Patrol Maintenance

Mahal ba ang maintenance ng patrol safari series? My cousin owns one and says ang mahal daw ang pieza nito. Gulong pa lang daw butas na ang bulsa. (hand-me-down sa kanya at company service ng dad niya. btw, sa company ang maintenance costs bago binigay sa uncle ko). Plano pa naman daw niyang papalitan ang clutch disk dahil may slip na.

Hindi naman po mahal, konting dagdag lang.

Kung susuriin nya ang price ng oem versus replacement, sa konting deprensya mas maganda pa ang oem. Yung clutch parts for example, replacement parts will cost him 9-10K while the oem parts can be bought around 12K. Medyo mahal nga sa labor, ordinary vehicles charge 1-2K for tranny pull down. While the 4x4 equipt vehicles with transfer cases are 3-5K.

Kung sa gulong naman, baka po Simex or Mickey Thomson ang binili nya kaya mahal? Ordinary 31x10.5x15 stock tires AT will cost a bit more if compared to 205/65R15 tires for cars.

Tell your cousin maintaining it is a bit costly but it will sure serve him well in the long run.

whew! hanep din pala ang presyo ano? worn out na ang mga gulong, mostly highway ang gamit nun. stock ang inpinalit niya AT something. Thanks Ungas! Magugulat siya sa presyo ng parts quote mo, at least may idea na kung magkano. Mahirap na mapahiya sa repair shop.

Yep! I also did the same reaction as before. Switching from a family van maintenance to an SUV really is something. All in all I dished out 15K for my clutch assembly. Not to mention the other parts that needs to be changed as well.

Btw, not all parts are that expensive, orig oil, fuel and air filters are cheaper than other SUV brands.

What about the other parts that needed to be changed? mahal ba? like the springs, bushings, front and rear bumpers, headlights, steering stab and shocks, tires, snorkel, subwoofer... mahal ba yung mga yun?:roll:

Langya inisa isa mo na yung mods ko ah!

Springs are at a good price, sa bushings ako tinaga ng RATS at mukhang ayaw palitan yung mga 1 month old bushings ko. Wala daw warranty! Demit!

mdpo::: Yes, that's what I'm telling you about. Their products are good even the best in some countries. But the problem lies on the seller, either he's too greed for the money that can't even back his own words for it.

I would still recommend their products but not buying from them.
