Odell,

At P1M, marami ka ng options. But you have to decide, not all 4x4 will give you speed. The next best thing I have seen in a fast 4x4 is probably a Patrol (the first in speed and 4x4 capability are the 4x4 of Ford - Explorer, Expedition, F150, Sportrac).

But you're budget will fit only a Safari Patrol plus cost of modifications....all other brands (like LC80, LC70 and new Patrol) will have a cost higher than P1M.

Things to look for if you want speed and 4x4 capability would be:

1) Big engine (like the 6 cylinder diesel of Safari and LC80)
2) Differential lock (preferably front and rear - stock Safari and LC80 have the rear na yata)
3) If opting for big wheels like a "35 or "37 diameter, the ring and pinion gears should be matched too para hindi hirap and the speed will also not be compromised.
4) Rear and front winches - and a powerful batery to match it (Optimas??) if electric or a powerful power steering pump if hydrolic.
5) Snorkels and water-sealed tranny, differential and gas tank.
6) Pogi-points bumpers - like the ARB, TJM, JAOS

Kung wala kang intention to sell it again in the future, why don't you consider Jappy's Hammer (Hummer look-alike). Kahit sa hotel or any formal gathering mo dalhin, napakadecente pa rin (with or without the putik :lol: ).

my 2 cents

odel, nice to have you on board, try our sport first, sama ka sa off roading, makisakay ka muna kung wala kang 4x4 then you decide what's best for you, nung first time ko i have already a 4x4 pickup, (kasi sa business ko kailangan ko ang pick-up), pero kung ako ang pagpipilian ngayon i will buy a LC70, or a landrover defender

sama ka pag may trail, high peak, daraitan, lahar course,
iba iba kasing set up din yan eh

pero with your 1M budget...no contest LC80

[kiper]

odell,

sama ka samin minsan mag-oofroading sa tandang sora..malapit kina otep.

i'm using a ford escape 4wd..okay naman siya mababa, nga lang ang ground clearnce.

kelan mo ba gusto? otep weekends ulit?

[Djerms]

For me Vitara ang pinaka-okey ipang offroad.

Regarding sa speed...Look for Wiretap's thread nung kinarera niya ang civic..:mrgreen:

and another offroad bug victim...
welcome aboard, odell!!!

i have read almost everithn in ds forum section.. i came to lyk the inputs on having a 4x4..
jus wanna know y u picked 4x4.. suv.. than sedan cars..
i know pipol has their own prospect.. just wana know each one of urs.. hehe

curious kid i am... hehehe

why a 4x4 than a sedan? nasanay ako sa mataas ang view. from my 1st vehicle (daihatsu hi-jet) upto my next vehicles (tamaraw fx & now Gen1 Pajero). Yung company service vehicle namin na madalas ko i-drive is a ford ranger & a toyota hi-lux both are 4x4 din.

di kasi ako sanay mag-drive ng kotse kaya yun ang pinili ko.

as for off-roading, di ko pa nasubukan yung Gen1 ko, pero yung hi-lux & ranger madalas namin mai-panhik ng bundok. kung pick-up 1st choice ko yung hi-lux next yung ranger.
kung suv, dream ko yung new patrol then trooper.
kung mini-suv, vitara, escape, then rav4, then crv.

HTH!
