JI1FGX/DU9 Mindanao DiarySuzuki Light Truck(2009/08/07)
Today we are talking about this light truck.
In this country, all steering wheels are on the left. It is the law.
This means that all used cars brought from Japan must have the steering wheel changed from right to left!

I'm not talking about the car.This pagePlease enjoy it at

This car is also about 20 years old, but it was for sale in Osamis and Gigi bought it for 65,000 pesos (130,000 yen).
Still, it was a bargain since the average price is 15,000 pesos (about 300,000 yen)!
ICOM IC-2320 144/433MHz dealfrequency radio also installed in that truck.
Antenna bases are also hard to find, so I made my own by welding.
This is how we work the farmland and transport the harvested rice.
By the way, in this country, riding on the back of a truck is not tolerated.
There are even trucks with seats attached to the back of the truck.

However, he was hospitalized for running low on oil and his exhaust smelled of gasoline.
We did this and found that the piston rings were worn out and the piston liner was worn out, so we decided to replace the parts.
Piston rings, piston liners, gaskets, clutch related parts
Everything was purchased by Gigi from auto parts stores in Osamis and brought to the repair shop!
They say it's a way to make the repair cost a little less.
I was in the hospital for about a week, but after that, I continued to have problems with the speedometer not working, the ignition coil burning, etc.
Well, it's a 20 year old car, so it can't be helped.
Cars are a luxury item in this country. It is a sign of a rich man to drive a car while fixing it even if it is broken.
Well, when I was in Japan, I was driving a 30+ year old Suzuki Fronte LC20!
I've experienced various failures, including total engine failure due to piston con-rod breakage, so I'm not surprised by a few things.
