Real, the Daihatsu Terios four-wheel drive, 4x4. Do not believe it? Please read the tenacity and patience Taufiq Nugroho who managed to turn his own Terios 4WD (4 Wheel Drive) this.
At first, the idea of the man from Jogjakarta to modify the output Terios 2007 she used this long ago. "The idea has been there since this SUV emerged in Indonesia. Seems suitable for the wife rather than take the car deh big, "said Taufiq.
Plus the guy's curiosity mechanical engineering graduate this ITB, why baseball Terios in Indonesia issued its 4WD version.
Finally this 4WD enthusiast men began to wonder through the mailing list. But the result is zero. Then had to ask my friends jeep expert, even practically difficult.
Because the body and chassis are not supportive. Based on his quest, his intention was ngedrop and obscure dreams, plus busy work in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
In fact, it was his intention to materialize, he gets front axle Daihatsu Taruna, but after going through a long process of negotiation with the seller in Malaysia and hardship through customs, it turns out that the components can not be installed. "Though quite expensive," he complained.
Luckily there is also an offer from his importer component. A set of axle, transfer case follows a pair of front brake disc following ex-car holder Perodua Nautica 4WD Terios which is marketed by the Malaysian Perodua.
Taufiq thought it would be easier installation because the Terios and Nautica have physical similarities, only Nautica has a slightly shorter wheelbase.
This assumption is not entirely true 100%. Because to put up axle and transfer case, a seat mounted to the chassis must be bolt-on. More complicated because they have to remove the independent front suspension system Terios. After that could be mounted front axle and transfer case her.
For the coupling can be directly installed because it uses the default Nautica. Not so with the rear. Coupling innate Terios should be cut back in order to connect to the transfer case.
Modification process is already finished the apparently still is constrained. Ground clearance is still too low for the front wheels and 4WD frame. "Only about 17 cm, of course I'am not happy because there stuck going to get stuck here," said the man who had strong Malay accent this
Finally the front frame and all its 4WD system is lowered again. Because the frame modifications need 4WD to get enough ground clearance. "Now (ground clearance) approximately 25 cm from the ground. It is enough to play to the beach and light off-road, "he added.
With permanent 4WD system (full time) Nautica's innate, pri born 1976 could beroff-road fun with his beloved wife. (Mobil.otomotifnet.com)
