Unfortunately, at this point in my build, there is really nothing in the box worth sharing. So far, I have put down some marine grade carpet on the floor (for now), and bolted in a couple of nice locking chests full of things like tow straps, an air compressor, a jack, and a Snap-On 4 to 1...

Your mock-up looks great, and I'm glad that to hear that you got some windows, especially on the cheap. As for cutting that hole, you just have to go for it. (that is, of course, after measuring, re-measuring, having a "****** are you doing?" moment, and again measuring one last time) I went...

What had happened is that the wire got wedged between the camper body and the frame, and over time, the situation wore away the plastic coating on the wire a bit. As such, it would only short out now and again, and I can only assume it happened more so when the camper body would twist off road...

I had a similar problem on a trip a few years ago. What it ended up being was a wire along the frame rail had worked its way out of the harness sheathing, and had become pinched between the frame and the camper box, causing the lights to short out. It happened on and off over the course of the...

Here is a link for dual tanks offered by United Truck Center http://www.uatparts.com/miva/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=uatparts&Product_Code=FUSO-KT813001&Category_Code= Hope that helps !

I have been looking to mount a Flippac top on the box, but I have not been able to locate a lightly used one here on the East Coast. That said, I have put in a request to Flippac to acquire the top cap (bed), tent, and hinge assembly. For those not familiar with their product, you can check them...

Very cool, and "Thanks" for the link. I will check them out.

Good point about the visibility factor, especially with all of the "texting while driving" idiots out there. As such, and to offset that, my truck is equipped with day time running lights. I usually keep my marker lights lit on the darker days, as well. Additionally, a good horn is always a...

Thanks Mog ! I agree that the dark colors are well suited to the truck (go figure, right?) but I am still looking at every possible option. That said, now I just wonder if I will be able to find somebody who can do it. Given the fact that the box, and possibly the cab, will probably not be in a...

Graphics wrap idea Hi I was thinking that I would do a graphics wrap on the Fuso to promote my business, but I ultimately decided that the nature of my business would take away from the expedition / commercial neutrality factor that makes the truck so cool. As such, I have decided on doing an...

Nice looking rig. Looks like a lot of fun.

But you are selling the truck, right? If you were going to keep it I would say run it the way it is, as you obviously love the truck, and it seems to do the job. I think it looks really cool too. Converting to 4X4 would be quite involved, as per your descriptive, and in the end you would have to...

I did not see that post, but you may want to browse Ebay.

The box that you have is perfect. Light weight, and with the structural integrity that would be hard to duplicate. Just make it work, and when you do, you will be happy that you stuck to your guns. Many said the same things about my dream of mounting an old Trugreen body to my FG, and yet the...

That is true, I suspect, but the daily return on my investment is priceless.

I got the tires from Tire Rack, and including shipping to Virginia, they set me back about $2500 (plus another $250 locally to have them mounted and balanced) The wheels were purchased through Earth Cruiser AU, from their new shop in Portland, Oregon USA. I was probably one of their first US...

Yes, Bilstein 5100 Series

Hi I'm looking for a 6' Flippac top , including the platform, seal, hinge, and tent. I am going to mount it on the top of my Fuso FG's camper body, so I do not need the lower portion of the unit. Put in a call to Flippac in the hopes of custom ordering, but nobody has returned my call. As such...

Hi Gary I have been running the Bilsteins that Doug Hackney had suggested for the best part of a year now with no complaints. If your not boggin' the thing down, they seem to do the trick, irregardless of what I have read to the contrary. But again, that's me

I got the windows from a vendor on Ebay, Tri State Surplus in Pittsford, Michigan. As for the beach permit, I agree. It does suck, as it further strangles the local economy. That aside, I did not do much off roading this trip, as our focus was to spend as much time in and on the water as...
