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

[pajerokid]

CZintrclr, use 4H without locking the center diff when using super select onroad. Locking the center diff will definitely produce the binding effect.

[otomatic]

ako 2H lang palagi sa baha. pero naka lock na yung manual hubs ko just incase may lubak na malalim.






:D :D

[hybrid]

thanks hybrid. taga mayhaligue ka ba?

Office namin sa masangkay :D

[CZintrclr]

thanks PK, hirap talaga ng walang alam sa 4x4.

Hybrid, kapitbahay lang pala tayo eh. baka nakikita ko na pajero mo, ano color and plate? yung latest model ba?

[pajerokid]

CZintrclr, it ok sir! We all went through that :wink:

[hybrid]

CZintrclr,
Hindi pajero ride ko, Hilux surf green (light), pumaparada din ako dun sa tapat

2H in floodwaters while on 1st gear would be ideal if your path is clear at wala masyadong stop go. When you're in floodwaters, you'd like to minimize stepping on the clutch as much as possible so that water doesn't enter your trasmission.

Ako, I prefer to use 4L if I'm anticipating stop and go. Mataas ang threshold ng engine if you're in 4L so that kahit mag break ka pa or even if you're creeping nalang, the engine won't die on you even if you don't depress the clutch pedal. Heck, you could even start the car while on 4L and 1st gear. An added advantage also would be na mataas ang rpm mo while on 4L thus minimizing the chances of water entering your exhaust.

basta pag car ko gamit ko.. lowered kasi.. hirap...

pero ramdam ko advantage pag kay uncle na pajero gamit ko.. :mrgreen:

[CZintrclr]

hybrid, may asawa ka na ba? ang nakikita ko kasi dito sa tapat naka park pero bihira lang, kasama misis and sometimes space gear na converted din ang dala.

[hybrid]

wife and kids but I don't have a spacegear,
nakikita ko rin yun, and nakikita ko rin yung delica na lifted

Sali ka sa offroad escapades, you'll learn a lot from it

[boybi]

sulit na sulit talaga SUV lalo na ngayon sa NLT. dire-diretso lang ako sa mga lubak or shoulder. definitely shortened my travel time to and from manila :D

[crawdaddy]

teka ah, medyo late na na reply...

anyway,
ewan ko kung sino na nakasubok sa inyo sa mga rides niyo (sa mga may 4x4) pero nakakagapang ang Vitara ko even in 2H 1st gear. nagulat din ako eh, sa traffic sa EDSA sinubukan ko kung kelan mahihirapan ang makina pero nakakagapang... kaya nga niya na 1st gear gumagapang tas yung RPM between 6000 & 8000 (parang idling diba?)...

wala lang, share ko lang... hehehehe! kasi sa corolla ko dati di kaya yun sigurado!

so sa mga flood water crossings, hindi na siguro kelangan magshift to 4L or 4H... make sure lang na kung lulusob ka na hindi ka kelangang tumigil habang nakalubog... make sure clear ang path mo palabas ng baha, parang regular river crossing diba?

[boybi]

kaya nga niya na 1st gear gumagapang tas yung RPM between 6000 & 8000 (parang idling diba?)...

he he, taas ata ng idling mo :twisted: baka 600 & 800 rpm :twisted:

[hybrid]

magulat din ako e 6000 - 8000 parang vtec yun a :mrgreen:

[crawdaddy]

hahaha honga no?! sorry... 600 - 800 lang pala... nabulol mga daliri ko eh...

[wiretap_md]

crawdaddy: I observed that too. So, bilib ka na sa ride natin? Hehehe... Btw, OEM stock idle is 850 rpm. When you switch on the aircon, it should go to 1k rpm, and when you switch it off, back to 850 rpm. Yun ang sabi ng Suzuki Service Manual ko. Baka gusto mo pa xerox, let me know. I borrowed it from my friend in bacolod kasi.

[crawdaddy]

wiretap_md,
are you kidding?! if that's the same as the Workshop Manual, sobrang tagal nako naghahanap ng ganyan!!! and I think Workshop Manual and Service Manual parehas lang yan!

sige, pa-photocopy ako!

anyway, sakin naman kung naka-on ang aircon nasa 900 yung rpm.

oo no, tagal nako bilib dito sa ride natin! sa Maarat palang with Delta Recon eh, gulat ako nakayanan ng Vitara ang course na pinadaan samin. out of 10 vehicles, 5 ang Vitara! hehehehe! PANIS! haha yabang ba?

anyway ulit, kelan ko pwede pa-photocopy?

[isketi]

Hi diesel peeps! I plan to get a high-riding vehicle and I'm choosing between a Fuego and a Trooper. I need your expert opinion on which is better to use to ford floods, the pickup or the SUV? Thanks! )

[Ungas]

isketi::: Depends all on the usage of your vehicle. Do you use it for work? Does it load heavy stuffs? You are comparing both vehicles from different sectors. Without a doubt the SUV will stand taller than the pickup.

[wiretap_md]

crawdaddy: Pakita ko sayo on Saturday sa EB. Then you decide if you want to have it photocopied.
