Aren't you glad you drive a SUV/high riding vehicle?

[tebs]

kimpoy,

bakit di manual hubs ang ipinalit mo?

[wulf]

kahit mini-SUV lang po (RAV4), i cn relate :? dats y im going 2 miss it.im selling it coz i just got a kia carnival 4 family use.cant afford 2 keep 2 cars :cry: d bale,il join u guys wen i cn afford 2 get an SUV (a mondo ute dis tym arnd :mrgreen: )

[hybrid]

I wish I have 2Low or manual hubs, so I can minimize steping on the clutch.

kaya i opt to go to the deep end of the road (right side) kasi mas walang car so I don't make a full stop, as long as it's still below my floor and enough clearance sa air filter :D

now... I wish I have enough cash for a snorkel

[pajerokid]

DO I APPRECIATE MY SUV??? HELL YEAH!!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Its a good thing meron akong 4H! It really gives good traction on a slippery wet South Super Highway!

[krudo_bagito]

The moment I've been waiting for!!!:mrgreen:

To drive my pick-up sa flood!!!

Sarap ng feeling!!!:mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:

[hybrid]

I have to check my axles and transmission oils after the flooding stops

I suggest everybody who had fun these past few days do the same, you can never be too sure

I had another round of fun today but not as fun as yesterday, sarap talaga :mrgreen:

[splerdu]

Yup, it's fun to be driving an SUV these days, but it's also equally fun blasting around wet roads with a 280hp 4wd turbo car :mrgreen:

[afrasay]

tapos na or rather 99% finish. i took it out kanina pero wala akong nadaanan na floods.

[CZintrclr]

just got my 4x4 pajero last yr. (2nd hand) wala akong kaalam alam sa gamit ng mga 4L, 4H etc. Ano ang dapat gamitin pag malalim ang baha? saka ano ba ang 4Llc center diff. lock? thanks in advance sa info.

[hybrid]

afrasay,
makakahanap ka rin ng baha, rainy season na e :D

czintrclr,
4High - for wet roads, loose soil & gravel, if your anticipating that you might loose traction while moving fast
4Low - for mud, if you want to crawl thru mud, if you want to rev high for power but want to move slow

splerdu,
I agree I'd love to drive in one, if I have chance :D

[OTEP]

2H will usually work for floods.

Mas nakakaaliw lang kapag 4L. hehehe.

[Olive Drab]

i sure am also,
4x4 pa nga ako kanina, one car got stuck (by the way sa pampanga ito, dami kasing ginagawang roads dito eh) i was about to pull him, but his rescue came, but he's blocking the way, casually shift my little shifter 4H and as they say "make your own road "

kim,
good samaritan ka talaga. saan ba nangyari? sa cabalantian?
dito rin sa amin offroad quality na ang mga daan.

4x4fan,
alam ko manual locking hubs ang hi-lux.
kailangan mong bumaba to lock your front diff.
that means you have 2L.
pag ni-lock mo, 4L nayun or 4H.

read the diffrent 4x4 systems thread its not yet complete but it will be soon. :P

[kimpOy]

kuya olive, dito sa may capitol, yung papasok sa NBI, pero natambakan na ang daan ngayon.

[Ungas]

Yes I'm glad 'coz I use DIAL!!! :mrgreen:

Hahaha!!! Kidding aside, ang saya saya!!! Walang katrapik trapik sa mga dinadaanan ko, lahat sila umiiwas sa mataas na baha, habang ako naman todo sabak. :mrgreen: Though I didn't have to use 4H or 4L, 2H lang on 1st gear sometimes not stepping on the accelerator helps.

[CZintrclr]

thanks for the info. bakit sabi ng iba di pwde gamitin ang 4L kahit sa baha? saka pag naka engage ba ang central differential lock di magiikot ang steering wheel?

[bogart]

Of course!! I'm really glad! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Last Tuesday pina-uwi kami ng maaga so punta kami sa bandang Boni to unwind.

Pagbalik ko sa Paje ko, nasa step board na yung tubig, while lubog yung Civic ng officemate ko. 8O as in, pinasok yung loob.

Tapos wala gaano dumadaan, except jeepneys, trucks & delivery vans.

Ayun, hinila ko yung civic while fording knee-deep flood.

Hay sarap ng mataas ang sasakyan! :mrgreen:

[TEAL]

First time ko rin dumaan sa baha with my XTO. Sarap ng feeling kasi yung dating di ko nadadaanan with a corolla, nadaanan ko na last tuesday. Pero as much as possible, iiwas pa rin ako sa baha kasi puro basura yung sumasabit sa ilalim & step boards ko.:P

[hybrid]

It's normal that when you shift to 4wd either hi or lo matigas ang steering, except kung nasa mud ka or any loose surface hindi mo masyado na f-feel

Yung 4L sa baha, kasi when shift to 4L you need a certain amount of slip on the road surface so as not to put strain on your 4wd components, now as too kung pwede mag 4L sa baha, iba-iba opinion ng mga tao dito, I guess its a gray area.

anybody else care to give their opinion?

CZintrclr, store mo ba yung nasa mayhaligue?

[CZintrclr]

thanks hybrid. taga mayhaligue ka ba?
