Help! Land Cruiser exRHD or Nissan Safari LHD

[phillipogi]

yah dual aircon, third row facing front. new tires, all orig lahat, casa maintained with records

[phillipogi]

pero mukhang trip pa din ni erpats yung safari eh. sabi ko nga 1 lang solution, bili ng isang safari at isang LC hehehe!!

[Ungas]

One thing I almost forgot to mention, check tie-down brackets, there should be four of them at the rear, with the third row folded. May mga bolts ito at butas diretso sa ilalim. If you ever decide to join our trails, those holes need to be plugged.

Check if the 4WD mechanism is functioning properly, and diff lock engages and disengages. Yung kay afrasay pagkakuha nya dati matagal mag-on & off and diff lock. Probably got stuck since the previous owner didn't even bother to know what it was for.

what are those hoses?
differential breathers?

get the safari for 550,000 and spend 100,000 on a turbo. kaya mo nang habulin ang land cruiser safety ka pa dahil hindi converted and while waiting for the turbo to arrive from australia, you can use the vehicle na kaagad.

One of the things I don't like about the Safari is the apparent lack of refinement. On paper you can match the specs of the LC80 but they are still quite worlds away in actual day to day use.

The interior of the Safari ages and wears out easily. The ceiling is notorious for sucking up dust and eventually looking like a wall map of the world.

The door panels sag and warp even with normal use.

The dashboard is made of shiny black plastic and a lot of the dash is still painted metal.

If you feel cold, you can't close the air outlets. And the vanes in those outlets loosen and break off so easily.

These things, you will take foregranted in an LC80.

Despite of these faults, I still love Safaris.

Oooops! My bad! It should read holes not hose.

Diff breathers does have it own hose connected to cross members of chassis. And its holes should not be plugged.

I looked at the green '94 SAfari advertised in 4x4ph with 115K on the odo last week. Maganda pa yung condition, needs body work (hilamos), some minor suspension work, and probably new engine mounts. The steering wheel is clean and interior condition was good (in used Safari terms).

My dad and i were interested but he decided na kelangan niya yung PPP para sa business niya so postponed muli ang pag hanap namin ng project family car.

[tebs]

sir, thank you po sa pagtingin

kuha ka na lang ng safari, at least marami kang mapagtatanungan dito in case may mga inquiries ka

pero kung gusto mo talaga ng lc80, then go for it! pera lang katapat nyan

[Jeepcruizerph]

phillipogi: naghanap ka ba sa mga tabing yards?

wag kang kumuha sa mga auctions bilisan ang trabaho dito

look at my prado walang problem sa convertion..pero subic to... yung link nasa sig ko....

punta ka ng microbase yung exit malapit sa olongapo beaches palabas ng zambales

hindi nila coconvert hanggat di nakikita ng customer and then deposit tapos almost 1 1/2 months convertion with brand new rack and pinion and dashboard even the automatic stick (kambyo)

kung babalik ka :-)

kakapagod yan been there done that....ang layo pa naman ng subic

good luck

[edzzz]

i'd go for the safari, less sakit ng ulo.

Jeepcruizerph,

Magkano ang bentahan ng mga Prado roon after conversion (from 97 model)? Okey ba ang conversion nila, gumagana ba ng ayos ang control ng a/con vent selector?

[phillipogi]

Mukhang di na nga ako kukuha ng galing sa auction eh. Naisip ko nga na mabilisan ang trabaho dahil isang barkong puno ng SUV ang dumadating, malamang kailangan maconvert nila lahat yun before the auction, not to mention yung mga trucks, vans, at other vehicles being auctioned.

One more thing, nagtataka ako, yung tito ko (di ko kasi macontact eh), madalas mag auction yun to buy trucks for the family business, pero bakit sa labas sya bumili ng Land Cruiser 80 nya, at hindi sa auction? diba something worrysome yun kung bakit nya ginawa yun?

about the convertion, ano ba mga pinalitan syo? and how much kuha mo sa prado mo? mukhang ayos pa yung GPS system, pero applicable ba yun sa 'pinas?

[phillipogi]

yung kilala pala namin, he does convertion pero di galing sa auction yung units nya. He bids din sa Japan na mismo, so nakakapili sya ng units dun. di na sya kumukuha ng 1990-1992 models, puro 1993 and above na. Pati Pajero Evo at regular pajeros meron sya. He starts from scratch talaga, right hand dadating sa pinas tapos sya na magconvert using new parts from local sources, except for the dashboard and other features na wala sa local models (ie, auto transmission). Medyo mataas nga lang benta nya sa mga units, pero warranted nya yung gawa nya.

[phillipogi]

naalala ko yung footrest...di ba naililipat sa kaliwa yan?

[jappy]

Jeepcruizerph
ser saan yung complete address nun?
kahit contact number?
mas ok yung ganun eh.
right hand pa muna bago bilhin.
hindi madalian ang trabaho.

no offense po sa mga connected sa auctions.
medyo rush talaga ang units dyan.
tapos talagang napagpilian na ang mga unit dyan.
latak na lang talaga.
this according mismo sa isang supplier sa mga auction. napipili na nila ang mga ok na units. tapos lahat ng sobra sa auction na ang tapon. ubos pa din naman lagi.
no offense po uli.

[phillipogi]

napansin ko sa United Auctioneers, yung mga company high officers, naka japan surplus din na mga SUVs, mostly Prados, Gen 3 Pajeros and Hi Lux Surfs, pero sobrang gwapo! mukhang napili nga! so i think talagang pinipili nila yung units tapos yung latak ang itatapon sa auction para bilhin ng mga tao.

Ang di ko pa din maintindihan pala is about the "convertion kit" na sinasabi. Totoo ba na ang auctions ngayon ay hindi na "cut and weld"? Sabi ng mga nsa auction, bago daw ang steering system nya, left na orig na daw, hindi na daw ginagawa yung cut and weld in which they use the old right hand drive system then baguhin lang yung configuration.... how true is this guys? anyone?

[phillipogi]

naalala ko yung pajero evo, the supplier sells it at P1.15M. pwede na ba price or mahal?
