Hey guys,

Does rollbar installation require drilling?

thanks

[ARB]

cardo, yes it requires drilling. what do you have in mind? the rollbar na chrome or the fashion bars?

IMO looks cleaner without them.

[cardo]

ARB,
hehehe... I'm just curious. Dont have any plans...

thanks

[cardo]

Eto sana. Don't like the chrome and the plastic ones. But I'm still thinking about

Ok yan! One of my colleagues had it installed on his white D-Max... He says mas bagay yan if your unit is white or silver. He saw someone with a blue unit, but, it looked hideous daw.

Ey guys... mahal din pala yun rollbar... 16k? isang amplifer na rin yun heheh

sir, driving impression? kaya pa bang bumilis?

my dmax is nearly 15mos old at 39511kms. this week will schedule the 40k kms pms na

very satisfied with it.

aside from the front shocks (claimed against warranty), fan belts, also replaced the battery

replaced the stock battery with a 3sm motolite enduro, from a 2sm (yun puti na MF). 2sm sana but 500 lang add to upgrade to 3sm at 3sm ay fit na fit dun sa battery area nya but wala na sya sapin na plastic tray (to hold daw spilling water/acid from a non-maintenance free battery).

old battery just died. found out two cells was in need of some water. maybe it will continue to function after a recharge but i was on my way to nueva ecija and did not want to take chances so i bought a new battery.

but to my regret i was not able to read thru tsikot.com forums about batteries before buying. may possibility pala mag malfunction mga MF batteries. Enough to even explode. have i known in advance, yun motolite truckmaster or yun recomend type ni mr.otep nalang nabili ko.

All stock Dmax 2004 4x2 MT. except for the vision plus headlight bulbs and the rhino lining.

Planning and saving for the following parts and upgrades:

1) AT tires: Bridegestone 694 and the like
2) clip on tarpouline: for the cargo area. i have seen one on the road but no brand visible
3) hitch or towing gear: to be able to tow those locally made trailers for stuff and live animals.

4) Rancho 5xxxx shocks: stocks are not that durable for my uses

5) stepboards

6) rollbars: to be able to protect the rear widshield and third brake light when carry long items in the bed.

thats all i can think of

all the best to all

sir, fyi. yung MF na battery, brand name yun. i checked yung battery levels using a coin, and voila! nabuksan yung hindi dapat nabubuksan! anyways, aside from the power window na nasira at napalitan wala naman reklamo. medyo me rattle lang yung hood. yung sinasabi ni auto_xer looks yummy. medyo mahal lang pero if have the money in my pocket, i might bring my dmax there after the warranty. at sana maabutan ko yung Hilux right after...

[ian_rex]

sir kimpoy, medyo matagal na rin yung dmax namin pero hanggang ngayon di ko pa-rin napapa flat-out. hanggang 130 km/h lang ako sa NLEX. baka kasi lumagpas sa meycauyan exit. :D saka medyo di ako sanay sa ingay. hehehe

when are you guys going to bring in the facelifted d-max (face ala alterra)?

[cardo]

Fyi... Soon To Arrive (august 2005) Dmax 4x2 Lx - P930k (ckd)...

Ano difference nya sa 4X2 LS M/T na 960k?

[isketi]

D-Max 4x2 A/T, 160 kph tops.

[maxXxed]

170kph with my 2005 4x2 M/T ride

[Psalm136:2]

170kph with my 2005 4x2 M/T ride

Whoa!
May kargada po ba o wala? Di kaya risky kung magpatakbo ng ganitong speed kung magaan ang sasakyan, especially for a pickup truck?

[maxXxed]

unloaded with aerocovered bed, turned the A/C off, on a relatively straight provincial hway stretch.. medyo napasubo, may pajero na gustong mag overtake.. heck, why not? quite scary.. i can feel the rush up into my head.. but it sure brought a wide on my face

...Soon To Arrive (august 2005) Dmax 4x2 Lx - P930k (ckd)...

D-Max with the Alterra's I-TEQ engine? Drool, drool

[Psalm136:2]

I'm a bit surprised as well as amazed at the speed, coz I've read from another thread that one new Fortuner owner reached 140kph on his break-in period and was able to overspeed the Alterra which I think is the same with Dmax in most cases. What do you think of this? Is it because of the added weight of the body compared to a pickup truck?
