Let’s end the hijack, sorry Now back to the good and bad of a pass through. I will delete my post so others don’t see it and continue to respond.

We are contemplating moving from a FUSO to a f550 platform. This is a very nice option. Other than lack of horizontal surface for food prep and misc crap that somehow appears in our current rig this is exactly how I would put one together. What are the wb and ca dimensions Edit: found...

Love our pass thru. Besides the more common and obvious: -Stop, place all the stuff I have in the cab I might like later that night on the ‘pass’ ; gps, wife’s glasses, maps, empty travel mug, bear spray, fleece, hat, etc etc. reverse in the morning. - got a dog? Necessity - frigid cold...

Curious of the info that went into the cab to axel distance decision . Only the regular cab has 108 and 120, so possibly that was that. I am pondering this decision as well. I would like a super cab, but 84 ca seems low but may not be. How much rear overhang is acceptable to folks...

If you don’t mind. What wheels and tires are those? I also sent you an email i think about a mounting system for my box on a f350 (taking it off my Fuso) Any thoughts? Thanks

That is the neutral magic of the FUSO. At its speed and mobility it can create neither downforce or lift. I am pretty sure, one could say I was confident, it was specifically designed that way for a reason… That said, how cool would they look!!! Talk of the next expo.

Don’t we all So do small companies. In fact so does everyone who makes something to sell. Well there you go. The entire build design, computer analysis, qc and construction of the whole vehicle is apparently judged by a bushing. I refer you to a space shuttle incident and a 10 cent O...

Oops Here it is and added to the post

I am just curious. I have great trust and respect for Mitsubishi design and engineering. For example, we have a box mounted per the mitsu build specs, no fancy base plate or springs or what ever, just u-bolted to the frame per mitsu build sheet. It has worked flawlessly for nearly 200k...

Here is a quick and exceeding simple and interesting video regarding the topic. Putting aside the specifics of his vehicle, the interaction between front and rear is worth noting and not always intuitive. Everyday is a school day for me.

Thanks all.

According to my vin on my 2004 fg639 it does not come fitted with an anti sway bar in the rear. Anyone adapted one? Thanks

Can these still be purchased in the US? Looking to swap out my steel ones. If so, got a link? Thanks

Price??

Tried swamp coolers and AC . Even tho the Fuso is relatively big, it is still such a small volume that opening the door to go outside pretty much kills my internal cooling dreams. Not a fan of hanging out inside all the time in warm weather. Use fans at night to move air. Not a problem...

Is it possible to get a link for those stairs? Thanks GLWS

Going to be purchasing new Toyo’s for my ATW 19.5 and before I do I wanted to check with the knowledge base here on options. The 19.5 wheels are crazy robust at 6000kg each or something. The tires equally robust. The tire ramps thru 10” minus quarry spalls at speed without worry. The...

No need to jump at all. Our FUSO is near perfect. 14k gvw, 12.5 k actual, custom box built to our needs, front and rear limited slips, solar, lithium, indestructible 19.5’s with over the top capacity, yada yada yada. The only thought is improving on the parabolic suspension with an MB OR...

Great thoughts folks; thanks for the responses. A couple fine tuning questions. 1) we were slogging thru some muck. I wondered how would these 20k trucks might do compared to my 12k Fuso. I don’t hear of issues. 2) how good is the suspension on the trucks. Cab over ruts, pot holes...

Hi all. Been ages since I have posted. Currently up in the NWT on our way thru AK. We have a well built FUSO FG, with ATW super singles and parabolic suspension. Well sorted for off grid travel for weeks on end. Chatted with a couple folks in big MB trucks with similar dimensions to...
