Salamat sa nag reply sa king quick poll regarding 8310 and 6310i (boybi, kiper18, Boy2).

Looks like 6310i na nga ang bibilin ko as per your advise, hopefully this thursday makabili na ako.

Salamas ulit!!! :wink:

bakit naman sir jon?
ilan ba expected mo? kasi malaking effect yung palit ng tires eh pero kung same tires baka bitin din ako sa suspension lift ko

konting commercial lang po
galing ng rig ko lastnight, on my way home from manila at 730pm to 8pm, i saw an adventure nag topsy turvy along malirao/sta rita sa NLEX, culprit 3 OEM tires pumutok as in sariwa pa siguro year 2000 ang adventure, so ikot ikot siya napunta sa gitna, di ba malalim yun ayun pinuntahan ko, dahil sa suspension lift ko walang takot na binabaan ko yung mga na aksidente, buti naman at wala nangyari sa kanila (one chinese dad and his 3 daugthers) after some thorough check up sa kanila at nakatawag sa kamag anak nireport ko naman sa nearest exit, so i nakyat ko naman sa sobrang lambot ng ground at tirik ayaw umakyat sa 4H so have to use my 4L, parang tulad sa sig ko!
good thing for 4L and skid plates!

Boss kimpOy:::

I was expecting a 4 inch difference. Pag tinitignan ko ngayon yung sasakyan parang walang pinag-iba sa stock height ng safari. :?

Makikita lang yung pinagbago nya when the whole suspension compress/extend. :P

As for the tires, balak ko sana magpalaki pag kasya 35 inch M/T tires yun na kakabit ko kaso wala pa bumibili ng tires ko ngayon. :mrgreen:

[kimpOy]

actually sir ungas, pag nasa parking lot i cant help to compare other strada kasi nga parang gusto ko pa itaas, di ba springs and shocks pinalit mo?
uupo pa yun di ba?
kasi ako torsion crank and extended shackles eh

PK nice sig!

[Ungas]

Yup yup, coil springs and shocks lahat pinalitan. But the claimed 2-1/2 inch lift couldn't be easily noticed pag di mo talaga tinitigan window height.

I have compared it to a stock height safari beside mine, halos di nga halata na lifted yung akin. :?

I almost forgot that I was due for my 500 km. check-up for the suspension, but the holidays got in the sched lampas tuloy ng 1000 km. na takbo ng ride ko. Padadag-dagan ko na lang siguro ito ng 20mm coil spacers when I get to retuen for its check-up. :D

[boybi]

kelangan pala ng periodic checkup ang suspension?

kelangan pala ng periodic checkup ang suspension?

Not really, but the shop where I got my suspension requires the 500km. and 5000km. check up para daw updated yung warranty card. The warranty is 2 years for coils and shocks. Pag bago pa kasi the suspensions wont really "sit-in" right, they'd have to check for minor adjustments.

Kung sa ordinary suspension kelangan din naman sinisilip yung mga bushings to check if they are fitted right after sometime driving it. Minsan may kalog na pala shocks di nararamdaman while driving. Lalo na nasasabak tong akin sa occasional offroads. :D

[OTEP]

Wow, hero of the year pala si boss kimpOy. Sana sinabi mong DieselClub.org ka. hehehe. Hanep sa plugging. :mrgreen:

[kimpOy]

medyo, shock sila nung kinausap ko eh, biro mo sabi ko
kimpoy pogi:"san po ang punta ninyo?"
shocked man: eh ah eh sa angeles (sabay turo south bound)
kimpoy pogi: ah eh dito po ang papuntang angeles (turo naman sa north bound) teka po upo muna po kayo
shocked man: buti pa nga (still he checked on his doors, nayuoi daw, di niya napansin wala na siyang windshield)

pero otep tadtad naman ng dieselclub.org ang strada ko eh, sana napansin niya o yung kasama niyang anak, tatlong teenagers!!! tamang kay otep/glenn at djerms he..he
