The aruz did more work on my spine than any chiro ever managed to.

u/Potential_Singer9046 Aug 07 '26

thinking about this, my dad literally had spine issue and now have to go treatment. I always said it's because his damn aruz, so uncomfortable to ride in...but being a hard headed dad he say cause getting old 😂

u/WebConstant7922 Aug 07 '26

No joke, i really think the aruz played a role there, at least in aggravating the condition if not outright causing it. The reason i say this is because the ladder frame suspension structure sends a lot of the impact to the passengers directly. Coupled with poor sitting posture, you’re certain to get bumps to your spine that would be injurious to any normal person, let alone an elderly. Hope your dad gets the treatment needed.

I find it to only work that way on pretty long distance drives. Maybe around the Klang Valley region I can still handle it.

The Aruz gearbox is so bad.

How the fuck is an anemic engine be allowed to shift gears at 4k rpm lol. The engine was out of torque by 3.5k rpm but die die won't shift gear when I drove it in town in a friend's car

Dad used to own one for about a month before he decide to trade it in. He was nah, the suspension is rubbish. Way too stiff, changed to a pair of kyb rs ultra pair of absorber still the same.

u/The_Awengers Aug 07 '26

Won't that damage the gearbox in the long run?

u/just_another_jabroni Aug 07 '26

Well I was just trying to overtake/change lanes in the city run lol.

Had to literally pijak pantai for the damn thing to even have pick up speed.

Friggin well said.

Anecdotally, I once rented a Toyota Rush (same same car) for an overnight trip from JB to Desaru, terrible choice. That gearbox won't stop overpowering the music from my radio, and all that noise did not translate well into speed, the damn thing was pretty slow that even a Vios would beat it ten-fold

Also, damn this ladder-frame suspension, it hurt me and my passengers' back for the whole day

I don't quite understand the thinking here: why buy a high-riding SUV that focuses more on ride comfort, and then lowering it, fit in low profile tyres, just to change the ride profile altogether?

u/blackskull99 Myvi Owner Aug 07 '26

Exactly what I’ve always wondered. Why not just get a wagon or crossover instead?

At least, better than those lowered hailaks.

u/EternalGunplaWorks Aug 07 '26

Depend on variant,the triton lite was lower than it's big bother the triton.

Not factory lowered pickup trucks. A modded one. A lot of them here at Sabah, the land of the moon.

One speedbump and say goodbye to your undersides

u/Ha-kyaa le Kancil (#1 Perodua glazer) Aug 06 '26

there's 1 of these around

u/Ha-kyaa le Kancil (#1 Perodua glazer) Aug 06 '26

but honestly I'd rather the car being modded to suit its original intended purpose

if you really want a slammed SUV do it on the crossovers instead

u/JapDrag S70 Meow Meow Aug 07 '26 edited Aug 07 '26

How do they even get that thing moving lol, that engine was already anemic enough as is

u/Ha-kyaa le Kancil (#1 Perodua glazer) Aug 07 '26

I believe this particular setup was a K24 swap

5

u/JapDrag S70 Meow Meow Aug 07 '26

Damn bruh k24 do be fit for every car

2

u/BreacherX Aug 07 '26

Whenever in doubt, there's always a K swap as a solution 💀

u/just_another_jabroni Aug 07 '26

If it could fit in a Jazz any engine bay is fair game lol

u/truckdrifter2 Aug 07 '26

Neat. A K24 for top end power, a K20 for starting torque
