    Mitsubishi L200



    price range from 150 - 200k

    or Mitsubishi Strada L200




    same characteristics have like in the pajero, though it is really for total utility use..
    This suggestion seems feasible. Anong year model itong ganitong price range?

    oo nga e. Im starting to read on the forums na malakas daw talaga gas na advie sa FC. Its sad that mitsubishi just stopped producing it instead of working to improve their FC or instroducing it with a newer generation of more fuel efficient gas engines.

    I am open to converted vehicles, pero my apprehensions lang:

    1. kamusta steering column nito?
    2. Kamusta brakes system nito?
    3. Madali ba yung spare parts nito?

    Since the bighorn never come out in the Philippines, what parts did they use to convert it? May spare parts ba tayong pwedeng isubstitute dito?

    these, plus the quality of conversion, are the exact reasons why some people shun converted vehicles..
    of course, conversion can be done according to factory specs. they even have company-blessed conversion kits available.. but it won't be cheap..

    Why go through all the trouble when you can get a simple, robust, reliable and cheap diesel pickup or AUV locally?

    Depends on the model you buy. Best get something that has a local counterpart, or at least has a model sold locally that shares many parts with it. To make sure it is safe, be sure that there is no cut and weld.

    The Bighorn did come to the Philippines, under the Trooper nameplate. AFAIK, the Bighorn name was used for RHD markets.

    But then as sir niky said, that is if you really like that certain converted vehicle, or the AUVs and pickups within your budget do not appeal to you.

    I missed my jimny bai. I saw last week the 5-door version in metal but I still prefer the 3-door as a 2nd car.
