Toyota Hiace Commuter/GL Grandia/Super Grandia Owners & Discussions Thread [Merged]

[OTEP]

My pal just lost two tires on his rolla on the slex recently. No loss of contol. Had to wait an hour for a flatbed car carrier

[OTEP]

On the ambulance it was the engine cover rubber gasket. Bago pa kasi. When it adapts to the shape of the engine bay, the noise should stop too.

Super Grandia.
Guys lumabas na ba yung facelift?
Pareho lang ba specs nito sa 2.5 na Fort?

[Harangody]

Anong pwedeng kunin na freebie imbis na tint?

How much gastos niyo sa tint na all around?

[vinj]

^AFAIK, wala talaga masyadong freebies sa Hiace aside from the usual floor mats, tint and seat covers. With the GL, we got the free 3M tint for the front since the rears already have privacy glass as standard.

[Harangody]

Ano difference ng GL sa Super?

[vinj]

Ano difference ng GL sa Super?

The SG notably has:
- dual sliding doors
- rear captains chairs
- softer rear suspension (SG)
- a/t
- Alloy rims

good day mga hi-ace owners, pasali ako sa thread. ask lang sana ako baka any of you guys know where i can buy the super grandia alloy magwheels, ours kasi is the GL Grandia variant. nag inquire ako sa casa, ang mahal e. TIA

You'll have to just take your chances at the second hand tire shops. Try the shops on P. Tuazon in Cubao and West Ave. if you're from the QC area. In Makati and Pasay, there's Evangelista. Pahirapan yan since bihira ang may mag-upgrade ng rims sa Super Grandia. Your best bet would be to find second hand Hilux 4x4 15"rims.

[atog]

mga sir tanung ko lang..gusto ko sana pabago un rear seat ng GL ko..gusto ko sana un pwede i fold para sa balik bayan box..anu kaya maganda gawin dito..

[vinj]

^Try Seatmate

Or aftermarket 15s. Just make sure to check for the proper offset. Fortuner 16s or 17s also fit, but i suppose give less load capacity.

[IMm29]

Baka hindi umabot sa width.

IMm29, big factor there is finding the proper offset. I've seen some putting aftermarket 15s and it didn't fit out too nice. I saw a Hiace with the 17s from a Monty Sport and it looked great.

Oh that i'd seen that grandia at the Fort. Pwede din!

Some GLs have been swapping their rims for what appeared to be black rhino look a likes. Sablay ang offset IMO.

Actually maselan sa offset ang Grandia based on what i've seen using aftermarket rims.

Same with GS, actually. Parang car-based ang offset nila.

What I've noticed are some Grandias (whether GL or Super) resort to the 6 spoke, 1st facelift Fortuner 17s. Since medyo nakalabas yung goma, they also resort to what appear to be lower profile tires. I would think this would lessen the load bearing capacity of the tires, right?
