This is a old mock image we did a few years ago i came across it again today. We have direct fitted the campers to the chassis in real life on our old work truck to test it out, no issues. It did have a pass through, bit of pain to get through but it was there.. The plan is to have all three...

Greetings We started with a 16`s wheel with the FUSO . The single biggest reason we did not start with the Isuzu was there brake drums a larger diameter (Fuso is wider - roughly the same friction surface area) than the FUSO and can not accommodate a 16 inch wheel. At the time the most common...

Quick chime in here - all of the fist Ec`s we made where on Michelin XZL ( ~37 ) . With our need as a second stage manufacture passing the brake test ( in particular created fault of no vacuum assist ) was the most difficult. That much of an increase in rolling mass was noticeable without vacuum...

Absolutely yes. We are supplying a range of structurally complete EarthCruiser houses that are unique to EarthCruiser. Immediate focus is MOD slide in campers ( we built our first one in 2017) and the Terranova, 4x4 upfit for Isuzu and Fuso is also available. In addition to the "houses" we...

If the moderators will indulge me ( we have posted same info in a separate thread) this is what we are up to. We have always been fairly heavy on engineering, we have never built one of products. Since the products are moulded ( in same cases one piece) makes them infinitely repeatable. In...

EarthCruiser update - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Greetings fellow travelers and adventurers, We know it’s been quiet—and some thought we were gone. We’re not. In fact, we’re just getting started again. Our tough...

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...
