2001 BMW F650GS Dakar with new rubber I bought this bike last year with 700 + miles on it (at 11 years old). That said, I went through the bike and replaced anything that was weathered or dry rotted. Eventually, that would include the original Metzler Sahara tires, which looked new, but were...

I find the stock seats to be quite comfortable, even after a trip from VA to CA, and back.

Exactly. I love the stuff, and yes, just like painting, prep is everything. Good lookin' out !

I get higher mileage and the truck is faster, especially at highway speeds. Stopping seems about the same.

Those are a great fit for your truck. To note, I am running 37" BFG Mud Terrains on a 2004 FG649 without any problems whatsoever. Happy trails.

Ditto. :smiley_drive:

...me too

How did you decide which size/part# unit to go with ? I noticed that the Fuso/Canter FG is not listed in the Tough Dog application chart. As for brackets, I'll just rely on "inventive gusseting" as well. If you have the pics, I would definitely like to see them. Thanks

Just wondering if anyone could recommend a steering stabilizer for a Fuso/Canter FG. Not so much now, but when I originally installed my BFG's, heavy braking was like re-entering the earth's atmosphere. As such, I used the engine brake for the first couple of months, as it seemed to calm the...

From my perspective, especially here in the colder months, powder coating has eliminated the need for me to to stand out in the freezing temperatures with a paint can and heat gun, with the delusional hopes of walking away with a factory applied finish. With powder coating, I get the desired...

I mounted some Maxtrax on the back of the Fuso a few weeks back, and I'm just dying to try them out. Additionally, I also purchased some powder coating equipment, and damn is that s*ht cool. That said, I am systematically powder coating everything I cannot eventually replace with stainless...

Hey Gold Boy This thread has gone off the rail a bit, but I myself cannot think of a vehicle that has given me more enjoyment per mile than my 2004 Mitsubishi Fuso FG. Sure (stock) they ride like a horse and are (stock) a bit slow, but after 4 years of having an FG as my daily driver, I would...

I went through those posts this morning, and I saw that top. For my purposes, unfortunately, the top is too stylized. Nice tent top, though

Hi I got my SRW set up from Earth Cruisers AU. They have a shop now in Oregon. Hope that helps.

Hey Mog I did notice that the hinge system on the Wildernest was not the most sophisticated unit I had seen, so I thought it possible to modify /retrofit a spring loaded hinge from a Flippac or somewhere else. That said, if you have some pics to share, I would love to see them. Worse case...

Cool, I will check them out. Thanks !

If a 4' X 78" Flippac tent top existed, and it was hinged to the side rather than the front, when it opened up it would create the same overhead opening and bed space as a forward hinged unit, but would allow me to simply pop in an additional foot or two of bed surface to create the equivalent...

Good points. I am just concerned about whether a 4' wide bed would be worth the time and expense. It may be the only sensible option, though, given the dimensions that I have to work with. Thanks !

Cut and shut option I am not familiar with your terminology, but I like the thought of making a Flippac work for my application. As such, please elaborate, if you get a moment.

Flippac fail After finally doing some measuring today, it seems that the Flippac idea is out the window. Unfortunately, due to the taper of the box, the roof measures only 48" in width. The most narrow Flippac unit measuring 64" in width. That said, my mind is all over the place looking for...
