2007 FG140, 89k miles, pre DEF, 10,000lbs. During the pandemic I got bored, took the truck to the local exhaust shop, took out the crusty flex pipe and the (seemingly 100lb) giant muffler in favor of a 3” straight pipe exiting between the fuel tank and rear tire w/ a downward turn. I had...

In my hood. I can take a gander if you need me to; looks purdy clean though.......nice pint of dark beer will suffice... :) https://seattle.craigslist.org/skc/cto/d/renton-mitsubishi-fuso-fg-4wd/7108972144.html

I crashed my 2007 FG140 back in December due to a catastrophic failure of my LF 37" Hankook tire (A wild ride, bouncing off jersey barriers on both sides of the freeway despite having both hands on the wheel when it happened.) Primary damage was to the left door, headlight + panel and the...

Was tiddling along last night on a 2 lane freeway at about 60mph when my left front tire (Hankook 37x12.50x17) had a catastrophic failure. The event that ensued was pretty violent. My initial thought was that someone had hit me in the right rear. The truck veered violently to the right. The...

Well, I know what to do with it... I'm wondering about the spacing of the cuts.....Has anyone siped their Hankooks (or any other singles?) I'd appreciate a report and think it would benefit others.... Meanwhile I'm going to blather on about what little I know.... I love my super singles and...

My FG is my daily driver (beats my Tundra mileage handily and is easier to work on) and so I don't really abuse it off road as some do. Originally, I was going to get a Unimog but decided I didn't need that much capability. I just toodle around some forest service roads, cross a few fields...

Well it was only about 10 months and about 12k miles (all onroad) when I noticed that one of my rear Rancho 9000s was leaking oil, so I decided to stomp on my brakes while coming to a stop and watch the truck bounce up and down 2x times before settling......So much for those..... Ride quality...

In Washington State, USA, my '07 FG140 in flatbed configuration is currently insured by Progressive. I have inquired with many other insurers to no avail. Recently someone posted that they had a small claim w/ Progressive and their policy was canceled shortly thereafter. On a lark I called...

Consider on the vehicle balancing which will balance the whole assembly including your drums and hubs/spindles etc. Now considered obsolete, there are a few shops out there that still offer this service but it's tough to find them. I worked in Automotive for years and even used to sell...

New bumper completed by Gunderson Speed Shop (Maple Valley WA). They maintain specs and template if anyone should want one. $2 grand even, including powdercoating. ...couple of the design elements were the Frenched 4" lights, a 2" receiver, pair of tow eyes (shackles not pictured) w/ smaller...

Has anyone delved into this? We spend all this time and money trying to create a bearable ride.....air seats, shocks, Timbren bump stops, high aspect ratio tires, $7000 parabolic suspensions, more jewelry for the wife etc. Hell, I even had a custom laminated (several layers/densities) foam...

Update Sept. 11, 2017....Spoke with Andre at Stockton today. He has been in contact w/ a new supplier for his "barrels" (rim material)....his current rim stock thickness is .15xx," normally used on 3/4 ton trucks....not sufficient for the FG needs. He wants his new supplier to provide him with...

Bumper in progress...a few more welds and cleanup and it's off to powdercoating.....Set up for 2 pairs of Rigid Industries LED lights (Dually D2XL in hyperspot and driving patterns), I've included the 2 inch hoop (which will get 2 more upright stanchions), monster tow hook eyes w/ small tabs...

Got a new FG140 this Summer to replace my Tundra and currently have a policy through a Progressive Commercial policy, $1439/ annually (w/ a spotless driving record). I use it as a daily driver. All my pals laugh at me but my FG is 4 feet shorter, skinnier than my Tundra, gets substantially...

Has anyone ever found the live wire for the van box lighting? I have a 2007 FG that has lived it's life w/ a flatbed (no cargo lighting installed); the factory switch on the left, lower dash is live. I've looked at the wiring diagram and called several dealers who all say the wire (allegedly...

RE: 2007 FG 140: What can we do to improve the interior comforts of the FG (aside from seats, window tint, insulation etc.)? In particular, I'm referring to the electrics and trinket storage...I figure I need at least 3-4 12volt plug ins (gps, phone chargers, dash cam etc.) in addition to...

Commissioned a fabricator in the Seattle area to build me a new bumper for my '07 FG140. We're using 1/8" steel and opted for a tilting brushguard to mount lights and protect the headlights. I ruled out the fixed/angled brushguard because some of the Aussies said that the angled ones tend to...

Howdy Y'all!.... New member in Seattle (please let me know if I'm doing this right)...Just bought me a 2007 Jupiter Green Fuso FG140 w/ 59k miles, short (109") wheelbase. This rig saw very light duty in the area and is equipped w/ a straight steel bed w/ a dump cylinder. I'm not a rich guy...
