Early last week palit ako ng gulong na oblong gulong ko sa likod hankook china bought at tireboy early last year or late last last year. replaced it with bridgestone. Mukha naman ok at gumaan yung manibela since nilagay ko sa harap dont know yung tibay since concern ko din yung load index nya. Tried goodyear before sinabugan ako sa NLEX after a year of service makapal pa yung thread nya, will never use that tire again.

Last Saturday naputol naman yung fanbelt (when it rain it pours haay) called hyundai fan belt P3,800 wala labor diretso ko kay fronte got it for P1,100 kabit ko mamya kung may oras

Low Beam:


High Beam:

Makikita mo na kung may nagbibihis sa building. Hahaha! Our high beams are actually pretty bad *$$.

Sir san nyo po pinagawa yung headlight nyo? Ever since hindi ako natuwa sa liwanag ng headlight ng GS ko tried using nightbreaker at philips, kalat yung buga nya. Iadjust ko maslalong naloko yung liwanag. Converted to HID yung low beam ok nung una now parang nagfafade yung lakas nya.

Anong goodyear yan sir? Hindi ba mababa load rating kaya ka nasabugan?

^actually one of the best performing stock low/high beams na ang gs natin.

Yes bro! Nakakaasar lang yung mga naglalagay ng bolt-on HID. Glare na sa laki ng housing at sa taas pa!

Oh, with due respect to you, Sir, as I didn't get to read your post prior to posting my previous reply, folks with bolt-on HIDs in the low beams need to take them out. Kalat na kalat yung buga, at dahil mataas ang GS natin, madaming nadadamay.

For your reference, I'm using bolt-on Morimoto H1 bi-xenon projectors in the low beam housing. For their price, they're pretty good, and if you'd noticed, they have a clean cut off, meaning walang glare above the cut off. These projectors have a high beam as well, so when I flip the switch to high, I get to use the OEM high beam as well as the high beam of the projectors.

Do consider getting these done. Not only will the light be more evenly spread, you won't be endangering other motorists.

Hindi ko na matandaan sir naibenta ko na yung gulong. Ang tanda ko lang nung binili ko yun sa servitek yun model na yun ang gamit sa Nissan Navara pickup.

Thank you sir for your quick response. Pinagawa ko sir yung HID ko sa isang sulit seller with good feedbacks naman from other forums. I just feel that hindi na sya kasing liwanag nung bagong kabit, been using it for about half a year na. Using the high beam as stock with osram nightbreaker installed.

Load Rating index of 99 can handle 1,709 pounds x 4 = 6,836 pounds / 2.2 = 3,107 kgs.

Listed weight of the GS (according to Hyundai Grand Starex | Auto Search Philippines) is 2,204 kgs curb or 2,770 kgs gross. That's about 337 kgs of leeway. Should be ok. How often is it fully laden?

For reference, I've been on tires with load index of 97 (1,609 x 4 = 6,436 / 2.2 = 2,925 kgs). Mas mabili nga lang naupod yung goma, though not sure how much of that is because of the weight and how much is because of the tire's inherent treadwear. Just make sure to abide by the tire pressures indicated on your driver's side door.

Rarely is the van fully laden, just the driver, 2 yayas and 2 kids. once or twice lang ang out-of-town trips. Also, I removed the 3rd row bench seat which probably weighs another 20-30kgs. Hope hindi kami masabugan ng tires like what happened to jay2.

[IMm29]

^Di naman siguro. Just make sure to check for the proper inflation and check tire wear.

[jaggerx3]

Bakit sa registration ng GS ko 3,800 Gross weight? Eto inaalala ko since bibili ako ng tires.

[IMm29]

Hmmm... yung sa akin naman pala sa rehistro is 3,030 kgs Gross Weight. Iba pa yung sa specs. Labo.

KDM yung sa akin. Kaya minsan napapaisip ako na kasing bigat ba ng Isuzu elf na delivery sa hardwarea ung Gs natin. Kasi 3800 rin gross weight nila as written sa truck. Haha

Congrats, numbah5!

If you don't mind, here are some unsolicited comments:
- Nice Black and White contrast! Linis tignan.
- No love for the chrome handles though as it deviates from the B&W set up.
- Ever considered repainting the stepboard?
- Full pano roof, or sa second row lang?
- So it's a 6-7 seater right? Hate to be the driver when all that plushness is at the back seats.
- Have you had the speed limiter deactivated?
- What brand of tint did they install?
- Pa-leather wrap mo na din yung steering wheel and shift knob
- D*mn that's a large tv!
