What I meant to say was I thought I read that when a refer box was used for a habit, presumably with vents, windows, doors, AC, heat, etc, that their were condensation issues. I don't know why this would be the case or maybe I was misunderstanding. To me an insulated box is an insulated box...

I did already buy them and there won't be a camper on the back for a while, probably long enough for me to wear these out and then in the future buy the Toyos or Nitto's.

Surprised after 20 years these were still in the glovebox.

2005 FG140. Load index on their site is listed at 121 with a single max load of 3195 pounds. See how these work out during my build while I am still lightly loaded and if I need/should upgrade to the Toyos or Nittos I will. I can see where going to singles in the rear the load index will be...

Gator70, I was also thinking about going with an insulated refrigerated truck box, but I read these can have issues with inside condensation when in a hot climate and using AC. Not sure why this would be the case if proper ventilation was incorporated, but definitely an inexpensive way to get a...

It is kind of expected given these wheels are very limited production parts made for a very limited market and they need to come from Australia and are heavy, so shipping isn't cheap. Consider they were shipped from Australia to Alberta Canada and then all the way from Alberta to me on the other...

I know for certain I just paid the most I have ever spent for wheels. Just purchased 4 super single wheels from Fuso Offroad. $3,909.00 for 4, I know, I need 5, but for now 4 will have to do. This includes the lug nuts, shipping to the east coast and $1,000.00 was just for the tariffs alone...

New guy into my Fuso build and like a lot of people I am making the switch to super single wheels and tires. I read that a good number of you recommend the Toyo M/T. I did some searching on Tire Rack and they only offer 1 tire in load range F, which is a 12-ply tire, and that is the BFG All...

And in the US I have the same issue with ordering Range Rover, Volkswagen and Mercedes parts that have to come from the UK, Germany or even Australia, just part of life when dealing with foreign vehicles I guess. The one thing I have found about aftermarket parts from Australia is they seem to...

First order of business will be all new fluids, filters, belts and any hoses that may or may not look suspect. Then the chassis will get steam cleaned and any rust taken care of. Any surface rust will be treated with Mar-Hyde rust converter and then painted. Because the truck was used to plow I...

Well, here I go. Not new to off-road vehicles or adventure with past vehicle being Landcruisers, a Range Rover Classic, Land Rover Discovery, and a VW Vanagon Westfalia Syncro, but this is a big step up. The Fuso is a 2005 FG140 with 195,000 miles. New clutch and resurfaced flywheel 45,000...
