People who like off-roading have a wild heart. They are willing to trek through mountains and rivers and gallop without boundaries. They are eager to challenge various road conditions and cross the limit, just to get the happiness brought by off-roading and reach the distance in their hearts. For those who yearn for wilderness and freedom, hard-core off-road vehicles with extremely strong passing capabilities are their sharp weapons for traveling far away.
Refitting can amplify the original advantages of the vehicle to an incomparable level, and through higher-performance configuration and richer equipment, the vehicle’s all-terrain adaptability and ability to escape from difficulties in extremely harsh environments can be strengthened, making the vehicle from the outside to the inside. Earth-shaking improvements and enhancements.
A qualified car already has the necessary driving ability, why bother to modify it? It is nothing more than the pursuit of the ultimate psychology and the spirit of self-transcendence. A car is an extension of a person and a symbol of the driver’s spirit. It makes the car taller, faster, wilder, and more powerful, which greatly meets the spiritual needs of human beings to pursue perfection and create the ultimate.
In order to achieve the expected modification effect, the basic quality of the vehicle itself is extremely critical. Only rough jade and muddy gold can be carefully studied and studied, and there is no room for modification and improvement in the stubborn stone and wasteland. Therefore, whether it has the potential for modification often becomes one of the criteria for judging the value of a car.
Dongfeng Nissan Tuda is a model with great modification potential
Tuda is positioned as an all-terrain off-road SUV, which can be called a 200,000-yuan-class “Little Tule”. Patrol is a classic hard-core off-road model of Nissan. Since its birth in 1951, it has become a representative model of global luxury hard-core off-road with its professional off-road performance and excellent product quality. High reputation. Tuda came to China with the image of “Little Tule”, shouldering the mission of promoting mass off-road, so it is equipped with non-load-bearing body, professional off-road suspension and all-terrain electronically controlled time-sharing four-wheel drive system and other enthusiast off-road configurations. Give Tuda the super off-road performance worthy of hard-core off-road vehicles, and also lay a solid foundation for Tuda’s modification.
In order to take into account urban use and bring users a more comfortable and convenient driving experience, Dongfeng Nissan launched the 2020 Tuda. The new model meets the National VI B emission standard, and the whole series is equipped with a TPMS tire pressure monitoring system as standard, which can monitor the tire pressure in real time and improve off-road safety. Some cars are equipped with intelligent technology configurations such as the Internet of Vehicles system, which adds more convenience and fun to travel. The official guide price of 169,800 yuan to 248,300 yuan occupies the market space of the mainstream auto market, is more in line with the needs of the masses, and is easy to be accepted by more people.
With Pajero, Prado and other hard-core off-road vehicles being discontinued or about to be discontinued, Tuda has increasingly become the choice of more and more off-road enthusiasts as the joint venture’s only real six hard-core SUV in China. Exploring the modification potential of Tuda has also become one of the joys of Tuda owners. Recently, three Tuda car owners have modified Tuda with their own characteristics according to their own preferences and the surrounding environmental characteristics.
Three conversion cases, covering the main off-road areas
The more extreme the modification, the more targeted it is, in order to be able to walk on the ground in a specific terrain. The refitting cases introduced this time have their own special refitting for the needs of mountain climbing, rainforest exploration and snow crossing, which can be called rock climbing version, rainforest version and snow version respectively.
For the sake of brevity, we divide all modifications into two parts: general modification and characteristic modification. The general modification is a modification common to the three versions, which is used to improve the trafficability, safety and appearance of the vehicle; the special modification is a modification for a special driving environment.
In terms of general modification, the three versions are equipped with shock absorbers, differential locks, winches, auxiliary fuel tanks, off-road bars, MR custom pedals, LED spotlights, etc., and the chassis has been strengthened.
The shock absorbers include ACE custom nitrogen coil shock absorbers and ACE custom nitrogen shock absorbers. The coiled shock absorber is derived from racing technology. It is a shock absorber that can adjust the height of the spring and the size of the damper. The electronically controlled front axle differential lock can separately control the power distribution between the two front wheels. When one drive axle is idling, it can quickly lock the differential, so that the two drive axles become rigidly connected, and redistribute the power to strengthen the vehicle. The ability to get out of trouble under extremely bad road conditions. The electric winch imported from the United States can provide more backup solutions when faced with extreme situations that may not be able to pass, and it also improves the rescue capability of other vehicles. The newly added front bumper, rear bumper, side bumper, guard plate and other facilities can improve the protection ability and passability of the vehicle, and also make the appearance more masculine and mighty. Customized pedals, roof or front bumper LED spotlights improve the vehicle’s all-weather adaptability and driving convenience, and also beautify the appearance.
In terms of characteristic modifications, the climbing version focuses on strengthening the suspension and chassis. By adding manganese steel ACE front upper control arm, ACE front lower control arm, ACE rear upper control arm, ACE rear lower control arm, ACE well-shaped beam and ACE horn, the strength and strength of the control arm are increased. travel, thereby improving stability and comfort when climbing rocks. In the chassis part, in addition to the general ACE small connecting rod, additional ACE upper and lower arm thrust rods and ACE custom front bumper lower guards are added to make the vehicle more stable and flexible, and effectively prevent the chassis from bumping or the penetration of foreign objects, maximizing protection Chassis components. The tires are upgraded to special mud tires for General MT5, and the wheels are changed from 18 inches to 17 inches for better grip and stability.
The approach angle of the Tuda rock climbing version is 44 degrees, the departure angle is 37 degrees, the ground clearance is 39 cm, and the wading depth is 1 meter. 180° no dead angle lighting, the irradiation distance is up to 400 meters. The powerful chassis lifting system, combined with the front and rear protective bars with super large approach angle and departure angle, give Tuda an amazing climbing ability. According to field experience, 70 to 80 centimeters high and nearly vertical soil slopes can be easily rolled up, which is enough for users to enjoy more full mountain off-road fun.
The other two versions are relatively simple. The rainforest version adds ACE custom-made high-position air intake pipes to increase the wading depth, and the tires are upgraded to BFGoodrich all-terrain tires to improve grip and cut resistance. The feature of tracked snow version is that the tires are replaced with track wheels. The main body is made of 6063 aluminum-magnesium alloy. The auxiliary wheels are made of plastic compression molding technology. It can reach 80 kilometers. Compared with traditional steel track wheels, it has less noise reduction, lighter weight, faster speed, and can protect the smooth road surface.
The approach angle of the Tuda Rainforest Edition is 36 degrees, the departure angle is 29 degrees, the ground clearance is 31 cm, and the wading depth is 1.3 meters. The excellent protection product design perfectly integrates the overall matching and powerful functionality, so that this version of Tuda can perfectly cope with 90% of China’s off-road scenes. In addition, it is also equipped with outdoor living appliances such as bicycles, gas stoves, and tents, which are very suitable for wild survival experience.
The snow version of Tuda, the raised chassis, the perfect adjustment of ACE shock absorbers, and the track wheels with a maximum speed of 80 kilometers per hour, can neither damage the paved road nor gallop on the ice and snow road. Driving such a behemoth to go skiing , will definitely gain a lot of amazing eyes. The only regret is that the use of this version is more restricted by seasons and regions, but if you are in the northeast, you can enjoy the fun of snow crossing for about half a year, which is not satisfactory.
The refitted Tuda has undergone earth-shaking changes from the inside to the outside. Not only is the appearance more powerful and domineering, it is unforgettable, and the blood is surging at the first sight, and the heroic spirit is bursting; the off-road performance is also more extraordinary, enough to satisfy off-road The most exciting imagination of lovers travels across the world, even if it is far away.
write on the back
The fully enclosed body, the use of high-strength steel and professional hard-core off-road configuration provide good basic conditions for Tuda’s modification, allowing Tuda to have a broad space for modification. According to their own off-road preferences, different users can carry out special modification on Tuda, so as to meet the diversified off-road needs and experience more fun of exploration and conquest.
The above three cases are demonstration modifications carried out by applying the current technology and products from the perspective of perfection as much as possible. In terms of practical application, each person’s specific situation is different, and can be tailored and modified according to their own conditions and needs, in order to achieve more effective improvement of product performance.
