Nice and cute little 4WDs.

**wildthing** · August 17th, 2003 06:21 AM

yes peeps... its comes 3 for 100

BUT....this is usually offered only by the direct importers....i'll try to see if I could get to talk to the friend of my boss in Cebu and see if they still offer the deal.

These are usually 60-70k (yung higher range ang 4x4 series) na in Cebu - running condition pa lang.

Kung painted and maporma-look-na add at least 20k (actual trading range is 90-115k depending on the set-up)....these 90-115k (or more) is usually the price outside Cebu (naipatong na ang freight charges).

As for the parts, it is very available down south BUT

not as very available dito sa manila....we can always get from Cebu anyway.

Rumors has it that these mini 4x2 and 4x4 trucks (not just suzuki produce this, pati daihatsu and mitsubishi) are actually the production test of new equipments of vechicles (particularly trucks).....matipid daw kasi ang mga hapon so they do a down scale of the new equipment which they want and put it in this for actual use...pag ok na at nacorrect na ang dapat gawin they'll apply all they learned and make the bigger models for their trucks, pick-up etc. So all of these features are really very great stuff except that they are small versions.

Opinion ko on the weight distribution problem (rear tire spins and stuff like that kasi magaang).... if I have one, I'll put in it a new body (like a mini AMC Hammer --- Jappy pag ready na ko papagawa ako sa inyo ha?!)....so mapapalipat ngayon ang puwesto ng mga pasengers sa tamang lugar so makokorek ang problem. Tapos okay pa ang porma.....Mini Hammer

my 2 cents.

may na kausap na ako na may alam na source, around 30k daw yung basic na pickup, napausapan na nga namin ni misis, medyo namumuro.... maganda siguro yung van, yung mukhang loaf bread

**kimpOy** · August 18th, 2003 10:03 AM

interesting nga, ok yan for errand lalo na dito sa amin maliit lang ang san fernando!, hmmmm nakakapagpahinga na strada ko niyan!

**marwen** · August 18th, 2003 12:08 PM

ha.ha.. nagkalat nga yan dito (multicab is the common term). and if you think mahirap ang parts hmmmm hindi po.. nakatambak lang po yan sa mga surplus shop...

otep and guys,

if you visit cebu.. pwede ko kayo samahan mamili..... yun lang talaga ang maitutulong ko kasi hindi ako familiar sa mga terms and parts(blah blah blah) kaya samahan ko na lang kayo..

**kimpOy** · August 18th, 2003 12:29 PM

wala bang pics yan?

**rodcarolino** · August 18th, 2003 12:30 PM

ang sabi sa akin yung daw 30k yung mga baklas, bahala ka magbuo, sabi ko okay yun dahil mapipili ko yung pyesa, kaya lang talagang yung "loaf bread" (van) ang gusto ni misis...

**wildthing** · August 19th, 2003 08:44 AM

Okay naman yung van mas pang "family-car" and dating...lalo na kung pang short distance or within city driving lang naman.

**kimpOy** · August 19th, 2003 08:52 AM

tamang tama punta ng cebu dad ko papasilip ko sa kanya,
kung makakita siya.

UPDATE:

The suzuki carry pick-up comes in 2 engine models: 550 and 660.
The also connotates the displacement.
The 550 is 6valve (3 cylinders both) and the 660 is 12valve.
Typical mileage: 550 na 4x2 is about 10km/L and 660 is about 7-8km/L kung heavy foot ka as low as 6km/L lang.

Both have 4x2 and 4x4 types.
Both have 4 speed manual and 5 speed manual.
Both have LSD and Rear diff lock versions (pneumatic switch engage)
Both have auto hub lock and manual hub lock.
Maximum suggested tire 13 inch rim lang. Beyond that major modification is needed na to adapt the wheels plus possible na magkaproblem sa turning ang bigger wheels (14" and up). Unknown din if the differential can take the load of a bigger wheels. (They are originally on 10" rim wheels in Japan.)
It is converted RHD and no power steering.

Opinion ng importer the 4x4 would be better off with 4-speed kasi meron 4Lo gearing. Mas okay din daw ang 550 when it comes to parts availability and cost cheaper (ex. spark plugs are the same as toyota 3K or 4K engines, hard to find an plugs ng 660). Get the manual hub lock and rear diff lock na pneumatic (LSD are hard to find din)

Cost ng 4x2 is about P75K (bare and running condition) ex-cebu. P5K and shipping cost pier-to-pier. Reconditioned (painted well and running condition) add P10K. Cost ng 4x4 add another P10K

Unfortunately, the cab is a monocoque design kaya hindi pede alisin ang cab (ng hindi major ang modifications) ng basta basta.

**wildthing** · August 24th, 2003 09:33 PM

Wala na raw 3 for 100

kasi it doesn't come na ng maramihan.....so unless they want to sell their stocks fast, they would not go for the 3 for 100 na.

Napaisip akong mukhang pwede siyang off-road project. Manual hubs tapos LSD or diff lock pa ang iba.

Short wheelbase din and pwede lagyan ng tractor tires.

Kapag na-stuck, buhatin na lang! hehehe.

hindi ko pa nababasa ang ibang posts, 5am na kelangan ko na matulog...

BUT! this is a good idea! may rear diff lock din!

also, question: pwede ko kaya isalpak ang difflock ng Super Carry sa Vitara?

**crawdaddy** · August 25th, 2003 05:41 AM

wildthing,
pwede bang i-regear ito to be able to run with larger tires? :D

**wildthing** · August 25th, 2003 06:12 AM

pede siguro but I'm not very familiar with regearing...so i'm not really sure....ang napansin ko lang kasi ang "bungo" ng differential is quite small (smaller than a vitara or newer samurai).

Mura lang din naman ang "piece by piece" parts so puede naman siguro pagexperimentohan.

**crawdaddy** · August 26th, 2003 12:40 AM

wildthing-
thanks! siguro I could pass by Pilhino and ask...

**OTEP** · August 26th, 2003 12:42 AM

Pang-compacts ata yung diff ng Super Carry. Yung bungo pa lang parang mas maliit na, eh.

**wildthing** · August 26th, 2003 05:37 AM

Yes it is quite small such that even if de trece lang ang gulong mo tapos spring over differential ang set-up mo parang more than 10 inches ng ang ground clearance mo from underneath (measured from the lowest point in the vech - which is dun sa bungo ng differential)....i think ?!?

**rking** · October 5th, 2003 05:26 AM

If anyone is serious about purchasing these type of units. I could get them from Japan. I'm gonna get one for a friend kasi for his talyer. As for the price, i still would have to check on it. if anyone would be interested. i can be contacted at 0917 7915710

**wheelieboi** · October 5th, 2003 07:57 PM

There's one monster zuki carry here in our place. ANG GANDA! A yellow one wearing 33x12.5 tires on 15x10 steel rims. But the owner said na pinalitan na nya ang diff using the diffs of a zuki beaver tapos makina was 660cc din.

meron din iba wearing 31's and 32's di ko lng alam specs nun

wala bang power steering variants nun? o pwedeng conversions?

**ARB** · October 13th, 2003 09:06 PM
