Bro, post ka na lang ng bago. I see nothing wrong with post no. 8375 to merit deleting it.

Yep nismo26, I was already in the hunt for this rim the first time I saw this ralliart, though I was almost tempted to settle for another one kasi ang hirap maghanap ng orig nito.

Thanks Dont! I just made sure height on all corners are within a cm of each other. Panget kasi lifted but naka-tagilid

Sure Bro Dadz! One week ako dito sa probinsya kukuyakuyakoy kaya marami time. I'm already looking for some mild off-road tracks to put my truck to test. Pray for rain...pray for rain...para maputik at cinematic ang epek

I still have my stock 16' rims and tires, used until 15k on the odo for those who are interested.

Cool ride!

Sir, any observations or feedback regarding steering wheel feel? Did you upgrade your struts at the same time you changed rims/tires?

**Jet A-1** · February 23rd, 2009 12:59 AM

av8or5, the place is in the outskirts of Tagbilaran, Bohol. There are some places here that would have provided more challenge but they are a little bit far kaya dito na lang muna sa malapit. I was back home in one piece in less than 2 hours

.

Pol, no change in the steering wheel feel and eveything else remains stock. I drove 60 this pm on a well-paved road and simulated quick overtaking and the truck is as stable as you would wanted it. I sped up to 80 doing much quicker turns and and shocks held the truck up real nice. I have to restrain myself going faster and turning quicker because that would be uncharted territory for me.

Dadz, I'm trying to post more pictures sana kaya lang nagkaproblema ako sa photobucket account ko. Sensya na. Truck did well this pm. No 'oscillations' and bouncing. May mga nadaanan akong mga malalimlalim kanina, steady yung buong truck. Pwede na 'to sa mga bario bario fiesta dito

^ Reminds me..is there any limit on how much a truck can be lifted? Kasi di ba the center of gravity is shifted higher...which consequently 'might' lower down the speed at which a speeding vehicle can turnover.

Yes DonT (am I not contradicting myself here?...hehe just kidding), the higher the vehicle is lifted, the more unstable it becomes. Now as to the threasholds before safety is breached, that I don't know. Let's hear the experts' take on this.

Another thing that makes 'tall' vehicles unstable is uneven height, which is very much prevalent on our stradas. I saw one parked at MOA. I can't see how the owner seem not to care na parang flat isang gulong kung maka-tagilid yung sasakyan

. So I urge everyone to take measurements on all 4 corners of your stradas.

Just do it!!! (wala akong makitang logo ng nike, hehehe)

I'm not the type who backs off from a dare...so with sir ooba99's encouragement, I went again to this site this morning and drove my truck all the way straight up that hill...complete with loose gravel, jutting jagged edged rocks, seemingly insurmountable boulders and confusing thicket. The trail (or lack of one) ripped my tires to shreds but I'm planning naman talaga to buy MIkey Thompsons (waaah). Nah, I made this all up

more pics, same site

Nice pics of your Strada and the trail site, sir Jet!

**ooba99** · February 23rd, 2009 10:36 AM

Congratulations for making it to the top of that hill! O di ba, sisiw lang.

Now you are ready for a more challenging route... real off-road.

We have one club member from Tagbilaran... egaysky. You may want to interact with him whenever you are in Bohol. Judging from his profile, he looks like the outdoor and adventurous type of person.

Also, when you are here in Manila, you may want to join us in one of our club's EB.

**Arvin Cristi** · February 23rd, 2009 10:40 AM

sir Jet, yan ang tamang gamit ng strada natin!! hehehehehe nice to have you join the club of members who push their trucks to the limit!!! ehehehhehehe

ingat lang sir pag gagawa ka ng sarili mong trail....basic rule of 4x4 trail is wlak thru the proposed trail first to see the condstion and obstacles.

have a great time!!!

**Jet A-1** · February 23rd, 2009 01:03 PM

Sirs, linawin ko lang na I didn't went straight up that hill as told (and suggested by the pics). I did was able to get to the top (it's a cell site, I think) but I took a long detour...Kwentong 'yung lolo ko mas magaling' lang yun. And yung Mikey thompson, pangarap lang yun

G01, wala lang kasing magawa for the next several days. One nice thing dito sa probinsya is that is seems all destinations are w/in easy reach kasi walang traffic.

Thanks for the valuable tip, Arvin Crisiti. I'm a novice on this thing kaya hinay-hinay lang ako.

ooba99, thanks for the invite. Yep, egaysky is from our place. Our schedules just wouldn't allow us to meet kasi he's also abroad most of the time. Yes sir, someday I'll join your EB's, thanks again!

Drive Inspired!

**Jet A-1** · February 24th, 2009 08:48 PM

Dadz, shocks did well in rough roads. Walang bouncing pag nag-negotiate ng malalim na lubak. As I've said in my previous post, it held the the truck up real nice. Truck (especially the rear) sways before with the old shocks during high speed lateral movements but now, I hardly felt it after I did quick turns at moderate speeds. I don't know if the ladder-type chasis needs reinforcement but the shocks definitely helps. And not that I drive that way but I just would want to make sure I and the truck can do it if the need arises. Ride's a bit stiffer alright but I'll trade that to a much more stable ride...anytime. This said, mitsu was able to strike a really good compromise between stability and ride quality in the strada compared to other pickups, stock for stock

ianmitsulancer, I'm just chilling out here in the province. My kidz suggested we spent a day or two in our househelps' place this summer. Their place is really what we call far-flung, they have to walk 7kms to reach their house kase grabe daw kalubak at mabato yung daan. Sabi pa nung isang helper ko e tumutubo daw yung bato sa kanila (may halong kwentong supersition pa 'to, nakanganga na mga kidz ko sa pakikinig) kaya di daw uubra yung sasakyan ko....Waah, ayoko na baka makadaan kami ngayon, may pader na na bato kinabukasan

.

mdksael, I was a frequent visitor there in balilihan during my cockfighting days. Yep, your surname sounds familiar. I know of one jenifer way back during my elem days in HSS. See you soon kabayan

**dadz** · February 24th, 2009 11:01 PM

Im glad that you are satisfied with the shock hope it's well worth for your money, keep on trailing my friend and enjoy the outdoor.

Keep In Mind This 3 Simple Rule...............
1

Kill nothing but time
2

Leave nothing but foot prints/tire prints
3

Take nothing but pictures

Best of luck in you 4wheeling adventures.

sir, you might want to put up an aggregate business then! hehehe :peace:

kidding aside, im sure the strada will be of big help with this and your other off-road excursions...

Nice to hear that as a first hand testimony, sir Jet A-1. And hearing that, it is reassuring that we made the right choice in choosing the strada as one of our everyday ride.
