hehehehehe....oo nga at napansin ko din yung mga existing na dentist na bosb ang babait talaga, mga idol ko yun..................go mga idol ko.............it means me bago na naman ako idol........

hehehe

[janrye26]

for me, the real use of the snorkel is for those severe river crossings as to not drown the engine, added benefit na yung more cool air into the chamber plus the dagdag macho points that a snorkel brings to an already macho pickup in the form of the strada. to each his own nalang....

here's the pic of the strada with the snorkel installed. for those interested i can introduce you to the importer, a really nice guy...

pina repaint yung sa may door siding and fog lights?

[janrye26]

by the way, this what came with the snorkel kit for the strada, good for 2.5 and 3.2l stradas.

mga magkano naman kaya ito boss?

WOW! nagpalit na pala kayo ng 16" TE37(tama po ba sir?hehe) with M/T's pa! niceee! I can see that the 4x4 itch didn't compliment with your 20" before...

I liked what you've done with the foglight shroud and the side moldings! very nice color coordination....=D


BTW sir....when are you planning to test your snorkel? hehe

because the guide told me the 2nd time I was there with the group, Its this time of the year when the waters at sapang bato gets deeper than usual.... please do drop me a PM if your planning anything...^_^

here are some pics the first time I was there and second time for BigBlock...

Nice strada... about snorkels naman sir yup agree din ako 100% sa mga sinabi niyo about it... siguro nag karoon lang ng ibat ibang exchange of ideas about it pero either way performance parts naman din talaga siya. maiba lang ako sir pano yung ibang mga electronic parts kaya ng pickup pag severe river crossing? like yung ECU niya, alternator, dip stick etc.... di ba ma aapektohan yung mga yun pag na lubog? gaano din kaya ka sealed ang strada natin pag dating sa tubig?

ganyan talaga doc. ako nga accept nalang na d natin maiiwasan yan. kainis lang

Parang ganun na nga ang mangayayari doc.... hehehe

is that your new bullbars???? nicey!!!! san na yung luma mo?

[KCboy]

same question din po sir KcBOY... and where is it made po ba?

it is made in china but i assure you the quality of materials used and the craftmanship of the finishings are at par with the original australian(arb, tjm) snorkels.not those fiber glass ones that warp as you use it. pm me nalang for the costs and other details of the snorkel.

[KCboy]

sir locoroco777,

you were the inspiration for the repainting of the door moulding. i know you took of the paint, i took it one step further by having it painted the same color as the fender flares.

when i get back next week, i will be lifting the strada by 2 inch. btw, i got mickey's but those are all terrains unlike yours. im surprise you even know the model of the design for the rims. lenso copies.hehehehe.

i hope to get a bumper similar to Sir GO1 soon. budget permits.hehehehe

where is sapang bato??? i hope to get into some light offrading again. miss those days.

[KCboy]

djoverdose,

as long as the truck is running at motion, all the electricals will still be o, but once you get the stuck in standing water, that's where all the damage comes in. that's why there's a snorkel to put the air intake at a higher position because that's the most vulnerable spot of the engine where water can easily get in and drown the engine, whether it's a gas or diesel engine.

How would you plan to lift your Strada sir? I want to do the same sana.

[KCboy]

sir,

for the front,you just add some spacers to the coil springs,for the rear,just change to extended shackkles,nowifyou want, you can change the shockstoan extnded onesoyoudont maxout the stockshockatthe rear since you will be lifting it.

illtry toborrow somepics fromanother site so you can check the lift of the strada.

[locoroco777]

kay bigblock yang truck nayan bro...hehehe saka last year pa yung pics na yan....

ahhh I see sir...muka ngang makinis talaga pagka gawa base from the pics what more in person....is the supplier your referring to is the same guy from 4x4ph that supplies snorkels?

Ahh I see hehe...thats good to know sir.... actually I was also planning to paint it...but the problem is me and my dad only realize it when the mouldings was put back to place already haha!

your in for the lift nadin pala sir... BTW you might want to pass by carryboy...because I think they now offer some lifting parts...I got the brochure from the last PIMS the brand is gator tech from thailand...I think the parts are worth checking out...because on all of the lift components that I have seen...its the only brand that offers an after market ball joint and after market bump stop spacer..which I think it can somewhat preserve the riding comfort...

also, the one with the MTZ is bigblock's rig...his running on 16's, the tires on my truck is as same as yours, only 17" mukang lang MTZ because of the mags width 9" kaya lumitaw yung threads and the bulging sidewalls...hehe

your eyeing pala the same bumpers as sir g01 ganda nun!(^_^) also you might want to try asking our club fabricators manong sael and bigblock...maybe they can make a design for you...hehe at much cheaper price rather than those 4x4 shops... at my libre pang redhorse at merienda...hahaha!


sapang bato is in angeles city pampanga...check out the clubs FB site andun yung most of the pictures...I hope to meet and roll with you soon sir...

[borloloy14]

mga sir ask ko lang po kung meron na po nakatry replacing their foglamps with yellow bulbs?hoping to try either euroline, solarzen or michiba gold vission.. mahal po kasi mashado ng polarg hehe..
im also planning to by the nightbreaker for my headlights ask ko lang po sa mga nakagmit if may diffrence po b sa ichura ng headlight ng strada po.. sabi po kasi phillips xp daw po is parang walang pinag kaiba sa kulay ng lamps sa stock na bulbs , malakas lang daw po talaga yung output? suggestion po/comments? Thank you po mga sir

[locoroco777]

Im planning palang to replace the bulbs...

mas maputi ang ilaw ng NB kesa XP....sa output the same lang daw....and for the foglight bulbs....ok na yung euroline....H11 yung fogs...keep in mind. para wag magkamali bili....

HTH...

[djoverdose]

KC,

ah i see... thanks for the enlightenment.

LR777,

Heheheh ganun ba? akala ko nag palit kana.... pinalitan na rin ni sir bigblock yung bullbar niya? parang hindi kasi ganun yung nakita ko nung last eb sa S4S.

borloloy,

sir why not consider an HID for your foglight? check mo sa sulit or sa ibang local car forums... may mga nag bebenta ng HID for as low as 2,000 pesos... more light less voltage.... get the 3,000 kelving para dilaw.

[locoroco777]

LR777,

Heheheh ganun ba? akala ko nag palit kana.... pinalitan na rin ni sir bigblock yung bullbar niya? parang hindi kasi ganun yung nakita ko nung last eb sa S4S.

hehe..same parin...baka madilim lang kaya di mo nausisa masyado hehe...

[borloloy14]

*LR777 thanks sa info sir the bulbs guess mag NB's nga ako for headlights, im cautious pa sa eurolines po kasi iv search dito sa tsikot forums, may incedent pala na natunaw yung chrome reflectors niya sa fogs kasi sobra init daw "euroline" ,still not sure kung faulty din yung wiring nung car sa incedent kaya natunaw..
*djoverdose siguro w8 ko lang po ma tapos warranty bago mag switch to HID's.. kaya still for the look out padin for yellow h11 besides polarg(ang mahal kasi,parang HID's na price na hehe)

[nismo26]

pre loaded na po ba yung map ng mindanao

yes sir pre loaded na po..

baka yung 100w ang ginamit nya.... dapat pag bibili ka...yung stock wattage lang...

[djoverdose]

LR777,

hehehe siguro nga.... theres alot of things i was asking you din kasi kaya siguro di ko na napansin....

Borloloy,

bro plug and play lang mga HID ngayon... so if you know how to replace the stock bulbs, installing an HID would almost be the same.... mine still does not have any plate number pero nilipat ko na yung HID ko sa headlight.... when i went to the casa for my first 1k PMS tinangal ko nalang muna at binalik yung stock.... wala namang marker yung sa mga lights so they will not know kung ginalaw mo o hindi...

with regards sa concern mo about sa headlight na nasisira yung reflector part, typical yan pag prolong use specially kung mataas yung wattage ng bulb....

before on my sentra gts, did not have the problem na nag oxidize yung reflective cover ng head light housing pero yung lens niya grabe yung marks.... kita mo na medyo na luto sa init ng bulb plus the small cracks.... kase nung nakuha ko siya naka 100W yung bulb na naka lagay...

better go for the HID nalang bro... less heat, less wattage, but more light....
