My bad that was the chassis sub frame, super singles, larger tires and winch mount, bumper,body with windows, doors and hatches included

Correct it is a 2012 FG140 4x4 Diesel is whatever their stock tank size is (you can find this online) . I am putting in a 70 Gallon Freshwater tank over the rear Axel. Truck with empty camper body and super singles weight was 6828kg with half a tank of fuel. Note the camper body was empty and i...

I noticed very little change with the super singles in MPG, the body added some for sure due to the shape, i cannot give exact figures as i have not calculated them but my dash says 15Litres/100KM - note that will be incorrect due to the wheel and tire dia change.

The Fuso chassis has a gooseneck up and over the transmission. In an effort to keep the center of gravity as low as possible we stepped the floor.

And Some More Pics

Few Truck pics as the build progresses, lots going on with the aim of having the truck road ready to head to the Baja in February and then up to Arizona and Moab ;o)

Ahhhhh the joys of Countryizm!!! (yes its a real thing - the sad truth!) We are Canadian and live in Canada for the Spring and Summer but are lucky enough to have a second home in Arizona where we spend 3 months of the year living as locals during the winter months. This Winter i have spent...

Hi all I thought I would post a link to another question thread I started here in the hope that some of my followers here may know the answer as to where to source lightweight high gloss white poplar furniture board, see...

Hi all, I am based in canada building my own expedition vehicle and I am now at the interior stage. Does any know where I can sources sheets of lightweight poplar high gloss white furniture board from in canada? Home Depot and Lowe’s just don’t cut it. I found this awesome product in England...

Hi All! Just checking in as progress on this thread has been light and for good reason, we have escaped the deep freeze in Canada back in February and after returning home with the truck headed out to Arizona for a few months. Although there is no practical progress on the truck there is a lot...

Cheers unloaded indeed and i have packers for the rear when i start to build the interior and load it to level things out. No pics as yet, i am currently emptying my bank account buying all of the interior stuff lol ready to fit in the Spring and will share as i progress.

Thanks for the heads up i am considering it for sure and thought the same ;o)

That was a custom fabrication from ITB where i had the engineering of the truck built ;o) there are also 2 recovery shackles you cannot see under the back they added for me.

Short video I shot of our expedition truck in action

For sure will post as progress unfolds.

Well, I finally made the flight from Arizona to BC to collect my truck and drive it back home to Ontario Canada - what a drive!!! The truck is everything and more that i had hoped for. ITB and Total Composites knocked it out of park! I would 100% recommend working with these guys to build your...

Suspension upgrade and bumper to bumper service learned so much and i have to say the Fuso is very easy to work on regarding servicing with everything very accessible and simple. The new Australian suspension setup from https://www.fusooffroad.com in Canmore Alberta was worth every penny and i...

I will have to ask ITB but it looked like some sort of shock absorbing rubber.

.... No worries, you are on the same page as me and have drawn the same conclusions. I did not have the time or skill set to build the positive foundation needed for the truck (i am a web developer not a welder!). Basically where you see the build on this thread is the end of ITB's work. I...

On the home run now, double weather seal on the passthrough all in place and load clamps fitted. All that is left it to put back all of the cab trim and this baby is ready for pickup!! Next stop after this will be full suspension makeover, roof rack and bush bars all from Fuso Offroad -...
