Doc otep, kasama ba steering damper doon sa kit na tinanong natin?

I replaced my front speakers and had rear speakers installed. Pareho silang 4" front and rear. Pwede pagpilitin 5" sa rear pero magbubutas ng new screw hole.

Pangit pa rin tunog. At bumabasag and umuugong if you turn up volume. Dapat talaga bigger speakers and better HU.

Doc Otep had installed a sub woofer under the driver's seat. Ewan ko if that will suffice without changing to speakers bigger than 4" for front and rear.

How does one adjust the belt tensioner? was able to change my alternator belt but can't seem to fit the aircon belt. cut the old aircon/power steering belt and now ready to install a new one but with the limited space can hardly even see how to adjust the tensioner... i guess i have to remove the radiator to fit in the new belt.. my 2005 model is the old one with the manual 4wd shifter.... thanks in advance for any help....

Got my Jimny 3 months ago. Nagyon lang ako nakapag post. I'm very thankful sa thread na ito. Lahat halos ng itatanong ko about the car, dito ko lang nalaman. Mine is a 2013 A/T, I'm a bit surprised that my fuel consumption is not that bad, it somehow suits to my kind of driving habit or style. I get 12 to 13 Km/L, mixed driving (80% highway + 20% city), with stock tires. As suggested from this forum, I changed first and foremost the horn (bosch - they called it pit-pit sa banawe) kc an hina nga talaga, then the front speakers with a sony explode 3 way speakers (gt1038) (4 inches), yung rear speakers (later na lang). I bought YATOUR (Ipod Car Adapter) to connect to Ce-NET Clarion plug (eBay), however I haven't installed it yet kc wala pa ako time. Hehehe. Changed the wiper blades with NWB, for summertime ko na lang yung stock the wiper blades.The best thing about this car is that madali isingit, ipark, isampa sa center island, na di ko magawa sa iba kong sasakyan. Hehehe. Kahit na matagtag ito compared sa KIA Sportage ko but with JImny's advantages, kaya ko magcompromise. I'm not really into a 4x4 adventure. I simply wanted to use it to commute with ease na makauwi sa bahay kahit na may konting baha na di kaya ng ibang sasakyan daanan. Six months ago, when I was planning to buy another car, I was hesitant to buy this thing because of its fuel consumption which ranges from 5 to 13 km/L according to other owners I read on this thread. But when I compared the pros and cons with my needs, I decided to go for this. Fortunately, I got the consumption I set for this vehicle. So far I'm very very happy with this SUV. Hahaha. I have one question, How do I secure my spare tire COVER at the back? Its has no lock, nor cable lock, Its simply a cover with a zipper that you can easily take off. Baka nakawin kc, ngeek!! Buti sa Japan hindi ninanakaw mga ganito, sa pinas, alam mo na. TIA.

My jimny's stock HU does not play AM stations anymore. What could be the problem? TIA! BtW, I installed AVT underseat subwoofer and somehow the result is bearable even with the stock soeakers.

Congrats sir! The spare tire cover is really difficult to secure. My 2008 model is covered by a plate and locked by an ordinary nut that can be removed easily using an ordinary wrench. Avoid parking in an unlit or unsafe area.
