special, instead if i have an old school jeep willys or an old 1970s land rover, id take that anytime.
this one looks more like an overdone pajero, if you tell me, it lacks heritage and style |

yeah i dont mind the evolution, just not paying 140k for that. id pay less than 100k for that. also to take into the consideration of maintenance and parts availability.
there is some wrangler pics that i posted in few pages front, perhaps u could dig for it. my s600 restoration is updated frequently on the civic thread, since i dont know where does my car fits, lol. im just a general car enthusiast, i have love for properly engineered cars with good spec and historical values. just no love for proton cos they dont seem to get very far with those |

starting price around 70-80k i think. but can be higher due to the limited unit in worldwide forget about it. anyway, i mostly review your S600 restoration in ZTH now back to the car that i'm going to buy the 1st gen pajero two doors |

pajero evolution is nice if the car is selling around 70-80k. it should be placed around that price. i havent seen any 4x4 , 2nd hand going above 100k.
for 140k, might as well buy a captiva, can save money and also carry 7, its a long term investment! |

Like corner? not really dare to corner real hard dude. because if make mistake and totaled the car, how? drive this car out already nervous cos afraid got some careless driver on the road but i bet it can do all sorts of thing except drift according to the article written 3 years ago, i notice this The Pajero Evolution is a genuinely rare beast which is therefore difficult to value. This particular Japanese import vehicle (privately owned but available for purchase though Adelaide’s Port Road Commercial and 4WD and Kansai Automotive) is on the market for around AUD$45,000. It has less than 80,000km on the odometer and is in excellent all-round condition aside from a rattle through the steering column. so convert should be like RM140k. but thats 3 years ago case. anyway, i'll try to do more picture snapping or possibly video shooting on riding this car in the future. have a nice day |

Just now around 6.30 pm...im driving from ipoh to lumut...its raining...after uitm sri iskandar in front of me is one iswara and in front of the iswara there is one hilux...speed around 100km/h...im following them from about 70-80 meters on the right lane...when suddenly the hilux lost control and skid in front of the iswara into the left lane and masuk longkang before hit the small cement layered hill usually we found on hill side...the iswara manage to slow and avoid the spinning hilux...on the left there is 22 tires trailer which is about 30 meters behind them...luckily the lorry manage to stop at about 10 meters from the hilux...as i pass the road i check there is running water from middle of the road to the left...he hit the water before spinning...luckily the hilux only face minor damage...broken rear right light and the body kemek...
as i left the scene...im driving around 80 km/h...around 10 minutes later i can see the hilux coming from back...as we stop at the traffic light...i check the tires...he using the oem bridgestone H/T tires...as i heard from many owner...many accident had been cause from this tire...this tire is suck on wet and on water spot... My family own a Toyota Hilux 09 model...and the model comes with suck Bridgestone H/T tires(pic below IINM the series)...So to all other Hilux and other brand 4 X 4 owner thats using this tyre...please change to other tire ASAP...Its may cost ur live...before we buy the hilux...my uncle own...hes oledi facing two times incident with the OEM tires...one time nearly cost his live...after the incident he ask my dad what tires good for hilux...since we owning a pickup (Ford Ranger) for a long time before buying the Hilux...So my dad recommended either Michelin LTX or Bridgestone A/T 694...we`ve been using many other brand and still the best is Michelin and Bridgestone... This One...  Bridgestone A/T 694  Michelin LTX  So please to all... |

Triton 2.5L is quite powerful already. If u hv tried older pick up without common rail engine, then u will know how it feels like.
Triton can reach 160kkm/h easily on highway. Due to our taxation system, SUV is more expensive. Too bad. Most $$ into tax and wasted. |

Hi guys, I plan to start a small business in the near future so I think a pickup truck should be suitable for me. unfortunately my budget is quite tight (around 20K) so any recommendations?
 Also recently saw a used Tata Telcoline in motor trader. is it worth it? I mean, it's cheap but that's about it. I don't know much about this pickup truck. |

check out the mother trucker 6 speed manual navarra... more powerful than the bigger displacement hummer
too bad the power delivery is not as smooth as the hummer nor does it was as stream line as the bigger displacement 3.2 triton. waiting for the 3.0 hilux.... wonder how it will fare in with our diesel quality. |

QUOTE(moe81 @ Dec 9 2009, 05:41 PM) @am einey Mine is 18" not 20" because I sometimes go to my ladang kelapa sawit, if 20" or 22" rim, the tyre must be very damn thin. Not quite suitable for me though. For me 18" is superb for my type of travel, looks nice on and off road. but yours is blistering 22", must be bling bling killer and looks sweet on city street. I sometimes carry my mom and in-laws around town. They need car like suspension that's one of the reason I replaced the originals.thanks bro.. sure thang we can convoy together... my cousin has a triton all pimped out too.. we both roll on 22's. its especially fun curb parking together going out to the clubs... i see u got some nice lenso 20's on ur baby.. nice shocks too. i bet the price really worth the comfort.. good job man.. |

Those 4x4 with A/T box can do simple wheel burnout...
1. Left foot on brake pedal. 2. Shift gear to L or 1. 3. Right foot on accelerator, depending truck, most will reach to full boost at 2000 RPMs. 4. Gently let the RPM climb to 2200 RPM and release the left foot as quick as possible and watch... Scary... |

Manual haiya.. Need to change from gear 1 to gear 2 fast, if not engine will sound like big tug boat and black smoke will come out from the exhaust. I like to use direct gear 2 from stop when driving in the urban area.correct me if im wrong....... |

QUOTE(am_eniey @ Dec 16 2009, 11:00 AM) Of course, it will make all wiralution and wajadilotion run for their lives but practically, it's very dangerous. However for the rest, don't try this on public roads. Try finding somewhere isolated. Yup. Very true... I will try this on quite empty roads and of course very dry weather. If wet, forget it as the truck will fish tail to other side of the roads.Sometimes, it helps the heavy truck to accelerate faster because some such as Triton 2.5 A/T have poor acceleration unless you rev engine up to 2200 RPMs. |

Guys, between Petronas / EssoMobil / Caltex diesel, which of these would you prefer?
I rate Esso as having slightly better mileage over Petronas or Caltex. But Esso macam tarak power (flat acceleration feel) |

Rear stabilizer but for the front is more popular to stabilize the steering when cruising through potholes and flood.

hi guys. i just completed driving from kuching to miri (9 hours). Stay one nite in Miri. Then next day drove to KK. got lost in Brunei coz couldnt find right way to border to go to sarawak then sabah. stay one nite in KK. then drove back to miri but have to stay one nite in Kuala Belait (Brunei) coz border gate closed at 1000pm. then yesterday drove from kuala belait to kuching about 8 hours. by the time i reach home at 9pm suddenly my kia sportage engine just died and could not start. Lucky didnt stop during my journey. So, this morning go to naza kia SC and the mechanic say 1 out of 10 sportage sensor faulty. If i stop the engine then cannot start already. Again lucky didnt switch off engine from Brunei to Kuching. So he replace my sensor (5 minute job...i think it is air sensor which he already bring with him) for free coz under warranty which he said got new improved chip.
So far, driving sportage average 100km per hour but confident since can drive through bad bumpy and uneven road with ease. max speed managed at 150 at straight road. FC better on long distance average at 10litre per 100km. Normal city driving between 13-16l per 100km. Wonder whether sportage suspension and engine can last long since really push the car hard on bad roads and overtaking. |

Send your current turbo charger for repair. Most mechanic says they can repair turbo, but they send out to turbo specialist.
U can try Tong Turbo, send it yourself. How can u tell whether a chop shop unit is in good condition? I don't really trust chop shop turbo. Hehe |

I don't really trust chop shop turbo. Hehe whats the price to repair a turbocharger & where is tong turbo located? im guessing my ranger turbo is broken as there is a whirring sound sometimes when i press the accel. just wanna know the current price range before going to a mechanic as fren told me it cost RM1k to change ranger turbocharger (chop shop one) last 3 years ago. regarding to know if the turbocharger unit is in good condition, im thinking of letting the mechanic to source for it as he will be responsible it is in working condition. |

How u know your turbo is not functioning well? Leaking? A little leak is normal. Whirring sound is your turbo spinning. Should be normal unless u feel that your car is underpowered, and your turbine is shaky, scratching its housing.
Not sure bout chop shop price. my guess would be RM 600 ? got to survey around. (pls take note that this is a used unit with unknown history) Sending it for a complete rebuild is another story. www.tongturbo.com Rebuild cost around RM 1k. Call up tongturbo for quote. |

What overdrive function for offroad? Hehe
With auto, u still hv control of your car. No problem. U hv D, 2 and L and overdrive button. Not forgetting your 4H and 4L. Use the auto gear as usual, where 'L' only allows 1st gear, '2' only allows 1st n 2nd gear 'D with overdrive OFF' allows 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear 'D' with overdrive ON' allows all 4 gears, 1-4th. |

Turning off overdrive can't let u start at higher rpm.
It's just disable your overdrive gear, ie 4th or 5th gear. Some auto 4x4 can let u start at 2nd gear instead of 1st. This reduces the torque transfer to the wheels, reducing the amount of wheels spin. (toyota lc 90 series, 1kz turbo has this function) This post has been edited by ahsam1212: Mar 13 2010, 02:47 PM |

noted. thanks.
point was no matter what, for off-road functionality, lower gear play the most important part. fc wise, most of the advance 4wd nowadays are running on 2wd; either fwd or rwd on normal road condition. once a slip in any wheels detected, ecu automatically transfer / distribute the torque to all 4 wheels / whichever wheels with the most traction. |

with 40k budget,
hilux sr, vigo out. unless u looking for older hilux 166, 106 with 3L engine. nissan frontier, almost there, might need to add a bit on budget. ford ranger or mazda fighter, sure can mit storm, sure can. with your budget, i think storm is better for your usage. it's more comfortable among the choices available. if u looking for toughness, hilux is your choice, but be warned about the higher road tax (2.8 engine) and not so powerful engine. |

My company recently bought a used 2007 Triton (A) for RM 74k and condition is marvelous except for minor exterior scratches.
My own Triton is also a 2007 bought a year earlier. No prob with both trucks except for minor mods here n there. Next on the list is the 2010 Navara (M) for the other director. So, whenever there a company trip, we let the Navara go first since Tritons can't catch up anyway. |

I thought single cabbies only exist in Thailand, because nearly everyone there can't afford to pay for an extra 2 doors.
