Ford Ranger @ Ford Road Show 18-22 April - City Mall, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah MALAYSIA

Today, I went to Ford Ranger Roadshow City Mall Kota Kinabalu to check for the New Ford Ranger 3.2L. The Ford road show which will end on April, 22 is not only displaying the New Ranger but also other models such as Ford Fiesta. New Ranger as explained by the sales representative is not yet available and will be launched end of June, thus anyone interested will get their Ranger after 3-6 months after June.

The new Ranger is definitely looks larger than the previous models. It seems  similar or slightly bigger in dimension with the Hilux 3.0G but heavier in gross weight, 3200kg compared to 2780kg (Hilux 3.0G) and 2930kg (Triton 3.2L). Anyway, I don't know how to compare those double cabs because I never had any of them. I just like to take photos and share some of them for interested folks out there. The only I know are they looks the same, all are double cab vehicles and carry things in the rear bed, but people may compare their power, interior/exterior, warranty, service, fuel consumption and so on. Let the experts do that.

Here are some photos of the Malaysian edition of the new Ranger.

Travel 1: KK-Kota Belud-Kundasang

Training.. training.. modify code, extract data, data cleaning, transformation, discretize, write paper.. report.. etc, argh I need an escape for a while. Actually, while I am here at Sabah, I would like to visit all major towns via different route with any possible means of transport, what else.. my wira lah. This is my first mission from: 1. KK-Kota Belud-Kundasang 2. KK-Tambunan-Ranau-Kundasang 3. KK-Kota Belud-Kota Marudu-Kudat-Tip of Sabah-Kundasang 4. KK-Tambunan-Keningau-Tenom-Sipitang-Beaufort-KK 5. KK-Kota Marudu-Pitas-Beluran-Telupid-Ranau-Kundasang 6. KK-Tambunan-Keningau-Sook-Nabawan-Kalabakan-Tawau-Samporna-Sandakan-Telupid-Ranau-Kundasang Mission number 5 and 6 should be the last because the road may be not suitable for my wira.. hehe. In this journey, the road is easy from KK to Kota Belud but a little bit steep from Kota Belud Ranau-Tuaran junction via Jalan Ranau Bypass. The scenery is simply amazing and beautiful with Kinabalu in the background, but too

How to go to Kundasang?

First of all, thank you for arriving into my blog. Whether you will arrive in Kota Kinabalu by an airplane (Terminal 1 or Terminal 2), sea or land, I would like to welcome you to Sabah Below the Wind and also welcome to Kundasang, the home for Sabah vegetables and Mount Kinabalu. I know my page is not really informative but hopefully can benefit to you. My blog receives quite many references from search engines looking for "Kundasang map", "peta kundasang", "how to go to Kundasang from KK" and some other similar keywords. Thus, I will try as possible to briefly explain how to go to Kundasang from Kota Kinabalu. It’s a bit sad actually that Sabah’s public transport is not yet fully developed to integrate all important destinations at the moment. However, I’m hoping that the Sabah Government will work out on this issue as soon as possible to provide better public transport links to popular destinations especially Kundasang. Normally, when friends ask

DIY - Hyundai Inokom Atos Starter Removal

I replaced my Suzuki Jimny SJ410 starter sometime ago and it is quite easy because plenty of space in SJ410 engine bay. However, the Atos compact engine bay is really challenging for starter removal. Actually, a hard start had happened to Atos since few months and recently getting worse. Service centre diagnosed as starter problem. The battery is new but very hard to start especially after turned off the engine and need to wait for few minutes then the Atos can be started with two or three key turn. It is very annoying when turning off the engine while filling fuel at petrol station.  Wifey asked at service centre the new starter, guess how much.. RM1K++.. matai.. crazy expensive. Alternatively, have to go for third party starter and looking around Inanam, most of the car parts shops do not have Atos starter. Besides, I don't really know which shops have this starter. Finally, I asked the regular shop at Tamparuli and need to order (no stock already) with price is about RM200+
