Default The Beast. Safari Review



Its been 17 mths since we are having this Beast at home.

Oh what a wonderful car.

We've clocked 13500 kms on it so far,

We are a family of 6 adults and 1 kid, this has been a true family mover for us on our long distance holidays.

Thanks to this we've stopped using the Services of the Travel agency.

Earlier we used to have our trips in a tempo traveller. This car changed the whole dimension of our holiday.

The Beast is still maintained the same way it came out of the show room.

People talk about niggles in this car.

Mine are here to list.
1) Power steering hose had a light leak,- Replaced within 25 mins at Manipal under warranty.
2) Clutch was hard-Replaced within 1 hr at Manipal, under warranty.

17 mths and this is what i've been through.

ICE done on the beast are:

1) Stripped out the the original Speakers and went in for
a) Front row-MBQuart Components and tweeters.
b) Mid row - MB Quart Speakes
c) Rear - MB Quart 12 inch Sub woofer

2) Used a Sony 4 channel amp.
3) Ducked out the original HU to the M-800 and added Sony DVD 2000 Series.
4) Head rest monitors are on the way from Xenos(pricol)

TYRES:--Got rid of the Tube type and went in for the same size and make Bridgestone Tubeless.
