I wanna offroad!

[alex]

But I know zilch. Help me naman o, guys. :wink:
My car's all stock. Glenn's gonna help me with the sounds but that's half the fun. I saw pictures of you guys and mukhang masaya maglaro sa putik. Hoho. Gimme tips and stuff ha.

PS. ok lang bang maki saling pusa sa mga offroad trips niyo even if my car's not yet set-up? i'll bring browniesand yummy cookies.

alex,

All stock is no problem. Halos lahat naman kami all stock dito or minimal mods lang. You don't really have to know much. Experience will usually teach you that. You just have to know what that little shift lever is for.

Sa summer vacation, off-roading ang number 1 sa listahan ko of things to do. Tamang-tama, malamang madami ding newbies na sasama nun.

The first time I drove in Porac kabado pa for the first two hours. Puro, "kaya ba ng sasakyan ko iyan?" ang laging nasa isip at lagi kong itinatanong. Sa sobrang kaba ko, na-stuck ako sa ilog. hehehe. After that, I just powered through almost all the obstacles. Wohoo! Wala palang lugar ang nerbyos sa off-roading. Common sense, yes. Paranoia, no.

Some words of wisdom:
*Keep your foot off the clutch (no matter how it feels like the engine will stall any second now).

And my favorite:
*FOUR LOW! GO! GO! GO! (ayos, lahat ng obstacles nalusutan).alex,

alex,
maraming off-roaders ang naka-STOCK.

[kimpOy]

lifted from i posted last year october ilang mga tips lang naman



OFF ROAD DRIVING TIPS
-THUMBS UP-always keep your thumbs up and away from the steering wheel, its possible that your thumbs may be injured if the front wheelshit an obstacle, causing the wheel to spin violently in your hands.

-AS SLOW AS PRACTICAL AS FAST AS NEEDED- Take it easy and dont rush things. Its far easier to read the ground ahead if youre proceeding slowly. The exception is when a degree of momentum is required to carry the vehicle through, or up, some traction, or power sapping obstacle.

UNDERSTAND YOUR VEHICLE- knowing your vehicles lowest point of clearance is usually the diff case- will help

CROSSING SOFT GROUNDS-try to pick the best in line through. Use the highest gear in the low range, if wheel slip, blip the throttle, turning the front wheels from side to side to help find traction

DRIVING ROUGH GROUND-keep speed to a mininum Be aware of the vehicle clearnce and watch out for ruts stumps and rocks.if necessary, drive wheels over obstacle to raise the vehicle over them.

WATER FORDING-it is essential to check the depth of the water to be crossed. Ensure your exists is clear and easy to drive.Use low-range (first if practical, second if bed is soft), enter the water slowly, maintain speed steadily to build up bow wave, Once across remember braking efficency will be impaired until brakes dry out.

When Driving off road, remember to always show consideration- for fellow travelers, whatever their means of transport, for local people, landowners and countryside in general.
Treat everything you come across with utmost respect and think about everything you do, Most of all remember :if in doubt, DONT

Alex,

initially, nakakatakot coz you'd think warat-warat yung SUV or Pick up mo after a Level1. but you'll be sruprised at what your ride can accomplish! Even in stock config. You'll prolly end up appreciating your ride over sedans :D

[OTEP]

I think alex is the lady who drives a Trooper. Tama ba?

[GlennSter]

naku...isa nanamang LADY OFF ROADER ITO!!!!!!!!!!

[alex]

Yep! I'm the trooper girl. And it's matic. K lang ba yun? Kelan next lakad niyo? Sama ako ha?

PS. Why can't I see the picture sa signature ko?

[Boy2]

ma'am alex::: dont put spaces between the [img] and the link...

[Olive Drab]

alex,
usually wala sa sasakyan ang problem.
nasa DRIVER/OWNER.
but as long as you have the WILL,
you can conquer the off-roads.

[KCboy]

glenn,
bought stuff na sa twin pines kahapon, gna get sum again tonite sa rob gal, kahapon makati,

alex,
can't wait to mit a lady offroader talaga. k lang matic, just switch to a ower gear like 1 or 2 or L pag offroading na so u get more torque. excited me makakita ng trooper na magoffroad..

[Ungas]

alex::: Pix from pbase wont load on your sig. Try loading those pix from another server like www.ranchoweb.com or www.montypics.com

Hmmm... bagong offroader! :mrgreen: Kelangan binyagan agad ito either sa Porac trails or Jungle Base trails! :twisted:

[KCboy]

ungas,
buti buhay ka pa at nothing serious happened 2 ur safari?? or maybe meron kaya ka daw natulala??????

[Ungas]

Nothing serious was damaged. :twisted: Tulala lang ako sa pagod. Tsaka may pinapagawa ako kanina sa labas. Ngayon lang nakapag online.

[sHoCkAbSoRbEr]

ah, eh a 4x4 :lol:

[boyscout]

ako rin pwede ba rav4 diyan.

[Ungas]

sHoCkAbSoRbEr::: What is your ride? You could join us have fun on offroading by having the right equipment and tools. :D


boyscout::: I'm afraid that RAV4's and CRV's can't join in the fun. Maybe a light trail like in Laguna or at the urban challenge would be good enough for those kind of rides.


Part time or full time 4WD is a must. Note: The all wheel drive is a different type of vehicle.
