One factor was Mitsu taking the 4x4 FUSO off the market, but another part of that equation was that early iterations of the drivetrain were absolute crap and very high maintenance, along with poor reliability. It sucks for EC since the forward control medium duty 4x4 chassis availability in the...

Yep, the owner's list has been blowing up with that news. Too bad, they're pretty good rigs. Not without issues, but then...same with everything.

Yep, SkiFreak sums it up. Basically these trucks are designed to have their suspension working best when the truck is fully loaded. Note also that they're a medium duty commercial truck designed for city streets, driver comfort is secondary to efficiency and load capacity/size. If you're...

An anvil? *scrambles off to update packing list*

Eh, I've upgraded from that one, mog. Didn't have enough space. Here's a pic of the latest support/logistics I use, but it's already packed to the gills. I might have to use two on trips that are more than a couple of weeks.

Nice catch. I wish....but still holding out.

Best of luck, enjoy the process!
