Hi Guys!

Been lurking for sometime na...waiting lang ng konti para sa new Strada GLX... And by the time na mailabas yung Strada ko eh makasama sa EB and maging member na din ng club niyo.. :D

Your thread is very helpful. Madami na ako natutunan about sa Strada and also for the future upgrades that I'm planning.

welcome to the thread, and we are glad that the thread helped you and we anticipate you joining the club.

Sir,

+1 ako kay Lcrc, ganda ng truck nyo. Seeing that, soft cover talaga and dapat sa akin Strada.

Also, seeing that, nag overnight kayo sa Clark? May mga BoSBs who are also into bicycling, maybe may mabuong cycling group?

Mr. Moderator, may request before na "BoSBs na mahilig pumadyak" thread.

sir pwede kayo mismo mag start ng new thread.

actually, si docglen dapat ang mag-penalty... last minute nagcancel... pero i can understand... sabi nga ni pacman: "yu knew!" hehehe, docglen 'drenk his melk ferst!'

we will divide the supplies so if our treasurer can't be there, other officers can distribute.

Assembly time for the SAGADA event, November 26, 2009, 8 pm at the gravel parking area of Metrowalk. The northboys can meet us at Shell NLEX around 9 pm.

Please bring your Motorola Talkabouts or compatible handsets to be used in the convoy.

Newbies are very welcome to join us. You can test your strada since we will also have an off-road trail ready for us to play. And the club, in cooperation with the city officials of Baguio City, will have a tree planting activity na rin during the weekend.

Thanks Sir!

Actually, I'm from the Outlander club... I believe we are cousins hehehe... Need to shift sa pickup, so we decided to let go of our Outlander and get a Strada...

Will keep you posted guys if nakuha ko na Strada and hopefully will join the club as well..

Welcome to tsikot.com, welcome to the strada thread.

It's nice to know that you appreciated and learned from the exchanges of information here regarding the strada.

Hope that you can get your strada soon and become one of us.

Drive inspired!

sabi po nung sa mitsu q ave, di siya covered ng warranty. i don't know why. may kasabay din ako nun na nagtanung eh, same thing din nangyari sa strada niya.

siguro tubig ulan ang cause nito. ano po kaya maganda gawin para magamot tong sakit na ito?

Hi sir!

basing from your pics...

nag occur yung rust after magasgasan yung pinaka paint nung tip ng bed mo siguro sir may nakarga ka na hindi mo napansin na naka gasgas dun sa tip ng bed mo.......so IMO I think you cannot demand kasi nagasgasan sya before nag occur yung rust kasi nawala na nga yung pinaka topcoat pati yung primer so since exposed na sya sa elements mag kaka rust talaga yan.......and I also think that the rust warranty can only be demanded kapag undamage yung part then saka kinalawang....


But what I would advice you to do bro, since its barely noticeable naman and sino ba naman ang may gustong makakita ng kalawang sa auto diba? hehe DIY mo nalang.....so here's my tip...... lihahin mo ng konti with a fine sand paper yung rusted part just enough to remove the rust....and then buy a spray paint that is nearest to the color of your truck....tapos spray mo sa cotton buds saka mo ipahid ng pa dot dot(style ni bigblock) dun sa part na nagasgas at niliha mo....just make sure na wag magtutulo yung buds ah....so after nun pag tuyo na...bili ka ng interior sa mga vulcanizing shop na sakto para matakpan yung painted part... tapos ipit mo dun sa ilalim ng bedliner for it not to move..... para nun wag na sya ulit magasgas...=D

BTW its Just an advice bro to give you a DIY option....but you could always consult a real painter for the repair

Hope it helps..

Waaahhh... di ako makakasama.. sobrang daming work... sana next time makasama na ko.. By the way sir, can I drop by dyan sa assembly nyo bukas sa metrowalk to get my sticker and T-shirt? Para in spirit eh kasama ako ng club sa SAGADA event kahit na stuck ako dito sa Ortigas.....

I use to DIY minor paint job, if you will DIY don,t forget to coat it first w/ primer, then sealed it with w/ finish coat. Primer & finish paint in cans (aerosol)will not cost you more than P 300.

Which among the two colors would you choose? Thanks!

pinkflod, parang maganda din yan beige, cool color at di masyado dumihin.....

[Pol-pol]

*beni23,

Sir, if you are referring to the tailgate hinge, I have the same rust occurence. I spray wd-40 on it occasionally. I am thinking of trying that white lithium grease to see if it will provide a long term solution.

Thanks sir mdksael! Actually Im already considering the beige color since Im not really sure kung meron nga quartz brown for GLX varaint. Sabi at again, sabi, lang ng SA ko sa Citimotors Alabang meron. Just need for me to deposit a certain amount para maorder na. Since oorderin pa ito. Dont know kung sales tactic lang or shes telling the truth.

sir you can always change SA... try mo yung recommended ng club si Jessa with citimotors las pinas, just go to the club site under establishments tab.

a pleasant day to everyone!!! i've been reading and monitoring this thread for the past 2 weeks since back at the time i was still contemplating which pick-up to buy. anyway, im grateful to you tscp members, who are patient enuf answering queries and giving advices to your fellow members and prospective members, because you are influential in my choice, not to mention the ideas you have shared to further improve the "astig" look of your strada.

i'm planning of getting a glx unit from citimotors makati. unfortunately though, my preferred red color is not available at the moment so i opted to get beige color instead. hopefully, i can have the unit by the first week of december (fingers crossed).

keep your ideas coming and more power to TSCP!!!!

Sir av8or5, I texted Jessa of CM Las Pinas, regarding the availability of the quartz brown GLX. According to her GLS lang meron (probably GLS Sport din). But I dont know kung saan nakuha ng SA ng CM Alabang na meron GLX na quartz brown. Shes SOOOO confident answering me na meron daw ganun color sa GLX. At gusto na nya ako magdeposit para maorder na. Ayaw ko naman mag purchase ng beige na GLX tapos biglang may makasabay naman akong quartz brown na GLX! ARUY.

Thanks sir!

Sir why dont you try Diamond Motors Valle Verde if you want the Marlboro Red GLX. Likewise, Diamond Motors Marcos Highway. Ive seen alot of this color there.
