    And in the "I think this might be overkill" department...

    Heh. Remember that Oshkosh 8x8 that was converted into a camper? I wonder where that's parked now?

    1998 Fuso FG Camper Build

    Unique builds are always nice to see, as long as they're done well. Looks like you succeeded with this one. Congrats. 👍 What kind of finish did you use to protect the exterior?

    1998 Stewart & Stevenson M1088 Armored 6x6 Semi Tractor Truck

    Driver: "get a shovel" Co-driver: "I'm not the one that got us stuck, why don't you get a shovel yourself?" It's perfectly set up for a fifth wheel, I vote Mog should get it and hook up that toy hauler he's always wanted - one that'll fit the Power Wagon/GZL.

    Dura Fuso? Fuso Max?... Major 2.0 drive train update to an iconic build

    Doing anything with the suspension like Rebel did?

    DURAMAX Fuso FG!! - the new option?!

    Yeah, those 2.8's disappeared pretty rapidly, didn't they? I think they made sense in the smaller rigs, but those FUSO trucks will run about 7 tons fully loaded. There's no replacement for displacement.

    DURAMAX Fuso FG!! - the new option?!

    I'd rather have a Cummins in it, but anything is an upgrade over that POS Mitsu/MB/Fiasco abortion of a drivetrain. It's still gonna ride like crap though. :ROFLMAO:

    1977 Volvo TBG1313 6x6 Camper Conversion

    Thanks for that heads-up, Jim. I'm still researching TGB vs Pinz, lol. I'll be watching this one to see where it goes.

    Is there a cure for the bounciness of the FG?

    Not necessarily. Shocks/springs/stops/geometry all needs to be tied together. Modifying only a single part at a time will have you chasing your tail and is a money pit. I had parabolics on mine, Radflo shocks, Timbren stops - and it still rode hard. Before I sold it, I was considering dumping...

    That is a beautiful build...and I'm taking notes. Plus I NEED that snorkel. Not a want. A NEED.

    Best Camper Shells

    Another thing that comes to mind is: are you looking for a Callen due to the steel frames and durability? Or for another reason? One thing I will say about the Callen units (but I've had a grand total of two for a sample size), is the wiring is something that you should plan on going through...

    Best Camper Shells

    I can't recall the name right now, but when I was looking around I found a place in Idaho that did a very similar design to the Callen. Same steel frame, insulation, etc. Maybe that'll give you a lead. I did manage to eventually find a used Callen, so they're out there. Concentrate your search...

    EarthCruiser Closing Doors

    One factor was Mitsu taking the 4x4 FUSO off the market, but another part of that equation was that early iterations of the drivetrain were absolute crap and very high maintenance, along with poor reliability. It sucks for EC since the forward control medium duty 4x4 chassis availability in the...
