questions about owner-type jeeps

[badkuk]

Hi All!

1. what sort of engines do you expect from one?(isuzu(?) 1.3L, 4-cylinder, etc...)

2. top speed?

3. suspension types(although pagkakaalam ko leaf springs both front and back)

thanks!

Engine options:
Diesel -- Isuzu C190, C221, C224
Gas -- Toyota 4K, 5K some have new 7K.

Don't expect it to outrun a BMW. :D Primary concern is safety with most models having wide open windows and small doors in it, best to assume that it can comply with expressway's min speed requirement.

Leaf sprung models are sold much cheaper, but front coil sprung with A-arms are also available.

How about the Toyota 2TG Engine? Or the much newer ones?

1. Halos kahit anong makina ng kotse puwedeng ikabit sa owner-type. Napaka-galing humanap ng paraan ng mga Pinoy.

2. Depende sa makina, gaan ng kaha at haba ng kalye. ;)

3. Front coil, rear leaf... (or none at all for special applications)

Curious ako. Ba't mo natanong?

Merong dragster sa Libis dati, 2TG ang gamit kaso tuned for drag yung engine, simpleng rampa ng gas station ginagalit pa makina para makasampa.

You can use virtually any engine you like, but the Toyota K series engines and their parts are easy to find. so they're cheaper to maintain.

i dunno if nakakita na kayo ng car na maliit, para siyang JEEP wrangler look, pero maliit talaga siya.. nakaregister pa nakita ko sa may bluewave naman.. maganda parang pocket bike siya kasi maliit na version...

For owner type jeeps virtually any engine will fit, FWD or RWD. I've heard there is even one with a Toyota 4AGZE (supercharged) engine under the hood.

As for top speed, there is a safety problem with owner types. They have a tendency to lift and take-off (like an airplane) when driven at very high speeds. It has happened a few times at drag racing events using airport runways.
