    Mitsubishi fuso 4x4 --register in california or not

    Looks like a good clean truck to base a build off of. Sourcing insurance on these trucks is problematic because they are considered commercial. If you do get a commercial policy, make sure to read the fine print. Some insurers place a radius restriction on the distance the vehicle can travel...

    EarthRoamer XV-JP "Northwest Edition"

    Shovel recommendations? Seems simple but....

    When the soil is rocky and hard a shovel just won't cut it. A Pickaxe or Mattock would be a better tool for the job.

    EarthCruiser Overland Vehicles

    You'll want to make sure the completed vehicle is classified as an RV when you get your title, plates and source your insurance. These trucks are considered commercial so you may not be able to source insurance on a bare truck chassis. After an RV recertification you shouldn't have a problem...

    Airing down weight question

    Considering that to rotate tires on a FUSO one has to flip the rims, I'd go with the Toyo AT2's without the raised white letters on the sidewalls.

    Wondering if a Moisture Meter would come in handy finding leaks around RV windows, doors, seams, and fixtures. The only thing that ever works on an RV is the owner.

    Warning for 2012+ in regard to DEF nozzle

    Its not the fault itself I want to isolated and manipulate, its the systems response to that fault that I want to isolated and manipulate. It would be nice if there was a component shown on the vehicle schematic that was labeled 'Transmission Limp Home Solenoid' with a connector that I could...

    Warning for 2012+ in regard to DEF nozzle

    Will erasing the codes using the G-Scan tool take the truck out of Limp Mode? I suspect all you're doing is clearing out a buffer where their values are stored. The vehicle ECU firmware is constantly polling the hardware looking for faults. If the fault manages to correct itself, i.e. fault...

    Warning for 2012+ in regard to DEF nozzle

    Thanks for the write up and letting others know. With a little crowd funding you can create a multimillion dollar start-up company cranking out offroad protection equipment for the later model Canters. You could travel the world living off the royalties. Load up and go anyway. If you have a...

    Convoluted tire size question

    If you're having issues offroad with the Duonic transmission in automatic mode, blame it on the fuzzy control scheme. Per Mitsubishi; The fuzzy control estimates the driver's intention from the vehicle load factor (derived from the theoretical acceleration and actual acceleration with an empty...

    Convoluted tire size question

    Are you running the Duonic transmission in manual or automatic mode during these moments, especially when you get the temperature warning? When you released pressure on the brake pedal, did the Duonic transmission creep function engage?
