hi! can you guys tell me more about this jeep? ok ba? matibay? reliability? parts? kalawangin ba? malakas sa diesel etc? thanks!

reliability? very reliable. nde pa ako tinirik nito, execpt for a leaking clutch master before, which was easily replaced.

parts. engine and transmission are very easy to find. The engine of the Rocsta is a R2 2.2 Diesel engine, which is the same engine being used by the 1980s Mazda B2200 Pickup and the 2.2 Kia Besta. So engine parts are very easy to find.
It also uses Kia/Mazda parts for brakes, clutch, and transmission. so either u can have a same parts with kia or mazda oem numbers.

Kalawangin? theres rust here and there. but nothing major

the only thing i have to order sa aboard is the balljoints. can seem to find, havent really scouted pa similar looking balljoint sa mga truch and auto supply

hay salamat...akala ko mawawala na lang itong thread hehehe...


anyways...
how about ride comfort naman? where did you buy your rocksta? im considering buying one kasi...or yun korando na wrangler look alike

[Mojo]

korando looks very old, and engine parts are much harder to find, both for the petrol and diesel versions of it.


Ride? trucks will behave like a truck, but you can put softer shocks if you want to lessen the stiff suspension. In shorts, maalog at matagtag ang rocsta, pwede i replace and shocks with softer ones, pag gusto mo medyo comfortable.

Got mine from a friend.

thanks. parang feroza din pala ito


can you pls post pics of your rocksta? anong year model sya? i am also aware na madami palang modelo yan mukhang mapapabili ako ng rocksta ah

[Mojo]

feroza looks nice, pero i have already made up my mind that its indeed a paruza.


my friend who sold me the has a feroza, hehehe lagi sira, something is wrong like di naaubsan ng problema.

two models and rocsta

Rocsta 1 or the 1990 which is a cj-5 wrangler clone. same engine but has a p etrol version watch out ka sa petrol version kasi wala ka parts nito, get the 2.2 R2 version.
may soft top and hard top


Rocsta 2 or R2, the 1996 version, newer look, nde na square fendered, same engine. The front suspension different from the R1 especially sa tie rod and balljoint.


If I were get the Rocsta 2 or R2, or better look at both the pics ng Rocsta 1 and Rocsta 2 and compare then decide.
