The word I got from two different dealer mechanics was that that little California sticker on the driver side door is 60% of a time a lie. You can't get any new FG's because they can't pass the emissions testing at, I forget- either 50k or 100k miles. That is why the winter kit (first due in...

Okay back to internet. In Nova Scotia now- already pining for New Foundland. Just so we are clear- the dealer that sold the truck is not the person that mounted or spin balanced the tires. So- he has not seen the truck ever (he delivered it directly to my daughters house from the port of...

I have decided to add new suspension to the Beast. I am looking for something that makes for a more pleasant ride when traveling at 30+ mph. Four wheeling has been acceptable at our weight (6 tons) with stock, but the rough road driving is in serious need of improvement. I asked one of the...

Dlh62c and dtrunzinski are dead on. Their answers just about made me pee my pants from laughing so hard at those exact experiences. At 6 tons fully loaded and using 315 75R16 Cooper St/Maxx on EC wheels, the 4 wheeling fire roads, Schafer trail in canyon lands, logging trails and etc is not...

I contacted the Fuso dealer that I bought the truck from- letting him know that I have not been able to keep the front tires in balance and curious as to what he thought? His reply was that he suspected that perhaps my Cooper St/maxx's were slipping on the rims. After that, I marked the wheels...

Hi guys- Back where there is internet. The remounting of the weights to outside of where they would rub on the front rotor worked like a champ for about 80 miles. Then I heard a bling, bling, bling and the steering wheel began to shake again. Not nearly as much, but Beads sound pretty good...

Greetings from Gander, Newfoundland. Came here to replace our flat with a new ST/Maxx. Glad I had all the tools that I needed to change tires- 33mm lugs and not using a hydraulic wrench aren't part of the game up here. Anyway- very nice guys at OK Tire and they had no problem using my tools...

EAB- The four six volt 220 amp Lifelines went in the middle a TV toolbox on the lower section of the headache rack. They are serial/parrallel to make up 440 amps. The port side toolbox has the Sterling battery to battery charger putting out up to 120 amps per hour. So far the Yamaha generator...

Hello everyone. Finally got some internet. "The Beast" is working fine. We did get 16.4 mpg the other day. We have seen a general improvement since changing to Schaffer oil and getting more miles: up to 8,900 miles. Managed to get a flat. We have done some off-roading and I believe we...

Ladies and Gentlemen, Mesdames et Messieurs, Damen und Herren, from what was once an inarticulate mass of lifeless tissues, may I present a cultured, sophisticated, vehicle about town. The Beast! (Most of the above directly lifted from “Young Frankenstein”-love that movie) Specs: Everything...

Oh yeah- Jomobco: In certain circumstances, I suspect there is some ... hum.. rocking motion when parked:sombrero:

Hi guys- I believe that we will be finished this afternoon and I will post more pictures when I can. We leave here on Thursday, so not sure when. As for the bumpstops and shocks- we just did 660 miles and it worked perfect. I had thought about adding turnbuckle system for highway driving...

Our 2015 shake-down cruise: total miles of 660 in three days. Covering mountains and high plains. With more parts on order, the motorcycle lift system being painted and the head-ache arch being contemplated, we decided to take-off for a shake-down cruise to Sugarbrite Canyon, New Mexico. We...

I have owned a various number of dirt bikes since 1980. My first was a Kawasaki KX 175 (never bought another Kawasaki after that) and my last was a KTM 520 EXC (four stroke that thought it was a 3 stroke). Best bike ever that I owned: the KTM hands down going away. It could creep and go over...

You are right- I missed that part. Nicer stereo in Oz as well. http://cdn.fuso.com.au/Docs/SpecSheets/Canter_FG_4X4.pdf

Jomobco- Yes. It is Hefty Fabworks. They are the same people that have been doing all of the sub-frame and will do the motorcycle ramp and head-ache rack behind the cab. Everything that has been done to my truck so far is on their cad/cam and can be easily reproduced for 2012+. I will give...

Just stumbled across this newish article. Might be of some interest to us here in North America. http://www.fullyloaded.com.au/product-news/1502/fuso-adds-improvements-to-canter-fg-4wd-truck/

Here are some pictures of the just installed fixed bull-bar. For me, it turned out as well as I had hoped. I figured, since at least 50% of the time I enter a room and forget why I am there, not having to remember to lower the bull-bar was an excellent idea for me. And for the mechanic...

Czechsix- Wife says “hell no”- that is her job exclusively. But thanks for the offer. Yabanja- Thanks. Perusing this and other sections of the forums on EP- I saw the good, the bad and the ugly. This place and the suggestions you get are often quite valuable. Another big step...

Well damn- I didn't think it would be that easy.
