  1. What a video man. This is the second video ever I've seen from your channel, after the Caterpillar swap. It's a very fun videos to watch.

    Philippines is so similar to Indonesia where i live. Trucks are always sketchy around here too, most trucks aren't registered because they won't pass the inspection, because trucks owner would skimp on maintenance. There's rarely any truck stopping, but when police officer needs some money they'd stop random truck to check for papers that they knew they don't have and get some bribe money. Sadly the driver usually pay the bribe for the owner's negligence, also if they got into accident because truck got no brakes (because of lack of maintenance), the driver would get jailed also.

    That stuff aside, it's funny to know that Philippines also kiss hand/put hand on forehead thing. It is to pay respect for older people, even on some school including my junior high, we did that to teacher everytime we passed each other.

    For small diesel trucks, maybe import one from Asia and make a content with it, 90s or early 2000s hilux or Mitsubishi strada/triton looks cool as hell with their factory hood scoop. Power is quite low on that era of diesel, since mostly is still SOHC. 2.5 turbo diesels are making around 100hp and 250NM torque.

  2. Hi Uncle Rich,

    Thank you for visiting Cagayan de Oro. It was fun meeting all of you, and I had a great time even though our schedules were hectic! Witnessing the projects of Bodega de Grasya and being involved was a great honor.

    It's true, my mom is awesome at negotiating! ๐Ÿ˜‚ Hoping to see you all again soon!

  3. Hey Rich, the Hilux is very popular in Australia here too. You might be better off buying a 15 y.o. one from here to import, they probably depreciate faster here as our population can afford to keep newer fleets.

    Also, we pronounce it "high-lucks", not "helix". I'm not sure what the Filipino pronunciation is.

  4. Cool adventure, that little truck sure did it's job.

    Also if you think that cardeck is crazy packed, you should see some of the Ro-Ro ships here in Europe

  5. Iโ€™ve never been on a mission trip where things didnโ€™t work out, maybe not the way I would have expected but works out none the less. Itโ€™s almost as if someone bigger than all of us is actually in chargeโ€ฆ.

  6. Hey!!! Nice seeing my favourite diesel mechanic close to home!
    A bit of a trivia,
    'Surplus' trucks here are usually imported from Japan and converted to LHD those are mostly Isuzu Elf and Fuso Canter, they come without beds usually and can be customized by the shop where you will buy the truck from. Most common engines here are Isuzu 4BE1 "Eagle" (most Jeepneys runs this engines so they're tried and tested) and Mitsu usually on 4M51 and parts for those are very common in any auto supply shop! Those tiny Suzuki Kei pickup trucks are imported and converted too, the largest distrubutor of those converted Keis comes from a shop called "Rusco". Thooo most of these have their aircons removed and could be added as an option or by any Car Aircon Specialist around town.
    Chinese trucks are a recent introduction here so I'm not sure about reliabilty and parts availability.
    But rest assured Filipino mechanics in Talyers, although hillbillies in technique, are really talented!

    Fun story, we bought a Canter once. We need to rebuild an engine so they sent me out to look for a headgasket, I checked the Vin# card on the door to identify the engine. It says 4M41 so my quick reaction was 'No way? A Pajero Engine!?' It's not only until they flip the cab and I immediately noticed that it was swapped with 4M51so imagine my excitemwent being quashed ๐Ÿ˜… Nice thing you inspected the trucks before buying them, I'm not sure why they showed that blowby engine to you? Maybe they're trying to offer a rebuilt service to you guys? That was kinda dubious of them.

    Passenger cars and suvs here with diesel engines are more commom as opposed to gas. From Mitsubishi's 4D56, to Toyota's 2.8 to, Isuzu's 4JJ1. Diesels are our most economical forms of transport here. (I myself owns a problematic 4JX1, oofs)
    I hope I got you all interested!
    Have a fun and safe journey! โค
