is this a common solution? Have never heard anyone do that, seems logical.

Yeah I think you are right on with that, I do not like to leave the doors open with the cab up without support, it just does not feel strong enough to me. I have propped the door up to take some of the weight or also used a bungy cord.

Owen, thanks for posting the image and explanation, makes sense now. Had me wondering there.

Sorry Owen but I dont get it? It looks like bolt B needs to be loosened before screwing bolt A in no? See maybe you need to actually come over and do it for me! It looks as though bolt B is similar to an alternator's set bolt but I might be looking at it wrong?? Logically looking at it I...

I did something in between, both directly on it and on a sheet of ally, weird I know but I had my reasons! one of the best things about having them mounted to a sheet of some sort is that it becomes a tropical roof, also it gives me the ability to get under them if needed. The tropical roof is a...

Yeah it was a good trip and there were many pics taken at all angles but I did not have a camera with me on that trip. It was a great test to see what the truck could do in a semi controlled environment, but I dont think I will be doing it again as my truck was in the upper tree branches most...

Hi eco, thanks, and oddly enough I am still not finished the truck but might be soon, it has now been six years since built! I do have a two stage filter system with a dedicated spigot for drinking water, all the other tap water is coarse filtered. The pump is located close to the water tank...

Hey Chilli where was this truck? I dont know how many of these are out there but I think that one is my brother inlaws?? Here is a picture of his prior to a re make and paint, after paint he changed the tires, removed the winch and bumper and painted the roof white..............this sure looks...

major bummer about this, sorry to hear about it! I too have posted the information on a Canadian forum in the Vancouver area, hope she turns up.

awesome! thanks gait

I use it all the time and was the reason I went with the fuso as opposed to staying with our two wheel drive westy, for us it is about getting into those hard to reach camp spots so simply put, Mandatory! Hey Gait, do you have a trip report anywhere of your trip? would like to see that!

Bolts through the cab floor but you need to trim one corner to fit, no pics,sorry

if you live near a border just get a mailing address, like Ship Happens or Packages Express, they hold it, email you when its in and charge a nominal fee when you pick up. The expense in shipping comes from the brokerage firms clearing it through customs. Most often when reentering Canada...

Maybe you could post up some details on the install for us, not sure what effects can occur with the egr blocked off, can you elaborate on that...

there is no need to tap into the wires, the install is pretty straight forward, plug and play, only real issue I had was to fit the chips wiring loom under the engine cover and around all the injectors forming and fitting them all and trying to protect the wire as much as possible, if I remember...

Hey Owen have you installed an EGT yet? I do want to put one in at some point, has any one installed one yet?

MPG's appear to have dropped by about 1-2 miles per gallon, not exactly sure though because I have not checked for a while and the last time I did a quick calculation I was on a big trip and was very heavy so it might be well off, not too sure what one would expect but for me I didnt expect to...

yup, I got it from Alan and was pretty quick to get to Canada, works well, most notably for torque, although you will pay a price in fuel economy. I installed the switch to turn it off but mostly just leave it on, makes it much easier to drive with it on as down shifting will be reduced. Funny...

I might be way out of line here but isnt it easier to just go get a pro outfit to install an alarm/keyless entry system? I cant remember the exact cost but I had a clifford alarm with remote door lock installed professionally for around $300, came with two fobs, sensor on the camper door and...

Well I would totally like to head to the west of of the Island to help out but Im in China right now for two weeks mostly stuck in traffic or in lines and poor internet.... Cant help you on the low pressures with those tires you have on other than just start testing out different pressures. Was...
