Welcome to all owners of Toyota Fortuner [ARCHIVED]

[herbularyo]

Mga Sirs:

May naka-try na ba sa inyo magpa-install ng HID sa inner headllights lang (for high beam). I really need a very bright high beam at night esp on some lonely & unlighted stretch of provincial roads. However, I want to preserve the low-beam (outer head lights) para hindi ma-abala ang ibang cars sa opposing lanes at city roads.

TIA

meron bang oem na baby fender mirror para sa fortuner? i plan to get one for my unit. medyo blind spot yung front passenger side, eh ... lalo na kung may katabing mababang sasakyan sa parking area.

[beebs]

my fortuner under repair. pina-reform yung bumper...

[number001]

Saw a white Fortuner sans the rear bumper like that also, parked outside Toyota Makati.

[conix]

i just had the PIE connection installed in my 3.0. i got it from the main distributor in pasong tamo extension (MAXX ENERGIE VENTURES). it's across chevrolet. i got it for php5T flat.it includes installation already. but i bought an optional thicker goldtipped rca cable for php250. manipis kase yung free rca cable nila. this is to prevent distortion and static. it worked perfectly. no need to buy the expensive monster rca cable. you can actually get the cable cheaper outside, maybe php150, kaya lang gusto ko makabit na and ayoko buksan ulit yung head unit part ng dash. baka malaspag yung clips. plastic lahat e. the technicians know which part to remove, sobrang dali lang. wala pang 10minutes. pinalabas ko yung cable sa globe compartment so i do have an option to leave the ipod inside the compartment or beside me. i didnt get the full interface coz the HU of the fortuner does not support text display kaya sayang din. doble price ng full interface. i'm very happy na with the rca type. clear crisp sound. ready to hit the long drive with it.

Mga sir, na-experience niyo na ba 'to sa mga Fortuner niyo...I was driving along Ayala tapos bigla nag yellow yung stop light, so mejo nag hard brake ako. While my foot was on the pedal, parang nakarinig ako ng mechanical sound coming from the brakes, tapos naramdamin ko rin sa brake pedals...parang nanginginig tapos parang may makakalas sa preno. Sabi nung kasama ko baka ABS daw yun...I'm not too sure. Di pa kasi ako nagkaroon ng oto na may ABS. Ganun ba talaga? Parang nakakatakot kasi yung tunog..kala mo may masisira na lang bigla. Need your expert advise! Help!

Pagka may na observe ka na abnormal pag nag preno ka, better pa check mo kaagad sa kasa since di ba may posting na dito regarding sa Fortuner brake problems. IMO, I'll not wait for the other Fortuner owner's advise on this issue since it's a critical item at ikaw ang maapektuhan in case there is really a brake problem sa unit mo at di sila.

Harhar! Don't worry yourself over what you experienced... It is indeed the ABS. It works by engaging and releasing the brakes repeatedly at high speed intervals, to prevent them from locking-up. That's the reason why you feel as if you're running over painted speed bumps when you suddenly step on your brakes at high speed.

Ganoon ba vicoysky Yong Sorento ko may ABS din, bakit di ko nararamdaman yong nanginginig ang pedal saka mechanical noise na sinasabi ni franci_rod pag nag hard brake ako? Naramdaman ko na pwede pa ring mag steer.

[attynorby]

Yep, it's the ABS doing its job! Nothing to worry.

Just like what vicoyski said earlier, that's your ABS doing what it's supposed to do. Don't be alarmed. What you should be concerned of is if your breaks behaves otherwise (locked wheels, for instance)
I was in a situation where i had to do a very hard braking (i mean really hard), and i am glad that the ABS of the Fortuner actually works! It saved me a lot of hassles (financial and paperworks). But for a moment there, i actually thought that the breaks would be shredded into pieces

I'm just surpised with this Fortuner with this noise feedback from the owners. Bago ang mga unit bakit may mga noise na na sila naririnig?

Hehehe... May nakita na naman si Apexi! I thought D4-D hate campaign ka lang? You're very keen with anything negative about the Fortuner... It seems Fortuner hate campaign na ang ginagawa mo ah.

Pabayaan mo na, Sir. Concerned lang siguro si Apexi sa ating ride.

The most important thing is that we are satisfied with our car.

If ever I will encounter any trouble with my ride I will definitely share it on this thread so that other owners will also be aware. So far, sa awa ng Diyos, wla pa naman.
