Dunlop Grandtrek 265/70 R17 , i think they are 6 Ply, my uncle owns a tyre shop, old school tyre dealer, he recommended these - showed a marked improvement in comparison to the Bridgestone tyres it came with It would be unwise to compare comfort just because the anterior part of the chassis of the above vehicles are shared, the L200 and Hilux both are leaf sprung whereas the Fortuner and Montero Sport are both coil sprung, they are shorter in length and the placement of shock absorbers are different, the final drive, diff ratios, gear ratios are different which also makes minor improvements. The body in turn is just a tub in the pickups which are directly bolted to the chassis, whereas the suv have different mounts. As far as I know the difference between a coil spring and a leaf spring is not "minor" Would it not be wise to consider what the chap who actually owns the vehicle says rather than just jot down what you "think" is "comfy" or not "comfy"? Lastly it would be hilarious to argue on which SUV is "?comfy" when all these are off road vehicles, work horses more oriented towards the farmhouse rather than the city, whereas due to the peer pressured prestige factor and high values they run in this country we end up with threads like this! The Prado / Montero in whatever generation cannot be considered comfortable, but they do however manage fairly well as SUVs, given that they carry 4wd gear, underbody guards, high tension coil springs and gas shock absorbers and a lot of weight. Come on discussions like these should be more at home with vehicles like a C Class merc or 5 series 7 series BMWs not these. sigh

Comfort is pretty much the same, the pajero/ montero is better on corners, less body roll In the montero sport I have put harder bushes and bump stops so its a bit better, aftermarket bits to improve the overall comfort, and softer tyres.

My 4m41 does 10 long distance and 4 in the kandy town 4d56T 8-10 overall

1st gen pajero 4d56 - manual does 12-13kmpl Trooper - 4JB1 - about 10-12kmpl manual 4JG2 - 8- 10 kmpl (big horn body) 4JX1 - 8 kmpl Rather than fuel effiency you should look into finding a good legitimate vehicle and expensive running repairs and bodywork. Good choice btw. Personally I would recommend the Pajero as an overall vehicle. But when taken care from new Isuzu engines and drive train are very hardy and manage high mileages

True to that solid axles seem to have much more advantage off road than independent suspension, in my case L200 and the montero sport manage difficult terrain far better than the montero and seem to have a bit more clearance as well, comfort-wise all are equally uncomfortable!

A 4WD Townace Noah ( CR51) or a Hiace 4WD has more ground clearance than the new CR-V. It's more or less a bling and soccer mom wagon. yea as for the wrap we tend to use these universal matte black wrap, thing is extremely sticky and resistant to tear or puncture. Used to be 295 rs a foot at 4ft wide, covers the sides with like 3000 bucks. Saves the paint from some of the shrubs and thorns. It does look funny and pointless but u will be amazed how deep a thorn scrapes the paint.

We have been using several Mitsubishi Suvs and pickups and I currently own 2, all diesel all nearing the 100000km mark, spent countless hours at the agents relating to maintenance but never heard any issue as such. My in-laws own a 200000 mile UK raging bull pickup with factory dpf, yet no issue. other than them being thirsty and a bit costly to maintain I haven't seen any major problem with the mitsubishi diesel suvs, alteast they have powerful old lumps with loads of torque, compared to these 1000cc and 1500cc wannabe suvs which are slow when you compare, my uncle own a first gen pajero ( palath saba) single owner brand new import, unopened engine 250000 odd km turbo M/T, that thing rapes vezels and CHRs easy.

The CRV is losing value as is, people who bought the for around 10.7 mil now letting them go for 9.1 ish. On the other hand almost all cars are depreciating now.

Would like to know what this issue is?

There is a still a bit of scatter towards the upper part of the field (above windows) thereby you will be illuminating bus drivers faces also!?

yes

Well switches can be easily bought off ebay and aliexpress, use existing switches to compare dimensions I'm no electrical engineer, infact I am a medical person, but I tend to DIY a lot and always sketch sub par wiring diagrams and leave them in my cars documents incase a glitch turns up along the way. The following diagram is what I used sometime back in my Hilux. Use at your own risk! with proper parts. The only part hard to find was the diode When taking a direct line from the battery be sure to use a fuse within few cm before proceeding and of course with proper insulation. Do excuse the poor diagrams and symbols, it was done on Ms Paint!

A simple seat belt requires mounting to the frame of the car using a approx 14mm bolt where the thread is usually welded or tapped into a bracket of sufficient strength in the 3 usual points. The bolt secured to the B pillar of the car will require a small brace securing the pillar side by side and the thread right at the centre of the brace where the loop is attached for the belt to run. The clip or the locking attachment is attached medially usually but find with enough clearance to the hinge of the seat.

It's not that difficult, a skilled mechanic can simply mount them, just 3 points You 'll have to resort to used seat belts off car parts shops or else pay premium to get sets off agents. Matter of fabrication of brackets thereafter. Depending on what your vehicle is

They usually go one by one, I've noticed. The centre ones first in the triangle but out first, and one fine day the whole buster stops. Mostly fellas don't notice till a cop tells. Honda gave out a service bulletin on this, idk if agents here had it. Any led guy can tear them apart and put in new ones the issue is the type of led inside is apparently hard to match, also water proofing is hard. Normal leds don't last much. A relative finally yielded to replace a complete cluster from Japan. Also this issue was rare in UK imported cars which then again are rare here.

Most used tyres are past their expiry date, very likely to puncture, loose pressure and deform, further you may damage a rim, or even loose the whole car or a life. People resort to these due to the appalling tyre prices here, still no price too high to risk any life

Em***s mate. Price is a bit to the the high side but work is exceptional. Has good stuff Been buying stuff from him since 2003 Ch*m*r* car audio is average cheap but average stuff and clientele.

Not sure but for an eBay warranty you have ship it back. I doubt this store will even be open online in one year.

Im not sure of a retailer mate but you will definitely get taxed for these, as it will get held up in customs, if you can hand carry these it might work but still these lights go off in 1-2 years, you ll see plenty of versions of these on the road, with partially working leds.

Lol Vezel being called a "Jeep", its not even a proper SUV, the comparison itself is absurd! Let alone the term. TBH Most vezel fellows do drive like they are invincible, heavy acceleration, sudden stops, until an old box prado rapes them in a traffic light!

Its a good looking car as is, why would you want to fit cheap aftermarket and fibre bits to it? It came with projector headlights right. Most aftermarket mods for this vehicle came here from Thailand and Taiwan making them the worst, and a spoiler on an SUV? Mind you the resale will go to hell if you are planning to use it for a while and get rid of it.

This particular enterprise has a bucket load of bad experiences. I wonder why people still run behind them

Looking at how the red wagon R suffered from the head on with the vezel, I believe there are more things to worry about than mileage vs longevity!
