my land rover LR3-inspired project
hi everyone! i am pleased to inform you that i finally finished my wee project. i took the truck straight from the showroom to a wheel dealer in west avenue and traded the lame stock tyres and rims for these 20" rotas.
too bad carryboy-banaue ran out of black rain gutters when i went to their shop. goldcars was offering me a blue aeroklas utility box but i said nay. reverse sensors are already installed. i took the stock alpine stereo out and installed my old usb/ ipod-ready pioneer head unit. i had a hard time looking for these fender flares though. all in all, everything was done in less than a day.
i will still try to replace the crome door handles and side mirrors with the flat black ones. i will wait for the utility box and rain gutters that matches my colour of choice. she's now in sorsogon after a 14-hour ride and has so far registered 995 km. ride on brothers and ride tall!
my honda civic's evil step-sister
nice ride
it is hard to find someone to paint or replace the door handles and side mirror black. its harder also to paint chrome stuff because of the need to fix the paint to the chrome surface which needs. which is why i bought a GL model para black na. hehe.
Try to replace the stepboard and rear bumper with an all black model.

*auroraoffroader, thanks for the youtube posts! as far as the Euroncap test, i will definitely drink to that!i hope to see you soon po.
*dadz, you have a PM (personal message) po. thanks...
*arkmikel- love it! two thumbs up! drive it! drive it!just to share with you, the LR3 was actually one of the inspiration models of the Gen 4 Pajero- from the bullfrog wheel arches of the Gen 3 to its simplistic fenderlines of the LR3 that makes the Gen 4. kudos to you for a job well done sir.

just wanna ask for your opinions mga sirs kasi my uncle is selling his 2003 pajero field master eh so planning to get the stock rims sa pajero niya six holes din but i was wondering if kakasya po ba sa strada? maybe the bolt distance is not the same. hopefully the same sila.
eto yung QUick edited pics if ano mas maganda.

bro tanchu-kuhako kung no problem mas pogi sa akin ang pajero mags, ralliart pa.
bro arkmikel me cover na black ang strada yun bang me kasamang signal light, i agree to ale828 mas maganda kung naka full black ka tapos gayahin mo si bro thepatriarch na parating wet look poging pogi ang dating mo.
bro siomai i ask the MMTH they told me na sa design nila is lefthad drive o righthand drive hindi dapat tumabigi ang truck mo, malamang daw na sa suspension ang problema they just told me to tell you na bring it to service and ask them to change all shock and if you request it and your under warranty the dealer should change it. just make sure na papalitan nga nila ang shock at hindi re2medyohan lang.
bro jr1 ganda nag tindig nag truck mo ayos na ayos ang dating.
tancho_kuha: those mags are what I wanted. Are they 15" or 16", there are some that are either / or.
I've seen a few strada's sporting those mags and they fit well.
good luck.
hi everyone!
*jr1 - i got the wheels from n.h.. miller wheels along west avenue in quezon city. someone wrote in this forum that wheels like these could breach the php100T barrier. that holds true kasi sa dami ng napag tanungan ko, nasa php115~120T ang mga quotations na binibigay sa akin ng iba. but guess what, i got this brand new set for just php65T after i traded-in my stock wheels. all-in na yun, meaning tyres + rims + propriety nuts. just so you know, mine are 285/50R20 rota lightweight rims. design is very much similar to the ever expensive volk racing of japan. just look for the shop with a big bridgestone sign along west avenue and ask for a guy named nelson. i lost the shop's phone number, sorry.
*ale828, ianmitsulancer & dadz - i wonder if mitsubishi sells stock parts for GL model like the door handles and side mirrors. nung nag tanong kasi ako sa dealer ko about it, parang di nila ini-encourage na palitan yung mga parts na yun. im trying my best to replace the crome parts with black (except for the emblem and name tags of course). thanks for the advice, 'will think about it.
*siomai - i also noticed that my left side is a li'l bit lower than my right. i am going to mitsubishi naga city on wednesday for them to have a look and see what's wrong.
thank you all for the kind comments and see you on the road.
Salamat po Sir Arkmikel.
Medyo mabigat pla un price and 1 more thing, I ask dyan sa Naga Mitsu (Caleb) if ever na magpapalit ako ng gulong sabi mavovoid daw un warranty ng suspinsion ko.
So un problem mo na lower un isa mo side baka magkaruon ng kaunting problema sa warranty issue dahil you've change ur stocks.
Please let us know what will be the result when u go there mababait naman sila...
*TP-yup will try to check nga. yan din nasa utak ko. hehe.
*dadz- okie thanks for the input sir. yup ralliart na nga.
*av8or5-theyre 16s, sabi ng uncle ko 1 or 3 persons lng meron ganitong color na mags dito sa cebu, karamihan daw is yung balck/smoked color variant.![]()
bro siomai... you mean hindi pa na-resolve ng casa mo yung problem mo? tagal na nun ah!maybe its time for you to change to other casa, hindi maganda ang service nila if they cant resolve that simple problem! lipat ka na sa diamond marcos hiway or quezon ave, at least doon subok na ng strada club na talagang asikaso tayo
opo bosing but just like what i said before nung isang beses sa alley, na-order na nila yung mga piyesa...daw...and nahihiya ako sa dad ko and tita ko na friend niya dahil medyo kilala sila sa diamond c5 kaya baka mapahiya sila... dapat nung umpisa ko nalang ginawa.![]()
