Hilux J matagtag ba?

[Psylocke]

Matagtag ba ang Hilux J? Two-stage ba yung rear leaf springs nya? (yung malambot muna kapag walang karga)

[Ungas]

Rode one today and driven it for 220kms. Nanakit likod ko sa tagtag since walang load sa bed. I would assume it is not a 2-stage that you are referring to. Suspension is setup on the firm side. Concrete and asphalt patches could easily be felt inside the cabin. Imo, loading the bed with heavy stuffs would ensure bottoming out suspension will not be expected as long as the load weight is within its range.

On a sidenote, engine performance on the 2.5L D4-D was unbelievable! Easily overtakes on long stretches of road. Economy wise, fuel gauge just moved a notch from full mark for the whole stretch of my travel. I will refill tomorrow to check how many liters were consumed.

naka reverse ba yung leaf springs? maybe that would compensate. and probably the seats na rin.

[Ungas]

Foam on the seats are pretty firm too, probably since the unit is still new & fresh from the dealer when I drove it.

Di pwede re-config leaf springs. It will be primarily used for hauling stuffs.

may magandang paraan ba para gumanda suspension nito? i admit matigas nga sya.


kargahan ko kaya ng 2 sako ng bato?

[swimstroke]

Kung sakaling kakargahan mo ng 2 sakong bato, mga ilang % kaya magiging effect nito sa konsumo? Any other alternatives?

[2Dmax]

negligible na siguro effect nun. alm ko may nabibili na suspension kit na two-stage sa banaue. pag magaan ang load, 2 or 3 leafsprings lang ung gumagana, pero pag mabigat na, kasama na ung ibang leafsprings. bili kaya ko nun.. hmmmmmmmmmmmm

[ARB]

you dont need to buy the 2 stage leaf pack. you can make your own.

[2Dmax]

ARB,

how?

Ganyan yung isang Hilux sa may Sampaloc. Pero buhangin yata yung karga. Naka-sentro over the rear axle.

[dieselNUBI]

anong brand? nasa magkano ito?

[jarhead]

what i have known sa ibang pick up owners... binaliktad nila ang pinka huling leafspring.. yun makapal na support sa huli...
