An Off-road Car Modification: Bolero Di 4x4




Having Bolero Di 4x4 for a year, Vinshad Aziz commented that his Bolero can be called a very good vehicle for a heavy-duty and no-frills off-road enthusiast. The hard top 5 door 4x4 also provides comfort and security needed while off-roading or daily driving. However, Bolero Di 4x4 has its own drawbacks. The drawbacks include no air conditioning, no power steering, and under powered engine. Besides, the Bolero has a low quality interiors and the driver always have the bumpy road experience even when the car at the stationary position.

Despite all the backwards that Vinshad had been mentioned about his Bolero, the car also has its own good parts, not to mention that the price of the car is reasonable. The good parts of the Bolero include a spacious place inside, a solid and heavy duty driveline, and a good presence and model. Bolero Di 4x4 which owned by Vinshad has the off-roading ability that can be drove everywhere he wants and has a promising security from its hard top and five doors, so that everything looks practical. Overall, Vinshad satisfied with his Bolero, not to mention that the 4WD Bolero is his first 4x4 car from any other two cars he owned over the years. He also stated that when he drove his Bolero, it never stop to attract people’s attentions and he kinds of like it.
To solve the problem of Bolero Di 4x4’s drawbacks, Vinshad did some modifications to make his car more comfortable to use and drive to anywhere. He added air conditioning for the interior, changed his previous tires with Yokohama Geolanders A/T-S 31-10. 50-15, changed to longer shackles. He also added rear custom bumper and rear pintle hook, hella rallye 3003 and work lamps, freewheeling tubs.

An Off-Road Car Review: 2012 Yamaha Rhino 700 FI Auto 4x4 Sport Edition


For an ATV, Yamaha Rhino 700 FI Auto 4x4 Sport Edition that produced in 2012 has a very good and satisfying performance for its users.  Despite its size, this mini truck has its own plus points compare to any other ATVs or trucks nowadays. The riders can bring this Rhino to a road trip to desserts, rocky tracks, even mountains. Having a test drive, the Rhino has its own adventure during several road trips to Calico Mountain, Mammoth Lakes, Johnson Valley, and any other interesting places and so far the test driver of the ATV had fun during the challenging trips.
Even though the Rhino 700 FI Auto 4x4 Sport Edition shared several things with its predecessor called Rhino 700FI, the sport edition designed more stylish with its very reliable packages the drivers can get from a 4x4. Besides, the Rhino will be able to go through hard tracks where the conventional big trucks will not succeed. The thick bucket seats with a seat belt for each bucket are installed to make the users comfortable during the ride and can be adjusted as the drivers liking. The Rhino also has LED tail lights, aluminum door knobs, 7.3 inches of wheel travel for each corners, a parking brake, etc.
With a 686cc liquid/oil-cooled, four-stroke engine, Yamaha Rhino 700 FI Auto 4x4 Sport Edition provides excellent performance for the drivers anytime and anywhere they want. The engine has Ultramatic transmission with dual-range drive along with an industry-exclusive three-position On-Command In/Out 4WD. By pushing just one button, the drivers are able to change between 2WD, limited-slip 4WD and fully locked differently (front differential locked, center differential locked, and rear differential locked). However, the engine seems produce a disturbing noise because of the high rpm that the CTV seems to allow.
