My uncle had a B2200 back in the mid-90's. He fitted Safari alloy wheels to it but I think he downsized the tires to 30X9.5R15 instead of the usual 31X10.5R15 used by the Safari.

He had the t-bars cranked and new rear shackles fabbed up.

Btw, don't forget to re-aim your headlamps after changing the vehicle's ride height.

Sumasabit pag umiikot... hmmmm, dapat sinilip muna sa ilalim kung may sasabit bago nyo binili ang sasakyan. Ang standard size ng mags for Safari na 3 spokes ay 15x7, dapat ang gomang nakakabit ay 31x10.5x15 or in your case 29x8.5x15. Pwede pa gawan ng remedyo yan, adjust ang limiter bolt sa bandang likod ng disc brake plate. Yun nga lang medyo liliit ang birada ng sasakyan nyo pero sigurado namang hindi masisira sa kakasabit ang goma.

O nga pala, before I forget, Welcome po sa tsikot boards! :D

Erratum: "dapat sinilip muna sa ilalim kung may sasabit bago nyo binili ang gulong."

Sorry for the confusion. :D Hirap pala mag type ng may kausap na ibang tao, hehehe.

my cousin had one before too. when he changed to 15" rims he put 225/65R15 tires so walang sayad. also the design flow of the engine can be attributed to not using original oil filters. since very expensive ang originals almost 1k before, people use replacement oil filters which tend to collapse the insides of the filter restricting oil to the engine. i have one friend who has more than 250k and still going strong. yung lang ang bed ay malaglag na sa rust.

try to put aux lights sa ilalim ng bumper, may holes provided already just get the plastic cover and enlarge a bit, american version look. use hella comet 450 or bosch pilot. black out mo b pillars. and pa double contact mo signal lights sa front bumper.

I'm selling OEM oil filters for the B2200. Para ito dapat sa Kia Besta 2.2 ko (same engine). Pero nabenta yung Besta before the intended service stop.

Main and bypass filter yung sakin (complete set bale). Php 500.00 ko lang binebenta. Nasa box pa (ng Kia) with original hologram stickers.

sirs,
i just had the torsion bars cranked yesterday, 2" yata, no more sayad during turning, kaya lang naging bumpy yung ride , pantay na sila nung rear (hindi nakatingala), shackles naman papalit ko mamaya and wheel alignmnent. also, had the timing belt replaced, sinunod ko lahat ng advice ng gurus dito sa tsikot because i know you guys are the best. thanks, fog lamps naman . . . palagi ng nakangiti si mrs ngayon kasi may itsura na daw yung pick up unlike nung una.

sir otep, interested ako sa oil filters mo, pwede ba yan sa kia R4 2.5? pagbalik namin from zambo (may kaunting mission) can i contact you? ty in advance

atongk,

Shave mo yung upper bumpstops ng suspension mo para hindi gaanong matagtag. Ito yung rubber which limits the downward movement of the suspension. May mga nabibiling low profile bumpstops pero kung on a budget ka, just use a saw on your existing ones.

About the oil filters, hindi ako sure about the R42.5 engines. Sa Mazda B2200 at Besta 2.2 (or other models which use the same engine).

bors,
question. . . napalitan ko na lahat ng parts nitong b22 na ito, oks naman, sulit sa gastos, one last problemo (sana) mabilis tumaas ang temp nya specially kung matraffic and naka aircon, also kung tumatakbo siya (100kph pataas). A mechanic adviced me to double the aux fan w/c i immediately complied with pero ganoon pa din, yung radiator nya, 2 rows lang daw. Will replacing the radiator with three(3) rows fix the problem, others mechanics told me that an FX radiator will fit in the space. What should i do ???? saan ba nakakabili nito, any idea on how much ???? CONFUSED na ako. . .
Thanks a lot
