New Mitsubishi Strada [ARCHIVED]

**roadwarrior** · November 4th, 2008 08:51 PM

[quote=*roadwarrior- looking forward to your design. if you have sketches and artistic concepts, please post it po. thanks.[/quote]

how i wish i have the talent which mr go1 has. ciguro my whole waking hour would be spent improving the aesthetics of your beloved pickup.

i'll share to you a secret, before i bought my sorento, i was really bent on getting the strada because i recently sold my gen2 strada then. in fact i already made a downpayment of 500k ( the proceeds of the sale of the gen2 strada)

however prior to the finalization of the deal, a sorento was offered to me (and at a cheap price at that) and i immediately fell in love with it. luckily my sales representative was a cool and understanding guy and he allowed me to withdraw the whole 500k deposit. kaya pag bibili ako, hahanapin ko yung s.r. na yun para sa kanya kumuha.

but kung pick up ang binili ko. definitely strada. white. 3.2. 4x4. (naglalaway tuloy ako.)

the one thing lang na di ko nagustuhan sa strada is the bed which was sloping downward (parang manok na nawalan ng buntot imo) that's why i have been researching the net on how to improve its aesthetics. the modifications that i have found to be pretty are the panther concept and the evo 1 which mr go1 is now bent on improving.

i may not be a strada owner yet, but i'm with you in your wish to make your beloved strada better.

saw one of those bedlids plying in eastwood libis last week...its almost the same thing, but kind of mesh that goes down.

Try also to check your tire pressure, maybe it is too much above 30 psi which is normal for no load condition.

ah ok.. siguro naninibago lang kapag walang load. hehe pero I'm very
happy with my new rides. Tipid na, malakas pa humatak. tnx again sir

:toast::groupwave:

if that would be available in the market nothing can stop me from finally taking the plunge and buying that strada....

My kids won't approved of anything that will cover the bed

. The bed is their favorite place hehe.

I completed the right side fenders yesterday. Will start working on the left side fender flares today and hopefully I can do the painting by Friday. I like the warmer metallic grey fender color of our Sorento so that will be the color that I will be using.

. thanks for posting the pictures. it was great seeing the "evolution"! of a set of seamless fender flares!

Hopefully painting of the fender flares will be completed by Friday so we can proceed with our planned dry run of the trails this Saturday.

Thanks, sir Nismo. This is just a hobby hehe. It was more than 10 years ago when I also added fender flares to my previous nissan pick-up and the hilux of my in-laws.

probably it would be nice if the tires are bigger para labas ng konti and there is a wider stance (mas macho dating). but that would be another project.

dont mind me, i'm bad influence hahaha.

and yes i noticed in your previous posts that your kids love to ride on the bed and i just think it would be safe if they have something to hold on to if they stand on the bed.

roadwarrior.

you are really good at what you are doing. congrats
