Greetings All Thanks for bringing this up, sincerely appreciated. The HUMMER EV we did with GMC ( we were pretty chuffed to get to work with the big kids) a marketing test case for GMC and terrific experience for our crew. I can not speak highly enough of the teams from GMC, they were terrific...

Driver walk away with no injuries, thats the main thing. There was no one in passenger seat. No obvious damage to camper, roof goes up down, all systems completely functional. Small crack where the scrub hit the awning cover. New cab and back on the road. images from Casey Ladell utube.

Makes tons of sense, i think we are going to see much more consolidation in many industries. Hino is a small but solid player in the USA. So who knows.

FUSO HQ in Japan unexpectedly and a surprise to pretty much everyone decided to cancel the FUSO FG 4x4 diesel option for United States market in 2015/16. For us it would have been lights out and game over. It was critical for us as it was the only platform we had to built our overland vehicles...

I would appreciate it if you mention you are speaking for yourself on this particular subject. That very nice red truck you have pictured (thank you) I know a little about - my company in the United States engineered, built and tested (and continue to do so) it and many others to meet ALL -...

Oh yes. This is probably the best part of how we do things now. Flatbed for the MOD400 is drawn and tooling mostly done. I am not sure we will have a 300, medium trucks do struggle to carry the weight after a decent tray is fitted. Couple more fun things in the pipeline to.

We have made hundreds of them, for EarthCruiser products. One offs builds are not the same as production, two completely different animales. Putting the financial and time investment aside what professional vehicle builders design for there commercial application is not the same as home DIY...

Greeting All We had to discontinue production in 2022 simply because, at the time, we couldn’t meet demand with the manufacturing and supply chain operations we had in Bend. But a lot has changed over the past 12 months. The MOD is now making a comeback — and will be available through select...

I think your right, the cost benefit numbers don`t add up.

The smart people can chip in any time .... but for now Il have a crack. Broadly speaking a motor run backwards is a generator. So if it is there anyway why not put it to work and get some advantage of that mass while gravity does what it does.? Not so much the use of power as it is the...

ATW (I know them very well they make superb products, there not far from my home in Australia) has for many years created their own suspension packages for the FUSO/ISUZU factory 4x4 trucks . A very different vehicle to I think you are considering purchasing/selling? BEFORE spending your or...

I have no "suggestions" for you, whoever built the 4x4 system for on road use tested the system as supplied would they not?

This does not look like a response from GM. Building vehicles people travel in or around on or off the road is a responsibility to be taken seriously. No short cuts.

The real reason we carry them

I have been meaning to get around and put a electric actuator on our truck. Fuso and Isuzu sell in left and right hand drive countries. That means the lock and lifting mechanism is mirrored on the cab and in turn the mounting holes and reinforcement for said mechanism - the point? It is not...
