Looks like a good find! The duals will take you a lot of places. Without a load the ride will be harsh. Reducing air pressures to 35psi each in the rear will help. Try 70psi in the fronts. Keep in mind these trucks are considered commercial, so check with your insurance carrier for coverage...

You can certainly give it a go. Keep all the parts you remove, because they'll all have to go back on. https://blog.diesellaptops.com/2019/04/18/emission-deletes-and-tunes/

The tread is dated. See Post #53. https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/chiptune-dpf-delete-problems.125495/page-4#post-1780043

Have you considered a freight truck cargo body? https://www.morgancorp.com/refrigerated/nexgen/ Some inspiration; http://www.questconnect.org/ExpeditionVehicle.html

Sourcing insurance coverage on a completed EC is easy because its not a DIY conversion. There's a dollar amount attached to the EC purchase as in a Bill-Of-Sale or receipt. Its not the insurance companies that you need to worry about, but the underwriters that back their policies.

Not sure what the best solution for preventing or reducing the rust other than a under carriage rinsh with water from time to time. Maybe others have some ideas.

Is it as bad as this 2001? Hard to tell but it looks like it has snow plow mounts on the front.

A Japanese truck with an Italian motor, what were they thinking? These trucks are designed to haul freight and certainly not over long distances. There should be a warning in the owner manual not to pick ones nose while under way. Serious injury or death could result. Trying to use the radio...

Keep in mind these trucks are considered commercial, so check with your insurance carrier for coverage. For some reason insurance underwriters have trust issues when you tell them you purchased a commercial vehicle for personal use. Will this truck be registered in the state of California? In...

Sorry I can’t help with the repair, I’d hold the trouble light if I was there. What happened to lead you to believe the low pressure fuel pump is bad?

Welcome to the forum. What does the DPF in is using the incorrect engine oil. It needs to meet low ash specification CJ-4 to reduce ash buildup in the DPF. Buying used there’s no telling what engine oil someone else has been using. You might contact a nearby shop to see if there’s any type...

Looks like the author below has been traveling in Mexico for several months. The author makes a good point at the end regarding plugged DPF's and the usage of the incorrect engine oil. As I posted above, I've seen engine oil that meets low ash specification CJ-4 on shelves at AutoZones in...

You'll have to ask him how he handled the Budd Studs on the rear with only a single rim. The spare tire carrier in the front is certainly unique.

Not sure it’s possible with Budd Studs. It takes a Budd Socket to remove the inner wheel.

@dlh62c - San Felipe is probably within round trip range of the Cali boarder? Depends where you cross. I’m entering from the Midwest and cross at Lukeville Az. But it’s a long travel day to San Felipe If you take in account the border crossing and check points. ULSD is available country...

JIC the truck didn’t come with its Owners Manual; https://www.mitfuso.com/en-us/owners/literature

I applaud you for considering the fuel system as a whole and not as discrete parts. The integrity of the low-pressure side is essential for the entire fuel system to work properly. Things to consider are the cost of the replacement part, it's form, it's fit and it's function. While the cost of...
