Original 161 HP 295 lb·ft STEINBAUER 193 HP 369 lb·ft Bit of a difference. I'm sure it'll help on long hills, but I'm also curious to see if it helps at lower speeds, climbing ledges and such. Anything that helps with minimizing wear and tear on the entire rig is a good thing, and...

The traction might not necessarily be better, much depends on what you get for rubber, but airing down always helps with any tread design. A couple of big advantages are lessened drag through soft terrain - mud, sand and the like. This'll only happen though, if you run the wheels with the same...

Hi Alan - that's good to hear. Steinbauer directed me to this dealer, after I talked with the Steinbauer folks. They said it might be a wait, since they haven't sold any modules for the Duonic trucks here in the U.S.? Anyway, good to hear they're working fine. Looks like an easy install too...

Any updates on them?

Well, it's ordered, should be here this week. Since I haven't had enough guinea pig experiences in my life, and I'm trying to establish a record, it's apparently the first Steinbauer module for the Duonic that's been ordered in the U.S.A. Got it from a dealer in California, took a couple of...

It'll be very interesting to see how well everything works. Looking great so far. Regarding that radio, and the touch screen - have you used that model in any of your builds so far? Just curious, because I've stayed away from touch screens as much as possible in my off road vehicles...

Looking good, Allan! Who knows, maybe we'll run across each other on the road this year. Should have our rig on the road by the end of next month, at the least I'm hoping so.

Not much one can do, other than A:Older truck, B: retrofit older engine/trans to newer truck, C: be a megamillionaire and have a fuel bowser follow you everywhere.

Fluffy: Yep, agreed as to having an onboard diagnostic system. Unfortunately, they're pricey no matter what. Jon: Yah, I think we're all kinda using "MUT-III" as a generic term for the Fuso system. I've got an Integron xentry system sitting here, for inclusion on the rig when it's picked up.

Heck yeah as to the dealership! Just wait till you see my prices in the middle of the tundra! Seriously though, agreed as to access to dealers v no access. But also - what's easy access? Down the street? Within a hundred miles? How about a 300 mile tow from the middle of nowhere, that's...

Since yahoogroups is freaking impossible to use, I'll ask here instead :sombrero: So - for those of you that have done extended trips, or even non-international travelers with FG's: What truck or camper related spares do you carry? We've got an Alaska trip coming up in a 2012 model. Basic...

Hay, Allan - how far up into Canada are you going to go? Going to do the Yukon?

Subbed for updates, and good luck on your travels!

That could be a great resource, thanks for posting it, OP. I'll check into them when I'm stocking up on spares for the coming trips.

Anyone interested, toss an offer out at me......

OK, time to move this out of the way. I've got a tray with a headache rack that has been removed from my 2012 FG. Heavy duty steel bed, folding headache rack, Better Built toolbox and fuel tank combo, with a Graco 12v pump on the 75 gallon tank. (maybe it was 65 gallons, come to think of...

Envy. Green. Wish I was there...have to be next year though, but please keep going with the updates!

Leaving Thursday afternoon, should roll in after midnight, on the west ridge. Gonna dry camp up there, ride a TW200 into the show.

Heckuva lot more protection, that's for sure. Looks good and it'll be interesting to see how much abuse it takes (prevents?) over the coming miles.

Kanga - I have a 2012, and I've also seen that the Scangauge "might" work on it. I think, however, I'm going to opt for the factory unit. It's not that much more expensive, and I've had one bad experience already with an aftermarket scanner. Luckily it seems to work well for another owner's...
