    Frame height on late model Isuzu NPS

    The height is not as bad as first thought. I checked the spec sheets and the chassis height on the new straight NPS chassis is 950mm and the older 2006 step down version is 820mm so only 130mm difference. I went out to the Grays Auctions to have another look at the NPS300 for sale there and the...

    Frame height on late model Isuzu NPS

    Story of my life. Not many NPS's come onto the market already fitted with super singles and parabolics. They are the biggest expense after the cost of a truck. Some people must spend more on these two items than the value of their truck (before the body build that is). Now that I have...

    Fuso Canter versus Isuzu

    I agree the EGR is easily overcome but the DPF not so. The fire risk while travelling in spinifex country is one of our biggest concerns in any vehicle- an unplanned regen of the DPF could be catastrophic. Maybe if there were more fires caused by DPF vehicles they may consider exemptions for...

    Fuso Canter versus Isuzu

    After many years lurking in the background I keep coming back to this old thread. I am thinking about upgrading my work truck with a view to building a camper body for it. I have decided it will be an NPS300 but still debating whether I should go for a later model with DPF or an older model...

    Any hams here using DMR (digital mobile radio) units?

    A dual band MD2017 will give you a lot of options around town and out in the bush. When out of range of a repeater you can always use a Shark RF Openspot for accessing the Brandmeister network. Cheers
