was also thinkin of a vitara.. its gas thou

meron pa ba ko madadagdag sa list? btw 300-350 lang siguro budget ko..

[ian_rex]

sir it really depends on your needs. i'd say get a locally manufactured pajero '96 or later para di ka masyadong magkaproblema. or trooper. as much as possible iwas tayo sa converted. (in my opinion lang po, no offense)

or sa pickup naman, isuzu is still the best or strada. it has a powerful engine, as compared to hi lux.

kung afford mo naman ang bnew, get a dmax! :D

[jaym]

hmm.. di kaya ng budget brandnew.. tsaka gusto ko mejo maliit lang na suv.. iwas talaga ako converted pero im considering the isuzu mu of tebs kasi madaming taga tsikot.com nagsabi na ok.. anyway.. maski early to mid 90's na model ng suv's para mejo mura..

Kung kaya 95 local Pajero IC 4X4 or
94 PATROL safari 4X4 sub 450K, consider din
98 TERRANO 2.7 shorter than SEDAN for sub 400K, maganda rin RAV4 3dr gas ngalang>>

toyota hi-lux

[Ungas]

Di naman po SUV yung local Toyota Hi--lux natin. :D

[luckytruck]

i would go for a gen 1 pajero na makinis, tapos lagyan ng intercooler and then crank up the boost using the washer method. sulit na yan. mura lang naman ang surplus na intercooler

i think 4x2 na hilux na lang kukunin ko.. para mas bagong model and diesel makukuha ko.. may nagsabi 98-99 model na hilux kasha sa budget ko.. di ko nga lang alam kung pano pag kakasha 2 subs dun..

[luckytruck]

jaym, its your money, so you should do what you think is best, but let me just give you my personal opinion (again)

i was in the same dilemma a few months ago. i was choosing between a brand new 4x2 hilux (with bank financing pa talaga) and a gen 2 pajero (cash pa gyud kasi over 5 years old na).

i got the gen 2 pajero for a number of reasons, mas malakas ang dating (pogi points), more seating (may pickup na kasi dad ko, so pwede mahiram if i needed the bed), turbo na sya, more potential for aftermarket parts like a lift and 33" mud tires, more room for sounds, and of course it is 4 wheel drive (probinsya kasi ako, so 4x4 is a plus factor)

that is just my opinion though, happy diesel hunting

andy, dont really have money for brand new.. i have abt 450-500.. planning to spend 350 on the vehicle lang tapos ung iba sa rims, tires, sound system and iba pa.. kaya 2nd hand hilux lang siguro kaya.. and kaya ko din gusto diesel nun kasi matipid.. i heard bigger suvs like the pajeros consume hecka lot of gas.. doesnt matter if 4x4 or 4x2.. madalas city driving lang naman ako..

[vinj]

At 350-400K, you can probably find a '99 Nissan Frontier 4x2 later this year at that price but the condition is a question mark.

At that price, i'd go for either that or a old Pajero (diesel fo course)

[luckytruck]

from my experience and the input of others, gen 2 pajeros usually consume 7 to 8 kms per liter of diesel city driving and 8 to 10 kms per liter of diesel highway driving, depending on driving habits.

500K + 350K = 850K... Pasok naman pala sa buget mo yung 780K na Hilux 4x4, with Simex tires, TJM bumpers with winch, XGS shocks and 4" lift by TJM suspension parts. :D

[niwde11]

pres; ang budget nya ho yata is 500. 350 lang balak nya gastusin sa suv then the rest of the amount sa tires, rims, sounds, etc. Correct me i'm wrong.

[wheelieboi]

kuha ka nalang ng ln106 Hilux 4x4 tapos wheel/tire package and decent sound system muna... unti untiin mo yung mods mo para di masakit sa bulsa. i think swak pa rin yan sa budget mo sir. Plus u get a reliable 4x4 na pwede mong pangsabak offroad talaga hehehe

or get a 2nd hand 4x2 frontier nalang.

2 cents lang po

[jaym]

yup.. around 450-500 lang budget.. ano ba pnaka ok na pick-up for 350k? maski 4x2

[luckytruck]

first generation strada na lang pare

tapos you can put a surplus intercooler and do the washer mod, good to go ka na. plus with the extra cash, you can lift it and put a nice tire and wheel package on it. mura pa ang maintennance
