pajerokid,

My professor just had Ziebart install a power moonroof on his 4X4 Field Master. May sliding cover naman, ha. Webasto nga din ata ang tatak (OEM ang Webasto sa mga Benz and other Euro cars).

Alternative: Buy a surplus Pajero roof tapos pakabit mo sa JCB sa may Mindanao Ave. But remember that the OEM moonroof of the Pajero is above the rear seats so parang wala ding silbi sa nasa harapan. Hehehe.

[pajerokid]

SunTzu:: Thanks Dude! :D

Sir O:: I went to Ziebart-Pasig, wala sila kasi e nung meron cover :D
Hehehe! loko nga mitsu no? Nilagyan ng super laki na moonroof, wala namang
pakinabang satin mga driver :D Pang politician nga raw yun e :mrgreen: Yung Gen2 na Kick up roof, sa ibabaw ng driver yung moonroof. I think Webasto also makes moonroofs for mitsu... at least yung sa 2 door gen 2.
Sir O, do you think its worth it? Medyo magibat kasi 40grand e so im
really looking at all the pro's and cons. ty!

ps:: parang ayaw ko operahin yung bubong ng auto :D Malaki masyadong trabaho and prone to rust.

I had a manual type sunroof installed in my previous car and it was worth it for me. It was about having fun and a sunroof was trip to have especially if you like to cruise around in your car with a cool song from your stereo system. Also the view up thru the glass of the sunroof is really a different perspective that normally you will not expect to see.

Downside, the sunroof required to have one roof crossbrace to be cut off. I didn't think much about it then but thinking back, it might have made my car flex slightly more than if the brace wasn't cut.

My opinion, get the manual type if budget it tight. Remember to buy the sunshade because the noon-day sun can be really hot even if the glass of the sunroof is tinted already.

Pajerokid,

For 40K, I'd rather have an upgraded suspension. 2" up na rear coils tapos torsion bar crank and 4 KYB gas shocks.

Kaya pa kaya ng budget ang 32X12.5R15 tires. Mount na lang sa stock rims.

[nikko m]

gwapo lang talga pag naka moonroof....

but i agree also with sir otep,kung kaya mo naman pagsabayin, then go for it..

[pajerokid]

nikko m, ghosthunter::

thanks for your comments guys! im more inclined to getting a manual moonroof, coz its a whole lot cheaper. besides, napaka-sariwa ng hangin dito sa Manila :lol: I just want to get a little sun in :D I'm not really concerned with body flex since im putting it in a pajero, where the body is just riding on top of a ladder chassis :D Most of the mods sir Otep mentioned were already done with my ride :wink: thanks again guys!

sir Otep::

Kwentahin natin :D

2" Torsion bar adjustment = 500.00
Wheel Alignment (Kelangan e) = 1,200.00 (Servitek! Very recommended)
2" up coils = around 10,000.00 (Mine is OME pero 1" up lang)
4 shocks = 16,000 (Mine is OME (again), dont know how much yung kayaba)
four 32x12.5's = est 18,000.00

grand total= 45,700!!!!!! Muntik na magkasya :mrgreen:


bad trip! when i had my balljoints/ rod ends replaced, i actually LOWERED the front of my Paj! :? Mas maganda yung stance, but i dont know how i will fare on the 27th! Bahala na diyos sakin! hehehehe :lol:

[thug_989]

inde b yan 22lo pag umulan????????????? :?:

[pajerokid]

thug_989:: Ziebart sunroofs are guaranteed against rust and leaks, lifetime! Im rather impressed with this :D

[OTEP]

pajerokid,

Mura lang ang Kayaba gas shocks. Hindi ka aabutin ng 4K. Apat na yan. Nitrogen-filled.

[pajerokid]

Sir Otep:: WOW! Great value!!!!!!!!

[OTEP]

pajerokid,

Pero gusto ko pa rin nakawin yung mga Yellow OME's sa LC II. Hehehe.

[pajerokid]

[OTEP]

nikko m,

Magkaiba presyo ng front set sa rears, eh. Pero ang total amount niya should come out at more or less Php 4K.

Sa Campershells may 2" up coils being sold for Php 10K/Pair. Hindi ko nga lang alam kung TJM ang pangalan.

[nikko m]

otep,

kimpoyski:: im not sure, but we use the term moonroof for sunroofs with glass hatches. Sunroof kapag metal yung hatch :D
