    I do it. just make sure ok pagka convert or keep an eye on all steering components before and after the trail. ronald mercado of 199 off road house does correct conversions for 10 thou. he reconstructs it to LHD manufacturers spec. thats the only proper way of doing it.

    If you know how automobiles work, they're fine. Pero if you just want something because you need transportation and don't know much about vehicles then maybe you need to reconsider.

    They make good project cars, btw.

    Mahirap lang habulin sa conversion ay yung details like the dashboard, the climate control (with correct ducting), control panels, etc.

    May plano kaming bumili ng SUV pero hindi naman ganun kalaki ang budget...

    Tempting kasi yung price ng converted SUVs kaya pinagiisipan naming mabuti kung ok ba ang mga ito. Sa mga may units, konting feedback naman sa performance ng Pajero 3 door o kaya yung Trooper 3 door.

    Kindly include narin yung estimate na gagastusin lalo na kung ipapaayos pa yung conversion.

    :: Naitanong ko kung ok itong pang-offroad dahil gusto kong masubukan. Hehe. ::

    Madaming converted sa off-roading. Siyempre karamihan sa kanila alam ang ginagawa nila (like Bubbles). Madami ding DIY-peeps sa trails.

    Personally mas gusto ko ang Pajero 3-door lalo na yung J-top (softop). Parang alamangan kasi ang porma ng Trooper 3-door dahil nag-cost cutting sila and pinilit nila gamitin ang third row windows ng 5-door Trooper. Kaya medyo asiwa ang porma. Unlike sa mga 3-door na Prado at Pajero wherein ibang glass panel ang gamit.

    Saka hindi ba medyo may kamahalan ang piyesa ng Isuzu?

    dapat pwede sariling convert na lang eh.
    jackpot yung pinsan ko. nakakuha siya ng LC90 na sariwa. tapos sya na nagconvert. hindi ko alam kung pano niya nilabas dati sa subic? orig dashboard pa lang, inabot na ng 50K. galing toyota alabang. 3months bago dumating.
    ganun din lahat ng steering and pang-ilalim.
    hehehe.

    hindi ng ibang sasakyan. dapat para sa parehong sasakyan. pinapalitan ng iba kasi mas mura.

    bakit pinapalitan? kasi may left at may right ang gearbox. ang pang lhd hindi pwede pang rhd. dito sa pinas, mahal ang lhd box. mga 10,000 and rhd box mabibili ng 2,500.

    nagpunta ko sa malinta.......... nag inspection kami gaganda. may leak nga lang sunroof baha sa loob tapos yung convertion matatawa ka. anluluwag ng turnilyo ng gear box hehehhehhe talagang mamatay ka oo.

    pajero gen2 5door nakukuha daw 380 maic lahat

    tooper bighorn 5door nakukuha din 380 pero nakukuha pa da ng mas mababa trooper pajero kasi dami bumibili. delica na 4x4 kaya daw 170 depende talaga sa bid.

    ang nakaktuwa eh yung pison nung biding na 200k daw eh walang nag bibid binaba 150 wala pa rin 100k wala pa rin 50k halos ayaw pa bandang huli may nag bid din.

    ang maganda sa bidding eh no minimum price. ang isa pang nakaktuwa dun eh yung front cab ng L300 30k daw nakuha 5.5k hehehe pinto at upuan na lang bawi ka na.

    Hehe, sa lapit namin hindi pa ako nakapunta dun. Naisip ko rin kasi dati na kapag biding, may minimum price tapos pataasan na kayo ng ibang buyers kaya hindi ako nagka-interest kahit sumilip man lang... Wala pala.

    converted SUVs are ok for offroading as long as everything is check thoroughly, and you know what your doing.
    The 1st thing we do is check the steering components, since yun ang delikado, kasi kung iba ang nasira titirik ka lang, but if your steering goes then......you've gota problem.

    If you buy 1 from an auction, be sure to alot enough funds for repairs and for the registration w/c they charge you over the auction price.

    Usually pag auction, di na kailangan bumili ng steering column etc. kasi converted na. dun sa 10k, proper conversion ang gagawin. in other words, gagawing tama at maayos at safe yung katarantaduhang conversion na ginawa ng auctioneer.

    Bibili ka ng steering column kung ayaw mong nasa kaliwa ang wiper stalk at nasa kanan ang light stalk. Ganun kasi sa JDM. Baligtad. hehehe.

    Dun ba sa 10k, you are only talking about the steering column and dashboard, tama po ba?

    Once tested a converted Pajero 3door 2g but I did not come to like it for these reasons...
    1. I'm worried about the quality of work (but then again reading your posts e baka 10k is good enough insurance to go for the experts)

    2. The side mirrors cannot be oriented to LHD, is this easy to remedy? like just replace them?

    3. It's manual and the stick is kinda far since dati pang RHD, is there any remedy for this? Is it practical na i-suite ito sa LHD in the first place?

    Sana kayong mga sanay jan sumagot naman.

    Cheers to you all!

    pwede namang manood lang e malay mo mapabili ka. pero kailangna may 100k na bond ka para maka bid.
