Last year I was all excited to see some FUSO rigs and a grand total of one showed up. You can do better!

Might be a possibility we'll swing by, but don't know if the build will be done by then.

We'll just have to see.....

I was there with my Fuso last year and we will be there again this year. The Earthcruiser Flatbed was there as well so there was at least three that I know of. Hopefully it won't be quite so hot this year!

Hmmm...... We are going to be near there at about that time... Heading on a 6-8 week big loop-Tetons, Glacier, Banff, Vancouver, Olympic Peninsula, Oregon Coast, Crater Lake, Volcano National Park, and Home to Salt Lake.

Hey yabanja, you wouldn't happen to be going through Lewistown, MT would you?

Nope, too far east!! Besides, I really like the stock bumper(I know it's not super fancy. But weight is the enemy!)

Weight isn't a problem on my build......yet. Want a winch up there.

No trouble putting a winch up there without a bullbar and yes front end weight is a problem for all Canters due mainly to front suspension which affects ride. I put my winch on the rear and cabled to the front and my weight is evenly balance front to back.

That's My View,

I put air bags up front also, hoping they handle that problem but understand your concern, hmmm will think on it more. Don't have the space in the back for a winch, would have to hitch mount and leave it in a compartment, don't want to do that.

I hope to come this year in my new Fuso build. If not it will be in the C303.

Here are some pics I took at the NW Overland Rally last year:

I have seen a central mount winch on a Mog; how did you route the cable around the engine and ancilliaries to bring it out the front? Is it centered like a normal fairlead or offset due to the routing? I like the idea of having one bad *** winch to do everything instead of two medium winches. The only disadvantage there is now you don't have a backup.

Apologies for the hijack
