Hello everyone, I am the owner of a Beijing Tuda car, born in the 1980s! I have liked everything about cars since I was a child. There are a lot of car toys, models, assembly, remote control, and so on. Because my grandfather is a revolutionary cadre, the family has always had a car after retirement, so I was exposed to cars much earlier than children of the same age.
Whenever I sit and play in the cab, I imagine the scene of driving when I grow up. So when I just turned 18, I couldn’t wait to take the driving test to get a driver’s license during the summer vacation.
After I grew up, I kept reading car magazines and browsing car websites when I had nothing to do. I can basically tell the model and performance characteristics of every car on the street. I believe many boys are the same as me.
Although I have always had a soft spot for cars, I first developed a strong interest in photography. I bought several bodies and lenses, took photography classes, and obtained a photographer’s qualification certificate.
But the car I owned at that time was just an ordinary three-phase car. At that time, I didn’t have any concept of off-road, and I felt that it had nothing to do with me.
On weekdays, I would drive a car and take a camera to go outing in the countryside, and use the lens to record the magnificent Great Wall of the motherland, the starry sky deep in the grassland at night, or spend an afternoon in the waterfowl area of the zoo. Even in the winter when there is no trace of snowfall, in the bare city, the lens will be used to record the momentary dappled sunshine and shadow through the branches.
Even I believe that I am a standard literary youth. But since the night when I drove an urban SUV into Mentougou, everything changed drastically.
Speaking of this, I would like to say a few more words. At the end of that night, there was rain, the tires slipped severely, and the chassis was low. Finally, when it got dark, I had to abandon the car. The horse wrangler of a friend escaped and waited for the road conditions the next day. Only when it got better did it come out.
Yixiantian is a famous off-road trail in the suburbs of Beijing. Due to the heavy rain the year before last, there was flooding inside and people died. Recalling that I also went in in the rain that night, and came out safely, God blessed me.
Tuda is already my third hard-core off-road vehicle. The first one is 2.4 Paladin. It accompanied me through the primary stage of off-road, worked hard and never dropped the chain. However, following me has also suffered a lot. People have to pay a certain price from a novice to a certain amount of experience, so they have been played with various problems. Before Beijing introduced the country 1 and 2 emission restriction policies, I had no choice but to be reluctant to sell. Lost.
The second is the Paladin, with a displacement of 3.3, which was later converted into a manual transmission, and various accessories for strengthening competition. I named him Xiao Erhei, and he has been driving many times in the deserts of Kubuqi, Tengger, Ulan Buhe, Badain Jaran, etc., and his performance is still excellent, and he is always strong.
Closer to home! At present, the first stage of modification has been completed, which is roughly as follows:
Elevation Kit: Sand Lizard Nitrogen Shock Absorber, Rhino Spring, Rear Thrust Rod, Reinforced Upper Arm, Rear Axle Compression Limit, Brake Oil Pipe Extension, Small Connecting Rod Downward Assembly;
Tire hub: BFGoodrich KO2, 265.65.17, Yavandi spinning hub;
Interior modification: water cup holder for co-pilot, Caska driving recorder, Kejunda 9-inch large-screen navigation, car platform 2730;
Protection modification: aluminum-magnesium alloy guard plate, unicorn side step, rear trailer bar;
Performance modification: strengthen ignition, update computer, front axle differential lock.
This was taken when I just picked up the car and came back, it’s a big plain car! However, the modification plan has been basically determined before buying the car, and some parts are even in place, just waiting for the owner! Settling down and checking the car is done, or the temporary license plate has already started to be modified! !
Su Cheqian face~~~
On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Beijing was still in unmanned mode. I quickly got the driving book in the morning, and started refitting when I returned to the repair shop in the afternoon! Such a fast modification, this record is not good~~~ Ha ha! Replace the front grille with the imported sand and gravel gear of the Navara model.
The rear replacement strengthens the ignition, improves power, and reduces fuel consumption! The boss said to put it on and try it, if you don’t like it, you can take it off, and test it for free! It really feels like the effect is obvious~~~Absolutely good stuff!
My car is in place, and the car stickers from the official Beijing brigade just arrived! Thanks for the organization~

Installing the front axle differential lock is an absolute modification category, and the front axle needs to be removed first! The meaning of installing a front lock is to better protect the car body and save engine power, not just to find a big slope to show off its performance! In extreme situations, having a front lock will make you safer and more at ease.
No chassis photos of the front axle! You can clearly see the black oil pan!

Tangshan Aite’s differential lock is a major domestic manufacturer of precision instruments. The front axle of Tuda is the same as that of Navarra. It has been installed in large quantities on Navarra. The test is stable, and the electronic control starts instantly!
The installation is also convenient~~Skilled workers can complete it in about 2 hours. Adjust the gap, the test is successful and you can load the car!
This is the front axle differential of the original Tuda car that was removed. It feels the same as the old Paladin.
Differentials and differential locks are different things and function differently. I won’t say much about the principle here, you can Baidu yourself, many people are easy to confuse!
Equipped to install the guard plate, the black iron rod in the picture is the rear guard plate strengthening bracket~~~top it on the beam and fix it with screws!
This is the reinforcement bracket for the front fender. The original fender was lifted up and used for the simple reason that it is too thin. This type of guard plate bracket is the latest design, the black iron rod is fixed to the beam, and the guard plate under the combination ensures the strength.
The effect after the rear guard plate is installed~~~
The thickness of the shield is ok! There is also a new design for the raised corners~
The thickness and material of the guard plate determine the overall quality of the guard plate! Please pay attention to the front reinforcement bracket, which is perfectly combined with the girder and guard plate! Guaranteed strength~~~ Without this, in fact, your front guard is very fragile.
Aluminum-magnesium alloy material, expensive! Some holes are opened on the opposite side, which is also good for heat dissipation considerations. This is currently the highest guard plate!
Look at the effect from the back to the front~
After the equipment is installed, the drag bar and lock~ The boss will do the work for me personally! Hahaha~
This is the original rear bumper that was removed. It’s actually very light~
Boss Lu, work hard! Otherwise, no lunch is allowed~
Built-in rear drag bar~
Built-in rear drag bar~
I ate lunch at the repair shop, the big lazy dragon made by the master~ with millet porridge, pickles, delicious!
During the installation of the rear drag bar, the rear enclosure needs a saw cut, and the winger is cleverly protected with a rubber strip! Both beautiful and practical~
It’s okay~ It looks like the original one! Praise for the meticulousness of the boss and the carefulness of the workers!
Effect picture after installation~~
The tiger head hook is made of ordinary iron, small size. I like to look a little more delicate, the black and white body is also more matching, and the price is relatively cheap!
This is the original rear tow hook that was removed~~~
I haven’t changed it yet, I can’t wait, I will drive it out and try it on the weekend! There was a shout in the Beijing group~~~About 7 friends~~~ This is a photo taken in the big stone in the back city! It’s all snow~~
Deep pits + cross axles + snow on the mountain road, Tuda low-speed four-wheel drive + rear lock can easily go up! I didn’t open the front lock~~~The road conditions are not necessary~~~ I also deliberately wanted to try the performance of the original car’s four-wheel drive system.
It is still a plain tire, without a rise, and the Tuda has a long wheelbase, and some places are slightly underpinned! Fortunately, the guard plate was installed, and my car was not injured~ Some friends in the same company collapsed on the side!
The road down the mountain is full of snow, driving down a little bit, the car body is a little tilted, and novices will feel extremely exciting!
Satisfied with the test drive on the weekend, wash the car and continue to refit! ! !
As a souvenir of the plain car, after changing the tire, it is estimated that it will never come back again~ Let’s commemorate it!
The vehicle machine inspection certificate prepared for Tuda has also been issued. The car has not been bought yet, and the machine has already been inspected! Hehe~ The time difference is just right!
The long-awaited BFGoodrich KO2 was mentioned by Yunliang, thanks to Tuda rider Dama Monkey for the information.
Ready to install the tire hub ~~~! Dimensions, 265.65.17, BFGoodrich KO2, shipped in the 41st week of 2018~
It was knocked on a big rock, thanks to the protection of the guard plate, the inside is exactly the position of the oil pan!
A little deformation, not a big problem, don’t worry about it! The strength and thickness ensure the safety of the site.
By the way, I also changed the engine oil~~This oil is the best engine oil I have ever used~~How good is it? It feels different when you lift the brake~~ It’s not an exaggeration at all, the price is expensive! But once every 10,000 kilometers is maintained, the high cost performance is reflected!
4.5-4.8L each time, QR25de engine, valve steel cover and piston are different from the old 25, and there will be a little more oil than the old 25!
Tire hub equipment installation~~~!
Yavandi spinning, aluminum alloy lightweight wheels! 17 inches, ET value is positive 10, when I saw this wheel for the first time on the Navarra in the Lumeng modification shop, I decided that my Tuda must use this wheel~~~ Repeatedly told Boss Lu to keep it for me! !
Ready to install the tire hub ~~~! Dimensions, 265.65.17, BFGoodrich KO2, shipped in the 41st week of 2018~
The original car’s high-end tire pressure sensor is removed and placed behind the new wheel hub valve core! In this way, after changing the wheel hub, the tire pressure detection is still normal~~!
The effect after installing it is not bad~~~!
Removed the original front shock absorber~~!
A full set of lifting kit~! Sand lizard nitrogen shock absorber, Rhino spring, rear thrust rod, reinforced upper arm, rear axle compression limit, brake oil pipe extension piece, small connecting rod down-moving component.
A new model with a reinforced upper arm and increased pull-down stroke!
Brake hose extension piece
Small connecting rod moving down component
The final makeover is ready!
Arm swing on the original car~!
Beijing Lumeng modification is also my friend for many years! Go off-road together, grow together, and play together~~~!
Back spring~~!
The side pedals of the original car were a bit low, so they were replaced together~!
Clean fenders~~~
Exquisite twisted tooth shock absorber~ I am a person who supports domestic products if I can support them~!

The rear shock absorber of the removed original car~ already leaked oil! Hehe~~~
Both are leaked, saying that many cars are like this! With this quality, there is no way! ~~Since it’s changed~ don’t worry! Save money for the manufacturer~~~
The installation effect diagram of the small connecting rod moving down component, really showy!
The installation effect of the brake oil pipe extension piece is even more coquettish! -2
This is also the lengthening of the connecting rod linking the rear axle~~~!

The side collapse installation is directly placed on the girder, which is much stronger than the original car! There are three fixed points in total~~~ The camera angle is limited, only two can be photographed!
The overall effect of raising the rear, strengthened rear thrust rod!

After raising the four-wheel alignment, I went to the most craftsman district master in Beijing~the most famous four-wheel alignment shop in the off-road circle in Beijing!
First test the tire pressure~
The workers are very patient~~~
Because of the rise, there will always be an internal horoscope, and it will take some time to debug~~~! !
After a lap of testing, it returned to the original car data~~~! I also give a thumbs up to Mr. Qu’s workers~~!
The first stage of refitting is complete. I haven’t figured out what to install on the front bumper. Here are some beautiful pictures-1
