Changed my front shocks today. Replaced them with the Amada Extreme shocks from sir Dadz. Hirap magcompress ng coils hehe. Took me the whole day to complete replacing the two front shocks. Will test the ride tomorrow and have it carwashed.

Sir G01, how was your experiment? What was the reason why you swapped shocks in front?
Bilis napudpud ng MTZ mo ah? Naka-ilang kms yan?
I noticed in the Pulag photos na mukhang new tires na gamit mo.
Galing talaga, DIY to the max.

Doc Boz, I swapped shocks because the left front Rancho shock leaked while driving to Aparri during the Holy Week. Jeff ORH said maybe he can claim a warranty for it.

The Amada Extreme shocks seemed less stiff now with the additional weight of the steel bumper but the Rancho shocks are still better in absorbing bumps.

1 year old yung MTZ tires hehe. Most of the time kasi I drove high speed on pavement specially doon sa winding Halsema Highway where I drove almost once every week kaya madaling napudpud. Pinalitan ko ng new Nitto Trail Grappler tires from Jeff ORH. Ito yung bagong product ng Nitto. Very silent compared sa Mickey Thompson MTZ. Nawala yung humming sound na parang sirang gear or sirang bearing after changing tires. More expensive but I was assured that the Trail Grappler tires will last longer than the MTZs.

re: Tires
kung A/T tires, what brand, model, size ang pwede ilagay sa Stock mags ng 4x2 strada? Im planning on upgrading the stock tires sometime this year as for the mags im sticking with the size 16", but later on will upgrade from stock 6" to a 7 or 8" wide offset of mags.

Walang pong problem yung 285 sa 9" width rim. Rim ko is 8" ang width.

I am not really a tire expert pero I notice na marami sa BOSBs ang naka Mickey Thompson ATZ. Si sir Ramz na member dito sa Baguio installed Nitto Terra Grapplers sa 4x2 niya.

Stick to 16" rim if you wanted to save on the cost of tires like I did hehe. Mas mahal ang tires for 17" rims.

BTW, here are websites that will help you choose the right size of tires and rims:

sir, question, di ba hirap ang 4x2 pag ganung kalaki ang tires? marami kasing nagpalit ng montero tires ang nagrereklamo na medyo bumaba ang fuel efficiency nila at saka mas hirap ng kaunti ang makina sa segunda. 265 lang yun.

In my case meron talaga effect sa FC dahil sa greater rolling resistance and the larger diameter ng tires. 285/70/16 and 265/75/16 have the same diameter of 31.7" pero wider lang ng 3/4" yung 285. FC ko dati is between 8 to 12 km/l. Ngayon nasa 6 to 10 km/l na lang. 3.2 yung Strada ko. Doc Glenn's 4x4 Strada is 2.5 but size ng tires niya is 285/75/16 which is almost 33" diameter. Mine and his are lifted to accomodate the larger tires. Before na-lift yung Strada ko tires were 265/70/16 A/T which is 30.6" diameter pasok naman sa wheel wells. Diameter ng stock tire is 29.5".

Sir GO1 ano po mas maingay ang Trail or Terra Grappler?

[ThePatriarch]

Sir GO1 ano po mas maingay ang Trail or Terra Grappler?

by the looks alone, i would conclude na mas maingay ang trail grappler

[pransis]

bro, yung sayo, kamusta yung gulong mo? diba naka mickey thompson atz ka din? kamusta yung handling, fuel consumption saka thread life?

nakachinelas pa din strada ko e. sa ngayon masaya ako sa fuel consumption. based dun sa sinabi ni sir G01, nadiscourage ako magpalit ng higanteng gulong..

[bj05]

mga sir, ok puba ang plate holder na rali art sa strada?, sinu meron sa inyo?

[G01]

Sir banebtoy, like what Pres TP said, the looks alone would show that mas maingay yung Trail Grapplers. But comparing the Trail Grappler with other MT tires, I've read reviews sa mga magazines na pinakasilent daw itong new Trail Grapplers. Na-try ko kahapon when I drove from Baguio to Manila, silent talaga yung tires. Now in Manila BTW.

Ang purpose ng bigger tire sa 4x4 aside from giving the vehicle a more macho stance is to increase the ground clearance. Lifting increases the clearance between the wheel wells and the tires so bigger tires can be fitted and it also increases the approach and departure angles, but lifting does not increase the clearance between the ground and the differential housing which only bigger tires can provide. Bigger tires will of course affect the fuel consumption and the power of the engine.
