Welcome to all owners of Toyota Fortuner [ARCHIVED]

[herbularyo]

gud pm mga tsikoteers, pls add me to list of the ride...

At last I got my new baby.. this Feb 27, 2006 around 6pm at Toyota Manila Bay,, OD Meter indicate 57kms.

Congrats. Welcome to the club.

[shockz]

when going up to the parking lot i'll felt it slip on the back, yun parang megamall paakyat. driving slow...

Check your tire pressure. 30psi lang ok na assuming you are using OEM tires. Pag bagong labas sa casa, usually mataas ang pressure (up to 45psi). Correct pressure will provide better footing and grip.

Thanks bro, will the nitrogen really helps improve the bouncy ride?

i think so. it is used in F1 cars. the temp of your tires will not increase even on long rides which means you'll have stable tire pressure. also, mas gagaan ang tires mo pag naka-nitro.

monpogi, around php 100/tire.

Just curious how do they do this? Do they deflate/empty each tire of its air and inflate it with nitrogen?

Sheesh! If you can afford just one car for your family, 'wag Fortuner bilhin mo noh! You can buy 2 cars for the price of a Fortuner! Or, just one car worth P1M and you'll have P600T for your precious family... IMO, if anyone can afford a pricey SUV, they should be able to afford the maintenance costs, as well. Don't complain that you risked money to spend on your family 'cause you bought an expensive SUV. It was your choice to love the SUV more than your family (which I think is a poor choice)...

Kaibigang vikoyski, ala ka na doon kung Fortuner din o anong brand bibilhin ko di mo pera pambibili ko.
IMO, if anyone can afford a pricey SUV, they should be able to afford the maintenance costs, as well.
Alam mo na nga pricey ang SUV, masama bang maging vocal ako to get the variant without tainted record which is VVTI para worry free at normal maintenance lang? Maski mahal o mura ang ride mo, kailangan pa rin ng maintenance. Tanggapin mo sa hindi, mas reliable ang VVTI engine kesa D4D.
Don't complain that you risked money to spend on your family 'cause you bought an expensive SUV. It was your choice to love the SUV more than your family (which I think is a poor choice)...
Kaya nga VVTI ang choice ko at di D4D kasi masa satisfy na ang love ko sa SUV plus I don't risk my money with this VVTi variant plus may extra cash pa ako matitira to spend for my family. Kaya papaano naging poor choice aber?
Saka wala kang alam what I have invested for my family kaya don't say that I love the SUV more than my family. Family mo ang isipin mo dre!

Re nitro air, Php50/tire sa Bridgestone The Fort. Di ko alam kung nag-increase na dahil sa VAT.

thanks po! ill definitely have my tires inflated with nitro next week. dami palang benefits. sa ngayon kasi naka 30 psi ako on all 4 tires kakatakot lang kasi pag nag park ako ng tagaytay ng matagal tagal bumabagsak to 27psi/22degrees C yung gulong. then pag nasa manila naman pumapalo ng 36psi/48degrees C pag tanghaling tapat.

I think everyone is entitled to his own opinion...

anyway, change topic muna...

bukod sa casa saan kaya available or pwedeng mag pagawa ng hood insulator?

[lexus]

my SA called me yesterday and quoted 52,000 for the insurance of the 3.0. told him to lower it to 36K. ano ba going rate ngayon?

[franci_rod]

Guys, pwede kaya install-an yung Fortuner ng front/rear backup sensors na kapareho ng sa Previa? Nasakyan ko kasi yung sa boss, ko, natuwa ako kasi yung visual sensor niya, hindi sa rear view mirro nakalagay...it was on one of the panels (parang ung OEM na turbo timer) pero instead, there was a sort of "top view" picture of a car tapos with led lights representing the sensors, which blink and beep. O diba?? 'Stig! Pwede kya?? Baka meron na sa inyo naka-gawa...share naman! Thanks! =)

[shockz]

Better check your dealer. If its on the Previa, malamang pwede sila maginstall sa Fortuner. They could consider ordering the original Previa sensor system for you. You can also check car shops along Banawe, maraming backup sensors ngayon. Just look around and you will find several choices and options.

As for the display, it looks cool pero you should not rely on it. Mas safe pa din ang audio (sensor beeper) plus your own actual view of the surroundings. I only have the rear sensor without the display and it is wrapped around the whole bumper so walang gaps sa signal. Its a long metal strip stuck on the inner side of the rear bumper so hindi visible and sensor (no holes on my bumper). I bought this in Hong Kong so Im not sure if it is available in the Phils.

hood insulator for fortuner or for any ride for that matter 2 variants available

one is a diy type you can buy at handyman or true value- color and feel is similar to what's wrapped on the boom boxes - subject to availability, price unknown (this was info gathered from a previous post from dudes who were in same predicament as you)

two is one used by Seatmate Mandaluyong looks like roof insulation, thinner in feel, silver lining on one side (side that'll be facing the engine & one side thin yellow cushion that's rugbied to your engine, cost php 300 BUT since you're sporting a new car and with vat and all might be close to php 500)

ask ko what is the best & match horn for the fortuner? 2morow I'lll be going to Banawe to purchase and install accessories, any advice & comments, thanks.

big brother, i've installed Stebel Magnum on my unit, and others like vicoyski installed a Stebel Nautilus. Visit the site, you can sample the sound, too! here's the link:

Thanks bro! Will ask na lang the dealer when I bring it in for service this weekend.

Ok yung sensor mo ah! Sana meron din dito niyan...ayoko kasi talaga butasan bumpers eh. Tapos mas ok pa yan dahil buong likod may sensor na almost no chance of hitting anything from the back unless siguro mataas na masyado. Cool! Balitaan mo kami kung may nakita ka na dito.

beebs, saan ba nagpapa-karga? Can u recommend any shop in QC area? Thanks in advance!

[franci_rod]

Fortuner owners, na-experience niyo ba 'to sa mga rides niyo? Nag-mi-mist kasi yung small portion of my windshield....yung sakto sa tapat ng aircon vents/defogger for the front windshield (meron bang rear? hehe!) kahit naka-set naman aircon vent setting ko to passenger lang. When I placed my hand over it, I felt a little amount of air breezing through that's causing the misting. Nangyayari ba rin yung ganito sa inyo??

[letranboy]

beebs, saan ba nagpapa-karga? Can u recommend any shop in QC area? Thanks in advance!

sa " The Fort" bridgestone show room. makikita mo sya agad pag nasa fort kana. punta ako later or tom. palagay din ako. pero im thinking hindinaan same yung F1 tire sa tire ng fortuner. that F1 cars are setup for nitro. meron kayang magiging problem sa tires natin if ever na lagyan natin? this is only my opinion
