That beast is awesome! Only 2500 miles! Sent from my SM-G991W using Tapatalk

I didnt even noticed it, thanks for pointing it out! Since it's air over hydraulic I was expecting a distinct gauge in psi. I did find out the engine brake switch though, very convenient! I also found a conversion table so 8 to 9 would be ideal, I'll check next time I'm by the truck...

I recently imported from Japan a 1994 Hino Ranger FT 4x4. I managed to get through all the importation and insurance red tape and now happily enjoying it. It's in amazing shape, only 15k miles and 3400 engine hours. It has the H07D n/a engine and a 5spd manual tranny. And it's not a small truck...

Did you use feedback actuators? And with a controller so all 4 move in syncro? Sent from my SM-G991W using Tapatalk

That's a nice kit you designed. What made you change your mind? Maybe I should dust off your kit for you and put it to good use ;) Sent from my SM-T733 using Tapatalk

Thanks Kiwi, I would never have found this company and will be contacting them to see what they can do. And someone should get that truck listed above! Especially with the exchange rate isn't it only $116k usd for just about a brand new truck?!? Sent from my SM-T733 using Tapatalk

That's a gorgeous truck, good luck! Sent from my SM-G991W using Tapatalk

That's great to hear, I'll be in touch for sure, such a great island! Thanks for the offer and see you sooner than later! Cheers David Sent from my SM-G991W using Tapatalk

Yeah, those super singles are on top of my list, after ditching all the original FD gears. Sent from my SM-G991W using Tapatalk

I'm sure I'll loose a mirror at some point on our Canadian trails but most trails I go are usually large enough. And here's my new truck, nice and shiny! Although it doesnt include Hino this section is described as Japanese heavy truck. I think mine qualifies [emoji6]

Here's what I did and I believe it's the best option and the proper way to deal with this issue at a reasonable cost. For $820 plus shipping I bought from East Coast Gear Supply new front hubs with the same bolt pattern as the rear (8x6.5) TIMKEN SP940200 Includes Sensor - Front; 4WD; Single...

Thanks iggi. Yes! The windows were a game changer in my 1st ambo and even more so in this one. Let's face it, there's nothing stealth about our rigs so might as well enjoy the outside views ;) Sent from my SM-G991W using Tapatalk

Steel would be better but the real issue were the studs provided. I have a feeling that they were hardened too much and became brittle. I wouldn't run spacer again but with better studs it might work for you... Sent from my SM-G991W using Tapatalk

I talked to the owner of another identical truck who also mentioned getting 12L/100km so sounds consistent... Sent from my SM-G991W using Tapatalk

This one is even nicer (basically brand new) but the price (cdn) reflets it. Sadly not ready for the US market for a couple years. Nice to be Canadian ;D https://vancouver.craigslist.org/nvn/cto/d/powell-river-2000-mitsubishi-canter-fuso/7549177970.html Cheers David

Here's one I almost bought. Went to look at it, awesome truck. It had some rust but honestly not much, especially for the east coast. Well looked after and the owner Michel is a really nice guy. And that's not a bad price at all considering it already has an aluminum sub-frame and the newer...

Looks like I'm well overdue for a quick update! I'm just about done with the interior, just need to finish the section separating the front cab from the rear and re-install the floor so here's a bunch of random pictures showing the inside with the poptop down. All paneling is 3/4" cedar with a...

Well my search is over. I'm not sure yet what I'm getting into but I ended up buying a 1994 Hino Ranger double cab 4x4 with only 16k miles. It's an ex fire truck from Japan so notbthe same used seen in Australia. It's on the larger side but I really like that there will be hardly any...

Reviving an old thread since I almost bought the same truck as DirtW (1996 version) from a JDM auction (DirtW. I sent you a PM). I've been looking at Fuso Canter (Doka) but I'm afraid the frame length behind the cab might be on the short side so I started looking at the Hino... Any updates from...

Yours is est nicer! Sent from my SM-G991W using Tapatalk
