Can you guys give me some rough estimate on how much wil it cost me on this accessories?

1. Bed Liner
2. Hood Guard
3. Window Visor (i dont really know whats its real name)
4. Roller up

I already askd the "casa" but it seems that their price is a kinda high.

Wow! Another Dmax owner. Congratulation and welcome to Tsikot.

First of all, don't ask your dealer with those. For sure their prices cost more. Try going to Banawe and ask those shops there for quotes. You could try going to Carryboy, Ride Inc., Goldcars just to name a few. With mine, I got everything from Carryboy.

Try back reading this thread and you might get some answers.

I agree with rna800.... karagdagang advise ko kapag bedliner ok na Carryboy or if you have extra budget lagyan mo na ng spray on bedliner tas lagyan mo pa rin ng Carryboy Plastic Bedliner... Sa Stepboard kung gusto mo na naiiba ka go for KSC Stepboard Model AC-804 made in Thailand. I saw this stepboard sa isang DMAX 4x2 LS sa Isuzu Alabang. Wow ganda parang gusto ko itabi yun Carryboy Stepboard ko na Super Sports at palitan ko nun. Heto website http://www.ksc4x4.com/products.aspx?id=3 . Di lang ako sure kung meron KSC sa Banawe, try mo na lang. Sana di ka pa nagpapalagay ng accessories at wag ka magmadali maganda naman kahit stock cya kc mukhang matangkad DMAx pag walang stepboard. Importante maglagay ka na bedliner para di magasgas liner mo kc cyempre tyak khit papano may ikakarga na dyan d b? Glaciel White din sa akin kaya nga lang LX po.

Isa pa advise ko na rin na its better to put on Meguiars Synthetic Sealant or Ziebart Zee Glaze or Diamond Gloss kc puti yan baka pagdating ng rainy days magsawa ka sa paulit ulit na carwash at waxing, very time consuming ang lagi cya i-washing. Mahirap talaga mag-alaga ng puti sobra selan mas maselan pa sa kulay black, white really looks ugly pag puro putik! For Meguiars Synthetic Sealant it will cost you P1,500 (will last for 6mos) and for Ziebart Zee Glaze P5,400 (last for 6mos) and for Ziebart Diamond Gloss P7000 (last for 6 to 1yr) pero pagkatapos nun after 6mos or 1 year P1,900 na lang. Pare-pareho sila ipinapahid then buff. Pag nagpalagay ka ng mga yan tubig na lang.....no need to use shampoo and wax! To go for Ziebart is really costly kapapalagay ko nga lang ng Diamond Gloss subok ko lang kung gaano talaga katibay yun kc (toughest paint protection on the planet daw yun) sorry JARHEAD di me nakinig sa advise mo matigas din kc ulo ko lolz . Isa pa pag Ziebart pinili mo lalot Diamond Gloss be sure na kaharap ka pag ginawa yun mixture, usisain mo rin sa harap ng magtuitimpla kung ano kaibahan ng Zee Glaze at Diamong Gloss, then kung ok na yun mag-aaply ng mixture bantayan mo maigi, cgurad=uhin mo na ilalagay lahat nila yun mixture. Kc sa akin napuyna ko na hindi nila inilalagay lahat at itinatabi nila at iniipon tapois susulutin nila yun Ziebart outlet na pinagtatrabahuhan nila. Hayun yun 2 mokong isinumbong ko kawawa naman pero wala ako magagawa aalukin ako na yun iba ko sasakyan palagyan ko rin ng Zee Glaze or Diamond Gloss tapos ninanakaw din naman sa akin...no way Jose. Buti nga sa kanila!

Congrats on your new DMAX wecome to tsikot! I've tried driving all pick-ups maliban lang sa New Mazda BT-50 ba yun. DMax pinili ko ..second choice ko Hi-Lux. Pero kung marami pa ko pera type na type at bumili rin sana ko Ford Ranger Limited Edition (WILDTRAK). I wud not go for Navarra, why khit gusto ko rin cya sobra lapad di bagay sa negosyanteng tulad ko na always on the road at or nasa parking area palagi. Updates ayos na po yun DMax ko wala na ko reklamo. Isa pa po kung meron pa ko pambili, bibili pa ko isang DMax LS wether it be 4x2 or 4x4, or SE. Not white but black or tornade red! Di lang ako babae dito sa Cavite na lokong loko sa DMax madami po.
Dami ko na sinabi. Shut up na po ako. Im out!

Sorry nga pala for that stepboard advise ... Glaciel White LS SE nga pala yun sayo. Ganda talaga white di ba? Pero kakainis tlaga yan kapag tag-ulan. Just like mine w/c i acquired last September 2008. Abot abot nun ang ulan kakainis kakapagod mag-washing at waxing talaga ng paulit ulit.

Go for the protective sealant wether it be Ziebart, Meguiars or anything out there that you want bago mag rainy season . Maliban na nga lang kung pang harabas mo lang yan at kung meron ka pa iba wheels na magagamit.

To St_Omach;

Thanks sa tips maam... Actually first time ko lng po gumamit ng Pick up truck.. SUV gamit ko for 3 years, pero i decided t buy a truck since mas kelangan ko to for my type of business.. kaya mejo newbie tlaga ako >.<.
My problem is I'm from Cagayan Valley, I doubt kung merong mga shops d2 na nag ooffer ng paint protectors.. (sad.. bihira p nman ako bumiyahe ng manila).
Pero may Dealer dito ng Carryboy accessories.. Kaya nga lng mejo mataas ang prices.. (pero mas mura compared sa "casa")... Yun plastic Bedliner nila is 10k.. Stepboards is from 8-12k depende din sa model... I'm stil thinking if i'm going to put a canopy w/c will cost me nearly 100k >.< or i'll just put motorized roll up (way cheaper and looks better IMO). I dont know, maybe kelangan ko p ng tips and advice about d2.

[Djerms]

There are pictures of my truck here but I don't know what page/pages they are in. Perhaps in 270 onwards. If you wanna see it, just back read. With mine, I used a spray on bedliner, I have a stepboard, which I think has a ball park price of more than 8k and the most expensive as there were only 2 designs available for Dmax, a motorized roller lid and that silver thing that accentuates the rear light. Initially, I was eyeing on the roller top but unfortunately, I was told that I have to wait since they still need to order it. They showed me that roller lid just in case I was interested and they told me that it is there latest product. I tried it for a change and so far no regrets. Just don't expect it to be water tight and it doesn't retract all the way to the end unlike those roller tops. The good thing is you could move it with just a touch of a button but it takes time to get used to it. You will see everything in the pictures that I posted previously.

With your decision whether you would put a canopy or roller top/roller lid, it depends how you will use your truck. I have both the roller top and the roller lid in my trucks since I want them to be flexible wherein it doesn't matter if I will put a tall fridge or a bag since all I need to do is open it. But there are people like my neighbor, he has pickups and all of them have those canopy's due to the nature of his business he said. Sometimes it's in the taste of the owner. Just go with what you think would fit for you.

my dmax new look

Wooohhoooooo! A total knockout! Did you do that on your own? I just remembered that your project before was that bed cover something which you also built yourself, isn't it? Anyways, I just love the look your truck.

[rna800]

Kamusta mga Dmax owners?

So far so good here! More than 15k kms in my odo and I haven't felt anything wrong with it.

[srbogoy]

tnx mga bro!!!!!

*baby_dmax , ang front bumper is originally from a-toy bodykits with side skirts, front grille and rear skirts, cost not much cause binibili ko kay a-toy without paint, around 39K+ that time 2007.

*rna800, yes bro did it myself lang sticked with carbon fiber sticker in front bumper lang at yung cover ko was painted with flat black.

[atari_suri]

[Memphis Raines]

Kamusta mga Dmax owners?

.

[kurt]

hi,

need everyone's advice.

does anyone know the valve tappet clearance of the 2004 dmax 4JH1-TC engine?

and other technical information on it correct adjustment.

Is there a non-casa shop that knows the correct data to adjust the engines' valve clearance?



tha nks

[Memphis Raines]

Hi Kurt! I got this from my copy of the official Service Training book. I think the valve clearances here are the ones you are looking for:

[kurt]

Dear Memphis,


Thank you for the info. I visited isuzu rizal and valve clearance service is around Ph800.

With the information you gave i can quiz the mechanics if they actually know the correct valve clearance value.

Im having that service done because i havent done that for about 40,000kms na. Hope it makes the engine run more smoothly and quieter.



thanks again.

[baby_dmax]

[st_omach]

Fellow DMaxxers, personal opinion ko lang po i don't mean to offend anybody here.

I really don't like the looks of the Isuzu DMax LS SE kapag Glacial White ang color. It looks like an Isuzu DMax LT di ba? Unless you will do sumthing para di talaga cya mapagkamalan LT tulad nung Glacal White na LS SE na nakita ko sa Isuzu Alabang . Imagine LS SE napagkakamalan LT becuz of the because of the black accessories ng Shark. As far as I know sa AIDI una naglabas nung accessories na yun, ganun na rin ba sa ibang dealership? Mas maganda sana LS SE kung the usual accessories na stepboard ilalagay looks classic at porma talaga.

Personala opinion lang po yun akin ....at depende pa rin sa eye of the beholder. Dami kc nakakapuna lolz........

Mine is a Glacial White Dmax LS SE and it looks really nice and classy.. But yeah, depende pa rin sa eye of the beholder...
