    Ambulance box weight?

    Can anyone tell me the weight of an ambulance box? If you know the weight of an empty box with nothing in it that would be useful too. Thanks!

    Fuso FE or Isuzu NPR 4x4 conversion: Basic research.

    Hello, I am curious if anyone has compared the spring perch spacing between a Fuso FE or a Isuzu NPR and a Ford F350 truck? Are they close? EarthCrusier is using Dynatrak axles to do their FE to 4x4 conversion so these axles could be purchased but I am curious if Ford 1 ton axles could be used...

    Super Single wheels available?

    Does anyone know of any Super Single 17" wheels, a set of five for a Fuso FG, that are available in the US? Earthcrusier has none available, All Terrain Warrior says 5 or 6 months to get some imported and delivered, and Fusooffroad.som has none in stock as well. Any place else to check?

    Since I check this 4wd van thread first when I hit Expo, I thought I'd point out my thread over on the Completed Adventures and Events forum for other 4wd van fans: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/79360-Central-Washington-wanderings?highlight=

    Central Washington wanderings

    Spent three days last weekend with T.Low wandering around the Winthrop, Twisp, and Banks Lake areas in Central Washington. Great to get away and see some new ground. Didn't make it over the pass on NF-4330 to Lake Chelan due to snow, but had plenty of other roads to explore to keep busy and...

    Ghettobego spotted? (WA Hwy 14 and 197 intersection)

    Was that you at the intersection of WA Hwy 14 and Hwy 197 last weekend?

    Warn hub servicing?

    Hi, I have Warn locking hubs on the front on the Sportsmobile. The right one has gotten harder to lock as time goes on. Last time I used it I had to tap it into the lock position with a socket held in my gloved hand. I know, a real hi-tech solution... So, obviously, they need maintenance. But...
