5 Modified Offroad Cars for Beginners
The modified off-road cars that we recommend below are fairly cheap but have proven toughness. In addition, the offroad car is also suitable for use by offroad car beginners while adapting.
Modified offroad car is a car ready to quench the thirst of offroad and adventure lovers. Generally, this off-road car modification is deliberately focused so that the vehicle can pass on the median road which is quite extreme and cannot be passed by other vehicles.
But that does not mean that building a modified off-road car must be based on a 4x4 or All Wheel Drive (AWD) car. Because it turns out that there are also many cars that only drive the rear wheels in offroad car mods. But indeed when choosing a car that is already 4x4 driven for off-road car modification, the modification process becomes easier.
For those of you who are new to the offroad world but are already smitten with the desire to immediately plunge into a puddle of mud with your favorite vehicle, this time Cintamobil.com will tell you what to choose from modified offroad cars that are reasonably priced, easy to master, but have proven to be tough on offroad terrain. .
1. Daihatsu Taft Offroad Car Under Rp 50 Million
The first choice of modified off-road car material we recommend is the Daihatsu Taft. The SUV type car from Daihatsu is indeed quite old. Considering that this car has been introduced in Indonesia since 1976. However, Taft is still widely relied on for traversing forests or mountains.
The ease of driving, the availability of abundant spare parts, and the large selection of accessories for this car make the Daihatsu Taft very worthy of being an off-road car modification for beginners.
If you want an affordable price, you can choose the first generation Daihatsu Taft known as the Taft Kebo. But if you want something a little more modern, you can look at Taft Rocky Independent. For the first generation Daihatsu Taft, the price is in the range of Rp. 30 million - Rp. 40 million. Meanwhile, the Daihatsu Taft GT costs Rp 40 million - Rp 60 million. If you want to choose the Taft Rocky, the price is between Rp. 70 million to Rp. 130 million.
2. Suzuki Jimny Best Offroad Car
The next car that can be modified off-road is the Suzuki Jimny. But if you want a modified off-road car that is still affordable, don't choose the latest generation Suzuki Jimny. Choose a Jimny from the 1980s to 1990s.
Just like the Daihatsu Taft, although he is no longer young, the availability of spare parts and components as well as off-road accessories for this car is abundant. So this makes it easier for you to choose according to your needs.
Even off-road fans are still relying on the Jimny as their mount. Good for just offroad fun on the weekends, or to enter the competition track. No wonder the price of used Jimny cars is still holding up. For example, for the 1982 Suzuki Jimny, if the condition is good enough, the price is set at over Rp. 60 million. But that price is certainly still much cheaper than you buy the latest generation Suzuki Jimny.
3. Ford Ranger Cheap Offroad Car Alternative
If you want a modified off-road car that is quite modern but not too expensive, you can choose a used Ford Ranger. Because double cabin cars like this have proven to be tough to use in extreme fields when they are at mining sites. Therefore, it is not surprising that as a hardworking car, the Ford Ranger is also widely used as a modification of Indonesian off-road cars.
The price of an ex-mined Ford Ranger is under Rp 100 million. But you should choose the engine and the legs are still quite healthy. Even if there is a minus, then consider that the deficiency can still be improved. Because not infrequently these ex-mining cars are in quite rotten condition due to being forced to work very hard. If it is like that, then the costs for repairing and modifying off-road cars can increase even more.
If the condition of the engine and legs are healthy, then the car can be modified to be ready for use on offroad tracks. Don't worry about repair shops and spare parts availability for the Ford Ranger either. Because these two needs are still easy to find both in big cities and in the regions.
4. Mitsubishi Triton Double Cabin Cool for Offroad
The next double cabin car that we also recommend for Indonesian off-road car modifications is the Mitsubishi Triton. But if you want an affordable price, don't choose the first generation Triton. Try hunting the third or fourth generation Triton. But if you want even more, you can look at the cars that were used by mining or forestry companies.
The third generation Mitsubishi Triton is often nicknamed the L200 Strada. The design still tends to be boxy but this actually makes it look more manly. While the fourth generation Triton also has another nickname Strada Triton and the model is more modern than the L200.
In the Cintamobil.com listing, the L200 Strada, which is still not a modified off-road car, is sold starting from Rp. 55 million to Rp. 100 million depending on conditions. As for the Strada Triton, the price starts from Rp. 70 million.
5. Toyota Hilux Is Also Cool Modified Offroad
The last car that we recommend if you want an Offroad car mod for beginners is the Toyota Hilux. Why? Because in addition to being proven to be tough because it is also used for mining or plantation companies, the availability of these auto parts is very large. Even the aftermarket parts are not inferior to the original parts from Toyota.
In addition, the variety of accessories and components for off-road car modifications based on the Toyota Hilux is very abundant. Not infrequently aftermarket companies from Europe or America also provide components for this car to make it tough on offroad terrain. Considering that Hilux is not only marketed in Indonesia, but also in several other countries.
Regarding the price, the Toyota Hilux double cabin in used condition is still quite high, which is above Rp 200 million. But if you want a cheaper price than that, you can look for Hilux, a former mining or plantation company. The price can be Rp 50 million cheaper than former private users. But again, look for one whose condition is still quite healthy.
Those are some affordable modified offroad car options if you are just starting to try to jump into the offroad world. Our advice, if you want to build a really tough off-road car modification, then prepare a large enough fund. Considering the offroad supporting components for these cars are expensive.
