275/70/16"s on pajero 2dr?

**nikko m** · July 17th, 2003 09:31 PM

guys,
will this tire size fit(saw it kce in my titos lc80) in the 2dr. paj?yun 2nd gen look?gusto ko kce medyo labas yun tires eh,my current tire size is just 235/70/16"s,medyo pasok tingnan sa front eh,medyo pangit,gusto ko labas konte yun tires.would this be possible kaya?hindi kaya sasayad sa turns?and the big tires will affect its speed right?stock hight lang yun,and street tires lang for highway used.

and what can you suggest to enhance its looks?external lang,naka mags na sha,nka bilsteins na shocks and new headlamps.ano pa kaya pwede gawin for it to be unique,hehe..meron bang roofrails ang 2dr?wala na kce akong maisip eh.how about skid plates?mga how much kaya to?

another option ko rin is to lift it,then swamper tires then snorkel,umm...kso lang mahal ng mga suspension components eh,plus mabagal sa highway.

Im using the exact tire size you mentioned. However, mine is a wide body. Anong model ng Pajero ba sayo Nikko? Jtop or Metal top? If you have fender flares, sakto yan no mods necessary. If you dont, your gonna have a mudbath every time you tread across a puddle (which may be good depending on your off road orientation.)

like yours pre,2 dr. nga lang,sa prov. parang toy ko lang and pang tow, im just fixing it up a bit. nagagamit ko lang nman kce when i go home. cge ill get that one nalang.

and im also thinking of installing 18"s in the 4dr or pwede sa 2dr din, tingin mo,ok kaya?meron bnew with tires,mga 60 series ata yun tires for 50k,worth it kaya?

Iwasan mo na yung roofrails or roof basket unless gagamitin mo talaga. Baka mag-cause lang ng undue wind noise sa highway. Skidplates? Better get serious ones since gagastos ka na din. Fabricate using steel 'diamond pattern' plates instead of the overpriced JAOS ones (na manghihinayang ka pang gamitin).

Btw, ano ba lumang headlamp niyan? Yung hindi flush mounted? Pwedeng akin na lang? Hehehe. Para naman hindi mukhang kotse yung ride ko.

**pajerokid** · July 18th, 2003 12:23 PM

Nikko: I think 18"s with HTs are ok. Kaya lang, youll be restricted to roads only. i havent seen 18" ATs in local shops yet. I think 275/70-16s would be perfect for both your Pajes.

Otep:: Pare, hindi kasya yung circular lights nung SWB sa Pajero natin. :D Believe me, ive tried. Pogi sana eh. The problem is, the metal (forgot the name) behind the headlight for the SWB, has a hole to accomodate the circular lamp. ours dont have the said hole.

otep,
plano ko kce sa roofrails is kabitan ng foglamp na raybrig,yun isa lang,more like auxilary lamp.and mga how much ba skid plates na jaos?is it that expensive?ganda kce tingnan ng may skidplate eh.if pa fabricate,saan kaya?and mga how much?

pajerokid,
o nga eh,ill stick nalang with my 16"s,at least tires nlang prob. ko.

but guys,kung 15"s,ano maganda for the paj?uso pa ba mga american racing na chromes?do you guys know a shop who sells AR wheels?

OT
ANo ba itsura ng Skid Plate?? baka pwede ko pa gawa dito sa mga fabricators namin... naka pag magawa na ko ng heavy duty Jack Stand

Nikko,

Ok lang roof rails basta pang-Mitsu. Yung sa Montero namin, pang-GM (Tahoe, Suburban) kaya medyo alangan ang look. hehehe. Pogi nga kapag may roof lamp sa driver's side kaso bihira na ang original na Raybrig roof lamp sa market today.

Mahal sobra ang mga JAOS brand na parts. Lamp stays alone cost more around Php 15-20K and it does nothing much other than hold lamps. Yung skidplates nila mirror finish naman. How do you expect it to be used on obstacles (both on road and off) without getting marred and bent beyong recognition? At least the stock skidplate (front underguard and diff protector as well as the tranny and tank guard) can easily be banged back into shape and konting spray lng Pylox, good as new na.

If you want to have something fabricated, use 1/8" thick steel or 1/4" thick aluminum preferably yung diamond plate para hindi halata ang expected damages.

Nightrock,

Skidplates ang tawag dun sa underbody protection devices sa ilalim ng mga SUV. Sa Pajero may front underguard (sa ilalim ng front bumper yung naka-slant), front diff guard (after the front underguard), transmission guard (under the t-case) and fuel tank guard. hehehe. Astig noh, walang ganyan ang mga kotse.
