Strada at Pinatubo

[DonT]

Finally I got some time to drive my Strada off road.
It was a good opportunity for me to do try 4x4 driving and do some hiking as well.
1. Flat Roads - 2hrs from Bulacan
2. Offroad - 1 hour from Brgy Juliana
3. Trekking - 2 hrs up to the Crater


Typical Vehicles for hire in the area. Can be rented for 2,500 pesos.

It was really great to be able to try the 4H and 4L. There were 4 to 5 small banks/ streams where one should be careful in maneuvering. With a lot of loose rocks and boulders scattered along the route, I am really glad that the height of the strada did pretty well.

Overall...with my 100% stock Strada...it was 100% fun.

sir DonT, nice pics!
..parang gusto ko bumalik sa pinatubo. pumunta kami feb 2007. buti hindi sumayad strada mo. ang lalaki ng bato dun a..mejo malaki gulong na ginamit ko. 275/70/16.
BALIK tayo!!

[DonT]

Docglen...when I was there..I was really concerned na baka sumayad...pero amazingly..hindi .

Plus the fact that I was using the stock H/T tires..fully inflated.

Another thing..If ever I go back there again..I woud considering taking out the stepping board. mababa kasi siya.

If you remove those stepboards make sure you replace it with rock sliders to protect the rocker panel. Also a good set of tire would be better than the HT as those can get ripped by the rocks easily.

huwaw...you can rent those LC's for 2500? wish i could even buy one and export it to the US :sigh:

nice pictures sir DonT. Na miss mo talaga ang strada mo. humataw ka na agad sa pinatubo.

docglen, i think this calls for the club to go 4x4 (of course only 4x4 stradas should go)

bro san na kaka bili ng slider??
balak ko kasi palitan stepboard ko..kahit pang aesthetics lang sa city kasi ako madalas..hehe

[DonT]

* redorange - thanks for the tip. Will keep that in mind.

* Av8or5 - Your welcome sir. I think it would not be a problem kung 4x2, as long as there's somebody in the group with a 4x4 and a sling.

* eslonblue - HT lang din tires ko. all stock. 1 hour ride till the trekking starting point. two way naman yun. Not sure about all the details sa rental since I brought my truck. 6 pax ata kasiya.

Not sure about the Strada but any 4x4 shop should be able to get one fabricated for you once they have the measurements for your truck.

Edit:

Found this for TJM

Maybe you can have a shop copy it or find out who sells it in the Philippines. Also check ARB if they ahve one for the Strada.

thank you sir DonT and Redorange
