2010 Mitsubishi Strada [continued]

[altec]

nakabit ko na ang carryboy softlid today. Nakakasanayan lang ang pag open at close sa soft lid. There is a lock lever on both corners, above the tailgate which keeps the soft lid in place. To open, unlock the lever and roll the cover, na parang trapal, made out of pvc. Check ko bukas kung kakasya ba ang mga styroboxes, supposedly kayang takpan, which made me choose the softlid over the rollers.

Nagsabi rin ang supplier na meron na raw siyang nahanap na 2nd hand door moldings!! Supposedly sabi ng seller to the supplier na ipapadala niya in the next few days (fingers crossed)! Nag offer din ang seller to asphalt spray on my cargo box's bed then reinstall the bedliner for added protection. Kasi minsan nagkakarga ako ng mga seafood at yung tulo ng saltwater daw baka pumasok in between the bedliner and the bed flooring. Ok ba kaya itong idea ng asphalt spray on?

Kamusta po 'yung soft cover ngayon 'pag umuulan? Nabasa ko dati na naiipon daw 'yung tubig 'pag sobrang lakas ng buhos ng ulan. HIndi ko lang maalala kung carryboy din ba 'yung pinag-uusapan noon.

Ang asphalt spray po ba ay parang 'yung ginagamit sa undercoat?

yung softlid ng carryboy may dalawang aluminum rod na parang 3 sided hexagonal shape, in effect may bukol sa gitna (convex effect), kaya hindi napopondo yung ulan sa gitna (concave effect-tama ba ito?) Umulan kanina dito sa amin, pero di masyadong malakas. Matetesting ko yung soft lid pagbumuhos. Ang kagandahan nito, kaibigan ko kasi yung supplier, binigyan ako ng 1 week trial. Kung ayaw ko raw, tanggalin niya.

Yung asphalt spray on, the way I understood it, parang yung pinakabit ko dati sa fuego ko, kaysa yung plastic bedliner, yung spray on bedliner type. I am not sure if its the same as undercoating. Tanong ko nga ulit.

hi sir!

I think kung mag papa spray kayo sa bed mas ok na yung rubberized spray na 3m...for me kasi I really don't like the asphalt thing on the bed...kahit na ba hindi kita...ang pangit parin tingnan pag tinangal yung liner and also malamang mas mdaling mabakbak yan kapag nakargan ng medyo mabigat ang bed mo IMHO...

hi bro!

I think your referring dun sa roller up and not the soft cover....kasi yung soft cover is completely water proof.... though I think the newer version of the roller up is waterproof na din...But IMO only time will tell if the statement of carryboy regarding it is really true...

[av8or5]

hi sir! you can bring it to winterpine in aurora blvd Im sure they can fix it...there are also a lot of cases like yours especially the bosbs who change the mags and the shop they have gone to is not familiar on setting up the TPMS properly after the change....

HTH...

PS

sir RTS...you've contributed a lot already in this strada forum...

the only thing missing now is a sticker on your back windshield...

Hope you can join us soon sir!

if my memory serves me correct, we have met RTS during the TSCP helping out with Ondoy victim. so i wouldnt be surprised na bigla na lang dumating si sir sa isang natin samahan.

I own an Isuzu DMAX (coomonrail), SCV pangkaraniwan na yan kc madumi talaga diesel d2 sa ating bansa compared to other countries... Toyota, Nissan, Ford pick-ups..nakaka-experience din ng ganyan...thats common...

thanks for the statement sir, i totally agree, although technology is good nowadays for diesel engine, but Pinas diesel is still not at par.

congrats sir sa new softlid ninyo, wow..fish.penge tuna. lol.

if you do carry salty things, i do suggest you get that asphalt type spray bedlining proctection. its an added protection for your paint. IMO.

Parang narinig ko yata yung may ari nung kinausap niya yung installer niya na 3m yata yun, so kung 3M, rubberized, hindi yung asphalt type?

di ko lang sure sir...kasi baka may 3m din na asphalt eh...better siguro kung sabihin nyo na yung rubberized ang palagay nyo....

Hello Sir Expatio,

'Glad to know that you are considering the Strada as your Top Pick as well as my co-members answering your queries.

Please continue to keep us updated with your purchase. And here is hoping you can consider joining the club as well... thanks

Sir Ian. Yes indeed they have been a great help here and in private messages.

As for the Strada Club; sure, I would love to join. But I will firstly have to buy the Strada (hopefully in October/November), and then I have to take it by sea to Cebu.

does anyone know how to TPMS, so the sensors will read the same location and pressure after you rotate the tires??

Tire Pressure Monitor

I think my OEM Tire pressure monitor is defective, it is for quite sometime that this gadget is always flashing the alarm of under pressure, I've checked the actual pressure of the one indicating under pressure, it shows 30psi. Nag umpisa ito when na flat & i had it vulcanized in one of the big shop of tires. Ano kaya ang nagalaw that I need to check.
Thanks.
RTS

Mine is not accurate either. I don't really use the tire pressure monitor but still good to have in case you get a flat while running since it will sound an alarm if this happens. It's still best to use a manual tire pressure meter but not those sub-100 peso devices.
