So di po pwede dito yung ordinary key duplication at ingatan din natin yung susi na di mag error..Thanks again sa info.

Aside from the pogi points

, I am trying to educating newbies of the function of the different buttons that you see around.

Yup, right you are, I am one of those who got the first shipment of the 4m41 stradas.

Was the front bumper cut to accomodate the ARB?

Any volunteer to test the piggy back system na dadalin ko for dyno test to see the additional HP and torque, im planning to have it dyno in speed lab and auto plus to demo the piggy back system also mga bro's baka me naka fortuner kayo na kilala also for test and demo of piggy back system im looking for triton and fortuner.

All piggy back system is plug and play wala pong putulan nag wire kaya safe padin po kayo for service hindi ma apektuhan ang warranty.

AFAIK, yes, it was a bumper cut because the bumper is merged with the front grille- specifically the centerpiece Mt. Fuji part with the Mitsubishi logo so if it was a total bumper removal, pati yan kasali din EXCEPT for the 2006-2007 GLX 4x4 like Fellow BOSBs Mr_Incredible and Bluemica na separate chrome grille and stock front bumper (originally unpainted black).

With this type of bumper, My concerns are:
1. the removal of the foglamps.
2. pedestrian safety.

Hi guys! Newbie here..

Im very happy to say that we got our new black GLS just last week

.
I never thought that I'd be converted from a strada hater to a lover overnight!

It was my wife's decision to buy a strada, for I've always wanted a trekker.
Well obviously,she has a better taste than I do.

But during our test drives, I noticed that our unit swerves to the right every time i let go of the wheel...and yes, the wheel is not normally aligned in the center.

How can this happen to a brand new car? Did any of you sirs experienced the same thing?

Other than those above mentioned concerns, overall, the truck looks and feels great. Is there a strada club here in davao?

Yes, I saw during the mini-eb that the lower portion of the bumper and even the fender flares had to be cut away.

I saw in one Australian website where the original foglamps had been incorporated neatly to the ARB bumper. They foglamp frame had to be trimmed though so that they will fit.

Congratulations, sir Bertobol, for being a covert and an owner of a black GLS Strada

.

Regarding your veering problem, I suggest you bring yur Strada back to the casa to have your unit aligned. I did not experience that when I drove home my brand new unit.
