New Mitsubishi Strada [ARCHIVED]

[numbah5]

Update on my Strada:

Kahapon pina 20k PMS yung Strada. Sinabay na rin yung mga repairs except yung sa TPMS (may butas pala yung spare tire). And all I can say is that our casa really did a good job. Nawala yung squeeking sound ng rear shocks at hindi na kumakabig yung manibela sa kanan kapag binitawan. And thank God hindi rin uneven height yung Strada ko. Whew!!

Hi all!

New black GLS Sport owner here since Thursday! Got our truck from Diamond Quezon Ave and got a pretty good deal!

I'm just glad to have found this thread which has been quite helpful for me in my search for mods and upgrades for the Strada.

Just want to ask a couple questions that some of you fellow owners and enthusiasts may be able to help me out with:

1. My unit is installed with the JVC head unit with a USB port on the front. My prob is that I can't get my iPod to be recognized by the stereo when connecting directly via USB. Kept getting a "CHECK" message if I recall correctly.

Has anyone found a way to connect their iPods successfully this way? Or did some of you purchase the optional JVC wired iPod connector which hooks up to the rear CD changer port? If so, can anyone advise as to where I can purchase this wire and its price?

2. Secondly, was backreading a bit on this thread and I notice some of you have installed 20 in. wheels. Looks on great on the Strada and would love to maybe go this route in the near future. I noticed though that those with 20's were also running HT tires. Are there AT tires available locally in the same 285/50/20 sizes? I like the more aggressive pattern of AT tires that's why.

3. And related to the above, I may also look into installing the OME lift kit for an extra 2" to go with the 20's. With this setup, would I be able to go with a 285/55/20 tire? Or what would be a proper size tire to fit the wheels so as to fill the new 2" fender gap better?

4. Lastly, I'm also in need of a good roll top cover at the soonest possible time. Next week if possible. Would anyone know the approximate price of the Carryboy motorized roll top? And if it's available now or on order basis?

Sorry for the lengthy post and thanks in advance to anyone who may have any further input! Would be great to hear from you all!! I look forward to your replies!!

Hindi naman siya pumapasok as long as umaandar ka me bro kami from malaysia noong tumirik siya sa river then lang nag start pumasok ang tubig but not much search mo sa you tube under barndenfoo of 4x4 triton malaysian talagang makikita mo lakas at tibay nag truck natin. me plan nga na expedition singapore-malaysian-thailand-cambodia and back hehehehehehhehe kaya mag antay lang kami dito to join the expedition next plan is upto vietnam. Remember nga pala na medyo mababa ang ECU natin nasa side lang ay teka baka iba diyan dito it is on the left side wall.

I will try going deeper then and avoid stalling. Thanks for reminding me about the ECU. Hopefully matuloy yang plano ninyo na cross-country expedition. Joining the expedition should be very exciting.

Nice truck bro GO1 very nice

i'll change my tires soon if that's the case sir.

hi, maybe i could consider myself complainer here but i always find solutions.


i change my tires and rear shock and it serves me well. no more hopping, no more changing lanes or anything to worry me...

jackhammering steering... hehehehheee,, i think its common maybe of the shock or coil spring...

i would suggest any AT type of tires but not bridgestone pls. Well i guess ms. piggyprincess knows the condition from davao to cotabato coz the road is much worser than what you think or maybe try davao-cdo coz i know you will complain a lot.I'm running around 120-180kph and my new upgrades serves me well....

i hope that I'm right... please try to change your tires and shocks... it's my opinion i have good pleasurable driving after the change.

Good day to everyone...

To Hockenheim... Mukhang naligaw sa Japan and taga-Germany, ah?.. Anyway, nice choice of ride Bro.. Nice color too (German Elegance)...

If you're planning to change your stock mags to 20" in the near future. You might want to sell them? Am interested...

Also had a utility box with front lid opening installed yesterday at Carryboy. Got the small unit for 18.5k...

Next on the list are the 17" mags, the front nudge guard, the roll bars... Mukhang walang katapusang upgrades ito, ah?..

Again, enjoy your rides, Bros...

Happy trailing Bro Dadz. By the way, nakita ko mga pictures ng mga stradas ninyo diyan sa Thailand na lumulusong sa malalim na tubig. Ask ko lang sana kung hindi pumapasok ang tubig sa loob ng cabin. Gusto ko rin sana na dalhin yung strada ko sa malalim na tubig pero ayoko rin naman na mabasa ang loob nito hehe. 10 years ago nag-river crossing ako gamit ko 4x2 nissan pick-up, baha sa loob ng cabin.

Been raining here in Baguio-Benguet everyday. I miss the sunshine. Here are pics taken during the sunny days of June.

COOL!!!

[promdiboy]

guys just curious, pag river crossing na umabot sa kalahati ng gulong, diba nakaka cause ng contamination sa grease ng bearings (front and axle)? and yung breathers ng diffs and tranny di kaya abutin? pag baha kasi dito sa amin, nakita ko more than half ng gulong hintay muna ako bumaba. kundi gastos nanaman pa repack.
