Kung Montero kukunin mo, huwag mo nang baguhin tail lights, kelangan mo ng visibility sa bundok, and IM sure sa Montero kitang kita ka.

though, meron hindi nag o-on ng lights pag umulan. i live in the bondoks too and many dont do this when it rains or when the fog is thick or entering tunnels.

Finally had to bring back sa casa. Ayun bumigay transmission na pala

like the old, air-cooled VW.
some procedures in fixin' the car sometimes go against the more established moves of the japanese cars.
OT.

TS, Sa Monty ako sa choices mo. May mitsubishi naman siguro sa kapatagan malapit sa yo. Pero kung kaya Toyota Fort.

Kahit pagsamahin benta ng MUX and Trailblazer kulang pa rin.

it's probably the price.
the innova is one of, if not the, cheapest big-ish vehicle in the market.
plus, it has three ovals on the front hood.

Hanap ka 1st or 2nd gen Monty, sub- 1M na mga yan, may sukli kapa sa budget mo.
At kayang kaya ang bundok

there is a blogger who was complaining in traffic and i can hear the 4d56 engine rattling the cabin.

The cover on the tail lamps helps too but it's really secondary to the spoiler.

Pu nga sir Jut. Parang mas ok talga pag may tail lights. Do you own one? Which would you prefer among the 3 choices?

**bolog** · April 22nd, 2018 06:39 PM

Mukhang down to Montero or MUx and labanan ah... With the discount sa Montero its a good buy na considering that the Mux on my list is the old 2.5 power mill na EURO2 standard lng

Kung old 2.5L na MUX lang naman, Montero na. Layo na masyado ang agwat hehe~ But visit the showroom first before making a decision.

Still tempting you to get a used unit though. Even if just 2017 model, you will save hundreds of thousands due to depreciation in what is basically still a new car.
