GLS 3.2L Strada Closeup

[drey]

Congrats sir Dont...

Parang aliw na aliw anak mo ah!

[DonT]

Two things.

Curious why it has a bottle jack, and if it would reach the jack mounting points of that truck (with such a small jack and much higher ground clearance)? Also is it rated for that truck? I think that's only a 2 ton jack. I know the Strada might be just within the jack's limit but if I were you I'd get something much bigger.

Another is why is the hood pad too small? Napansin ko hindi covered yung buong hood. I just found it weird.

Great observation. I will check out the jack..But I do not know what to do with the hood pad. Its strange nga.

* Drey and 2Dmax..thanks.

I will be posting also some pictures of accesories added to my strada. stay tuned.

Parking Sensors

[drey]

Nice... Is the parking sensor stock?

[alwayz_yummy]

sana po yung front sensor pinalagay mo sa almost corner, not there-->mas kailangan siya dun,e....

sa rear, sana 4 -5 na sensor para may sa corner, mid and center ng rear...

oh well, ok na din yan...

Same to what I had in mind. But sabi ng nila wala daw available nung 4 pcs sa likod. And then, yung sa harap makes sense to put in the corners..pero meron ba nakapagpakabit there? most cars with two sensors in front are not placed in corners kasi di ba.

Anyway. magadang tips yan for the other guys who are planning to install one in the future.

Hi DonT, kinda new here and looking around. . . . i like your Strada just what i want as well for the baha trips i go through when it pours. White - same color as my car and i just visited the thread for maintaining white paint.

[ninja_cool]

Hay!!!!! patay na patay talga ako dito sa strada nuon yung hi-lux ngayon e2 ganda itsura ASTIG!!!! mas mura pa. kung my pera lang ako bibili ako mamaya hehehehehe!!!!

[DonT]

Thanks Ericmm for checking out my thread..Kung pang baha talaga ayos ito..he he. But comfort wise, I still like the new Grand Carnival. Parang nasa business class ang feeling kapag nakasakay.

As a compromise, Nissan Patrol have both features, but its way too much expensive.

Ninja_cool, trade in mo na lang muna yung mga cars niyo.

nice naman ng white! it was my first choice but according to paco dealer, inubos daw lahat ng Maynilad.. so i let my wife pick the color and she chose red...

Same with me..we chose between the Red and White...kaso available daw ang white...so white it was. Pero mas sporty talaga tignan ang red.

welcome po..

meron po ko nakikitang 4 pieces for the rear...medyo mahal lang...

for me po, kung 2 sensors lang sa front, better pa sa corner ilagay kasi po pag sa loob ka, mas blind spot ang corners lalo na ang right side than the middle part....

ganun din ang rear--4sensors: corners and middle.. kung may 5th sensor un sa gitnang gitna...

sensors naman are used mainly for parking and not pantanchan sa kahap mo po,e...

Reverse camera okay din just like yung sa Carnival ko, its very helpful kita mo sa monitor distance from the car or wall behind.

[alwayz_yummy]

pero po pick-up po ride nya,e..mahirap lagyan ng camera..

plus camera may blind-spot parin... if you can camera, plus coner sensors ok na ok na yun...

OT:eric > saan mo nakuha camera mo, unless standard feature yan ng carival parkII mo(crdi na ba?)

[ericmm]

oo nga pala walang paglalagyan my mistake. . sayang. .

my carnival kase is korea model 2002 so hindi crdi and standard yung reverse camera which is situated sa itaas ng plate number near the back door handle. i don't go around that much pero meron ng reverse camera sa market right?

[DonT]

Thanks for the input guys...mas maganda nga sana mas madami. pero I noticed, sa mga top end SUV's lang ako nakaka kita ng 4pcs to 5 pcs na backing sensors. Sa mga Lexus 470 at Porsche Cayenne ganun ang configuration.

[alwayz_yummy]

mas mahal kasi pag maraming sensors,e...anywayz, gandah!

thinking of getting one, pero baka used one, yung manual na 3.2L...gandang trail/camp vehicle

Hi! Im new here. Super ok talaga thread na to. Im thinking of buying a pick up and so far very convincing ang mga reviews ng 3.2 GLS. Very useful to sa mga outdoor activities namin. Thank you sa mga inputs nyo and more power.
