    My fg84 Build, ironing out issues & new questions.

    Tried to, as I had to get a new plate from the engineer for change of seating, it was going to be no extra to change the wheel setup on the plate either, but the engineer said the same thing, Goanna tracks have done testing but have not done blue plate, This did piss me off to be honest, It cost...

    My fg84 Build, ironing out issues & new questions.

    The measurements and closer pics, I can get for you when im at the workshop next, (couple of days) unless whatcharterboat knows the measurements off the top of his head. The crawl through was in place when I got the vehicle, so its an ATW installation, Great design, unclamps from the cab to...

    My fg84 Build, ironing out issues & new questions.

    Personal preference, we still have 2 trucks at our workshop running the ATW super singles, They are great wheels. Basically for me, the load rating does not outweigh the comfort/size/aesthetic of the dynapro MT's, my cabinetry fit-out was built with ultra light ply, the same stuff we use in VW...

It's probably going to get put lower on my...

    My fg84 Build, ironing out issues & new questions.

    Thanks mate I'm really happy with it, it's somewhat simple with plenty of room to customise in the future. Yeah I plan to pull the air con condenser covers off and check how everything is sitting after this trip. Haven't looked into pricing of a ATW winch bar but have looked into the runva...

    My fg84 Build, ironing out issues & new questions.

    I thought you might have all of the answers, this is basically everything I was unsure of, and you covered it all thankyou, if older transfer cases do not fit, then yep I agree, the odds of finding a reconditioned/wrecker FGB71 dual range case are lotto odds. Looks like having Fuso do the...

    My fg84 Build, ironing out issues & new questions.

    Yeah I'm south of the river in Perth, what did it cost you if you don't mind me asking? And have you noticed any change in economy so far?

    I have built stage 1 of my truck now, and done a 3400km return trip to gnaraloo warroora and exmouth for a kite surfing trip with friends and my brother who has an imported Japanese 4x4 canter motorhome. The trip was great the truck impressed the hell out of me and gave me a good idea of things...

    Audio guru help needed

    Hi all I am having a problem, I am mid build on my 4x4 fuso camper. I have allowed for a second head unit in the rear but I have only allowed space in the switch panel/cabinet for a single din stereo head unit, and it seems no one in any audio shops can find me a simple bluetooth head unit that...
