Isuzu Dmax Owners [ARCHIVED]

[Benzmizer]

Isa pang sakit sa ulo yung mga sabit ng motor sa brakelights.

What brakelight? The one on top of the cab? May lamat ba? If gasgas lang or lamat na di naman to a point na biyak, just purchase a red model kit spray paint at any hobby shop. I forgot the paint shade but that should do the trick.

Paint the whole 3rd braklamp for even shade. No worries since these model kit spray paint ain't opaque when applied. Light would still pass thru the paint. Just make sure you apply evenly and just enough to "hide" the scratch.

Nope. Not the 2005 and 2006 models. 2007~can be.




... mainly due to the headlight design, the grille and front bumper had to be changed.

The hood, headlights and front fenders need to be changed too.

Actually yung tail lights ang may mga gasgas ng motor. Malamang galing sa brake levers ng motorcycles. Sakit talaga ng pickup ito, lalo na pag stuck ka in traffic. Dami kasing sumisingit na motor sa likod.

All stock pa rin Dmax ko, 2006 model 4x2 Foxfire Red. I plan to change the tires soon.

Welcome to tsikot padipadi! Unfortunately, walang D-Max Club kaya wala ka ring sasalihan at wala ring EB.

sirs, ano po opinions niyo sa canopy vs. roller-up?

ano po kaya ang pros and cons?

salamat po...

sirs, ano po opinions niyo sa canopy vs. roller-up?

ano po kaya ang pros and cons?

Personally, canopies don't don't appeal to me. The pick-up don't look like a pick-up with it. Defeats the purpose of being a pick-up. Advantage thou stuff can be put at the pick-up 's bed and don't get wet (since the cab would be crowded specially if with passengers).

A roller-up would be better.... pick-up STILL looks like a pick-up..... available in manual or remote roller slide and can be rolled up if needs to load tall cargo. Disadvantage thou would be water would tend to leak in the bed box so there is a chance that cargo may get wet. Ad if using a metal/aluminum roller-up, it may create rattling noise specially on bumpy roads.

Cost of both not that different with each other.

[padipadi]

thanks a lot sir benzmizer.

hirap pala magdecide. more inputs maybe from others.

tried to search the forums, but most of the searches yielded few replies or "bitin" discussions to the same question.

thanks po

Canopy
I've used this on our former pick-up. Cargo are very much protected from the elements. Problem is that you can't haul tall stuff like refrigerators, cabinets, etc. A particular canopy dealer before (Brahma/Armark) gave the option of a detachable type of install - instead of permanently bolting the canopy to the pick-up bed, they use thick, heavy duty clamps to hold the canopy in place. I'm not sure though if they still have that option. It's quite impractical though to remove your canopy everytime you have tall cargo. I also have apprehensions re its safety (at the back of my mind, I would imagine the canopy flying off the pick-up bed if the clamps slip or fail).

Roller-up
This is what I have on my D-Max. It provides more flexibility, I just roll it up if I need to haul tall items. Problem is that it's not totally waterproof, it leaks along the sides even during moderate rainfall unlike the watertight OEM roller-up of the Ford Explorer Sport Trac pick-up. Also, the locks and mechanisms are not that durable. Whether it be Carryboy or Campershells (Pace Edwards), it leaks.

Bedcover/Sport Lid
Maybe I'll try this on my next pick-up. I still have to gather feedback re the performance of this one.

The Campershells Aerocover bedcover has the standard rear tip opening (just like in a dump truck but reversed):



The Carryboy Sport Lid has 2 variants, the Standard and the Lift Up:

Standard



Lift Up



Just my 2 cents. Hope this helps.

salamat sir isketi. will now check these items sa banawe. hope makadecide nako.

[zeus2004]

Sir, kindly share kung sakali meron ka nang data regarding bed covers sa banawe, meron din daw yung hindi masyadong mahal na bedcover sa carryboy yung Soft Lid, nakita ko lang sa carryboy brochure, i dont know kung available na ngayon sa carryboy banawe kasi nakalagay sa brochure New Item, kindly check sir, TIA.

[isketi]

salamat sir isketi. will now check these items sa banawe. hope makadecide nako.

Your welcome. I suggest that you also visit Armark International (172 A. Mabini St. Addition Hills, San Juan), they are the suppliers of the Brahma/Armark truck tops. Compared to other brands, the Brahma truck tops are more expensive but quality is supposedly way better. I'm just not sure if they still sell them but there's no harm in asking.

saw the soft lid with support bars below the lid material. it's good for its purpose as a softlid alternative. but if given a choice, will not buy it for it will not last.
