pajero fieldmaster question

**promdiboy** · October 31st, 2003 02:06 AM

pagsakay ko parents ko nagrereklamo pangit daw sa ride ng pajero 2.5 ko, mas masarap daw sumakay sa luma naming gen 2. i think isang reason yung inch lift kaya tumagtag and lumakas body roll.. imho

Never noticed that "nakakahilo" effect but I wasnt really fully satisfied with my Pajero's ride either. I had Ironman coils installed on the rear and had the front height adjusted thru the torsion bar (?) Now, not only did it give my Paj a 2" lift but also a more stable and comfortable ride. I'll post pics of the new "look" soon.

PROMDIBOY, very very nice observation! its quite possible since the center of gravity is higher because of the 1" body lift of the gen2.5

benchph1, ser ako lang po nag-imbento ng term na gen2.5

Hindi pa po siya gen3 because ang iniba lang naman ay yung blister fenders and some suspension parts (front stabilizers, settings). In short, its just a cosmetic change, but since noticeable and hindi naman all-new, gen2.5 lang

The 2.85L 4M40 engine has been around since 1993! Panahon pa ng orig Gen2. Kaya lang, ang bait bait ng MMC Philippines.... 1999 na nilabas dito! Grrrr!!!

Tom, welcome to the boards dude! Nice work on the Prado! Beautiful mags!

The GEN 2.5 is essentially a GEN II in different clothes. Same frame, same underpinnings. Even the engines are the same. Hindi lang nga offered sa atin ang 2.8 noon. Pero sa ibang markets may GEN II na 2.8.

sarap nga ng fieldmaster eh..sanay ka lang sa hammer hijo bubbles...

iba lang kasi talaga ang ride niya compared sa hammer...o baka naman laspag na ung shocks nung kaibigan mo...

sir bubble bka nasanay lang po cguro tlga tayo maging driver parati dba? iba kc ang nag ddrive ska pasenger lang.
as of my experience pag ako nag ddrive ok lang pero pag ako na nga ang maging pasenger madali lang ako mahilo. hehehe

hindi dahil nasanay ako. 4 kami nakasakay lahat hilo. gago pa madrive yung kaibigan ko. pero kahit na sobrang iningatan ko drive ganun pa rin. parang unstable. yung feeling na hihiwalay sa kalye. hindi matagtag eh. ok cya sa lubak.

nakasunod ako sa fm, pinapanood ko, kung pano gumalaw yung road, ganun din yung body. dahil ba 2wd yun? mas magaan or something? kasi yung gen 1 ko at yung gen 2 na parang kay otep di naman ganun.

I get the same feeling riding or driving a current model CR-V.

hindi kaya mali ang spring rate ng kotse na yun? parang yung mga Gen 2, yung iba, bagsak na yung harap, yung iba nakatayo pa din.

i have the same experience w bubbles... my brother has gen2 my inlaws has gen2.5

I figured it was because gen 2.5 has 16 inch wheels while gen2 has 15 inch

also i never saw the difference between soft, medium and hard suspension of gen2.5

in fairness, the gen2.5 has less boaty feel than gen2, though mas matalbog for me
