Urban Off-roading (katuwaan lang mga kapatid).

[OTEP]

WHEN:December 22, 2002 (Sunday)
TIME: 6:00 am
MEETING PLACE: McDO Tandang Sora (right under the Commonwealth Flyover)
PLAYGROUND: Construction site of Congressional Ave. Extension accessed via Tandang Sora

I cannot guarantee if the course is still there. I was there kanina and mukhang nandon pa naman. Pls. post if you are interested in joining para magkaroon kami ni kcboy ng rough idea of how many vehicles are joining.

Very stock friendly. Just bring lots of water and extra shirts. It would also be a good idea to cover your vehicle's carpeting with old newspapers.

Breakfast will follow after.

Here are some pics from our last run there:

[pajerokid]

Hmmmmmmmmm...... sama ako jan!

Glenn sama ka na! Pareho lang tayong bago ang gulong heheehe. Besides, tama sila! Thats only mud :D

[Ungas]

Glenn10::: Sama ka na, I want to see your Safari in-action :twisted:


Count me in :!: I've been itching to test my suspension capabilities, hehehe :twisted:

[GlennSter]

naku...dont think na im making excuses ha...pero napansin ko lang...

and na prove ko na ngayon lang...

na may sira ang 4wd system ko....

kasi pag gumamit ako ng 4l or 4h...tapos ibalik ko sa 2h...grabe....may tumutunog na super lakas sa locking system ng tires ko sa harap...i dunno what its called....any comments?suggestions?

[Ungas]

Glenn10::: You might want to back off atleast 1 meter after switching to 2H from 4H or 4L. To disengage the transfer case. Is it a hard cluncking sound? Baka po di nyo napansin naka LOCK yung switch sa front hubs?

Then next check is the differential exhaust a hose located sa taas ng bungo ng differential sa harap, baka po barado na hose pataas po ito papunta malapit sa steering and chassis. Katabi nito yung brake line hose sa taas ng bungo. I suggest you change them, lumulutong po ito katagalan and heat from the differential. :D

Try manually locking and unlocking the front hubs using your tire wrench. If all else fails, BRING THE VITARA! :D

sir ungas...actually...tama ka...the last time i went off roading with otep, kc and lc80, nakalimutan ko ung isa naka lock pala...hard clunking sound nga after several meters...

pero ngayon...ok na naman...nasa "AUTO" na siya....

ill check the hose later...

thanks...

will do all that...

excpet otep's suggestion to bring the vitara.......herherhehrherherh

Yan :!: dapat kasi madalas ka sumama sa offroading trips, hehehe. Para ma-check mo yung naiiwan sa LOCK yung front hubs. Btw, how long did you drive it while on lock mode before switching it back to AUTO?


And sir OTEP's idea is a good one too, you may also wanto to consider it your 2nd option to bring the VITARA! 3rd option na yung checking ng differential exhaust. :mrgreen:

[OTEP]

Ok lang naman i-drive sa LOCK mode iyon diba? Basta huwag lang ilagay sa 4H or 4L para hindi mag-engage ang front axle.

[kiper]

oy san yang lugar na yan? di ko lam yan ah..
taga-tandang sora ako, pero sa congre ako nakatira dati.. di ko lam na meron palang ganyan.. :cry:
pwedeng sama ako, kahit nood lang.. wala pa kasi akong 4x4 eh..:oops:

I'm afraid this would cause the front diffs to overheat and eventually add damage to other parts. But driving your hubs in lock while the other is in auto is a BIG NO NO :!:

May nagsabi sa akin if worse terrain and 4L couldn't get the job done, switching it to LOCK mode will also help acting like a differential lock. Though I'm still skeptikal about this part wherein it will act as a front diff lock. :idea:

Another opinion from other sources say that it is more advisable to lock the front hubs when offroading than in auto mode. :idea:

[kimpOy]

kiper,
maraming alam na lugar si otep na hindi natin alam, lalo na yung madilim! at may poste at yung may salamin sa ceiling!

[pajerokid]

kim::: bwahahahaha! meron palang offroading don!

[OTEP]

Ser Ungas,

Pagkakaalam ko po kasi hybrid hub ang gamit ng Safari. Yung bang same as a conventional free wheel hub pero pwedeng i-override yung tendency ng auto hub to inadvertently unlock during some off-road situations (i.e. rocking the vehicle back and forth to free it) by manually locking it. Ganito din kasi ang hub ng LC 70 series ngayon, eh.

So in theory, pwede siyang i-lock gaya ng manual hub. Yung sa GEN I kasi namin dati, mahigit limang taon nang naka-lock ang hub, eh. Para handa for anything. Hindi ba yung base model ng Pajero laging engaged ang front axle (walang hub).
