The fiberglass box was finished (6 months late) right before Christmas. The Fiberglass builder I hired for the job was unable to put in as many hours as was first projected, stalling the project. Turning a 3 months job into a 9 months one.
Since, I worked restlessly to reach my goal of...
Fuso 2013
I just did the adjustment on my 2013 Fuso. It was the same mechanism. I am unsure about the older generations, from the pictures it looks to be on the driver side. On mine it is on the passenger side.
Thank you for the information. I asked the dealer a few weeks back, I was told this...
I called Robond, having difficulty finding the part. The line of product is being sold, and they aren't manufacturing them at the moment. All dealers I could find were out of stock.
I do not know specifically about the Fuso, but many air bag systems have a backup power supply, usually a capacitor. In such cases, disconnecting the battery will not be enough. you need to wait for it loose its power before going to work. The required time vary from system to system.
I found...
I installed my ATW parabolics a few weeks ago and I can report about the same thing. Way smoother, but lifted me higher than expected. I hope the added weight of the camper will bring it down a little, as it might cause me headaches when comes the time to fit in a shipping container.

I will be at the expo, unfortunately not with my Fuso. I certainly hope to be at Overland Expo East and Vermont Overland Rally in October. I hope to see some of you at the Expo.
Any idea when you will be moving from the KOA to the Expo?
On the page for registration http://fusotechinfo.com/Order1.asp It states: "The information contained on this website currently pertains to the 2008 model year FE and FG Fuso models only."
Not sure...Dealers here (Quebec) call them either FG140 FG4X4. Here is the page of my dealer...
Yep, first hand...and with bruises and a sore wrist to account for it. A drill kicked, flipped 270° and smashed my friend's hand between the drill handle and the barb fitting. All for a hole being drilled in the wrong spot due to miscommunication. Your 900$US is a 1300$CA.
It is a 2003 FG140
Final drive ratio is the optional 5.714
I am unsure what you mean by that. It was delivered by one dealer in Quebec City in October, now serviced by another dealer in Montreal.
It was my general understanding too, I was under the feeling that as much as the tech at the dealership is knowledgeable, a FG140 in the city is not usual to them, and even less on 37" tires.
What is the link to that? The TSB's are also there? I will definitely go and get the latest versions.
Yes it is the unit mounted on top of the DEF tank. I am fully aware that the barb fitting is fragile...broke it...replaced the unit...and the new one is the defective one being swapped at the dealer. There is no body mounted yet on top of the subframe.
The tires were recommended by Kym Bolton...
First experience with DEF and DPF systems...the truck is at less than 600km and already I am at the dealer with issues. Ended up in limp mode, unable to get out of it even after a manual regeneration, needed to be towed. Dealer replaced the pump unit (which also includes sensors), a 1100$CA...
Everything under the camper is basically done now:
Sub-frame and spring mount anchor points done, and with all the side lock boxes. Including the 24" scissor stairs.
Constant duty compressor, with pneumatic lines going to each wheel hubs, to connect all 4 tires to one central control box...
I found that you used 150mm long springs (which is about 6").
What I am trying to find out is what diameter, how many of them?, what Max load, Spring constant and max compressed size?
Those springs have really been giving me headaches.
The build is underway. I stripped the interior to install Hushmat (competitor of Dynamat), which will provide better insulation, bring the vibrations down and offer better sound proofing of the cab.
I covered most of the front, inside the doors metal and plastic panels, full floor, back wall and...
