    FGs for sale

    Its nice to have solar but those would be ripped off of there by tree branches on the first trip out including the attachment frame work! maybe they could be re-located onto the roof? The gap between the cab and over cab camper would be a good spot to have a tree branch slide into and cause...

    on the road again

    Holy crap that made me shed a tear!! That would be one of the most depressing things to go through for me, best thing is to start a new project for sure!

    Best way to drive washboard in a Fuso?

    Totally agree with this, putting it in 4x4 for corrugation and any hill seems to make it much easier on the drivetrain with less strain on the rears for sure, much more comfortable. I will go into 4x4 very early rather than wait until things get hard then go into 4x4. This will keep the...

    FG84 crewcab

    That looks good, nice job on the avatar but it looks a little naked without Tasmania under there!

    Desert Trip VI: Another Mojave Rd, Death Valley and some Utah Canyonlands

    Thanks for that, I think you are a couple of inches wider than I am. I know of another FG that went through there last year but it looks like there were a few more wash outs now. nice set up too by the way!

    Desert Trip VI: Another Mojave Rd, Death Valley and some Utah Canyonlands

    Great trip report and nice videos, really enjoying it! Off the top of your head do you know the wheel width of your rig?

    camper steps

    Posting a link to Skifreaks web site, if you havent checked it out do so! Lots of very good info on there and one thing that I find very cool are the retractible steps that the link takes you to, at the bottom of the page is a video of them in action. A very complicated and technical piece of...

    Fuso and '64 Jeep M677 LoveChild

    Cool find but not sure about the concept, funny that its mostly a mitsu but registered as a Jeep? Also the other pictures on the posting have a sign for "only low sulpher diesel fuel only" on a 2006? Thought that came along in 2008? But the good thing is that it comes with an "electric...

    out with the old in with the new

    Yeah I like the size of that wand but the image is poor so I cant tell the quality of it, will the switch stay in the on position without constantly holding it? I also dont need the valves as I have taps in the area already. Is your hydronic system plumbed into the trucks coolant? I put a...

    A ‘convert’ FE is not a FG

    Can you do that for under $10,000? My SRW rims and tires ended up over $5000 by themselves, that leaves $5000 for the rest, suspension, frame, transfer case etc...............unless you get parts almost free realistically not do-able in my opinion, even if you own the shop, unless people work...

    A ‘convert’ FE is not a FG

    but it would still be an FE and not an FG, converted or not.

    out with the old in with the new

    Yeah its hard to get out but a reminder is always good. This trip was good in that I was by myself and didn't need to worry about keeping my wife warm and got to do some testing out of the stuff I have been working on. So........... the hydronic system is really nice to have. When operating...

    building the Bullet XV

    Interesting way of securing the drawers, I am still using a combination of clear hockey tape and clamps to hold my drawers closed! I have been looking into what to use and there are really not a whole pile of good options, a slam shut latch seems like a good candidate but the cheapest I have...

    All Terrain Warriors USA website is now online

    This is good news for those looking for super singles and parabolics, bumpers etc.. and prices are on there for those, the LSD are on the website too but state that they are for 2008 or newer models, is that so? Sure will be great having a new and viable option here in NA!

    Best way to drive washboard in a Fuso?

    That racetrack road is awefull! Airing down really is one of the best ways to make it a bit better but not great, I will go pretty low on the front, down in the 25psi range and around forty in the rears and that helps some. If able, a low tire pressure and speed works great but if the...

    Custom camper build question regarding doors

    Having the door on the passenger side is the way to go, for the sake of a few step around the truck it is not worth having it on the drivers side, scenario: flat tire on a busy two lane road, you pull over as far as you can but the truck is just off the road, now where are the tools, oh yeah...

    A little report from last weekend posted on another site and re-posted here. Quick little trip report getting away from the salt mines for a weekend solo trip. A little boring but better than nothing. Not much planning involved in this one, up Harrison west and camp! I left Friday...

    Inside Passage Paddle, Seattle to Alaska, Summer 2013

    You may be right about the predominant winds at that time of year, but from my experience most of the weather comes from the north west along with associated waves, from my time spent in these areas if the winds flow from the south it usually indicates good weather and that will have very light...

    All Terrain Warriors campers

    Hey! What? I used to be blond before I went grey!! but all kidding aside, I like the single cab looks much better than the Isuzu double cab, just seems to be proportionally correct. I have seen a few silver cabs here in the vancouver area and that looks like the best colour for me, if and...

    out with the old in with the new

    Thanks greg! Any piece of equipment does not like to sit, but I did get out this past weekend, a solo trip up west harrison lake with very few humans about, I might post up a mini trip report.
