    Hi, thanks and you are welcome...........no there are 4 windows, when I was trying to decide on the size of the windows I went to my westfalia and sat in there for a while and felt that they were a good size, I did make them taller and wider than the westy's though, there are two in the kitchen...

    My Fuso FM260 is converging...

    looks good John! I never get tired of looking at that truck, Darrin did some good things with that truck and you finished it off nicely! It looks like you have stock seats? Did you do anything with the suspension at all and if not how do you find the ride? Also, looking at the front images, I...

    Code reader

    Well it sure seems like there is not much information to be had on this problem, or at least not a cost effective solution yet, a question for those that know more on this subject than me, if you disconnect the batteries from the ECU will the ECU reset the codes or is there some way that the...

    Hey thanks Mr. D! It was a fun weekend and yes it was a bit tight through there, I spent allot of the time in the lower tree branches and while there I did notice some markings on the branches from something bigger than me going through, I found out it was the BC 4x4 group with a mog and Duece...

    FG's in Action

    WHOA! that looks to be a really stuck truck there, my worst nightmare is to be that deep in muck, and it looks to me like all they used to get outa there was a shovel and throwing whatever under the tires.......... how long did it take to get it out of there?

    Fuso All Aluminum Flatbed (Trayback) body

    Whats odd about it is I thought that this was a US company with a North American FUSO FG which should have the tank on the other side? Is this picture from Oz??

    Fuso All Aluminum Flatbed (Trayback) body

    Tray looks good, I would have bought one of those if they made them at the time........ looking at that truck in the pic, it looks like it has a secondary fuel tank on the drivers side, wonder whats up with that, also price and weight of the tray, any ideas?

    FG's in Action

    Here's a few action shots from a recent trip. It looks to me like the right rear tire is off the ground, this was the only place that this happened, every other mogul the truck managed to have all tires on the ground. This spot was tight with a tree in the wrong spot,I was about to drop...

    Ford F700 Build

    The biggest issue with aluminum is the temperature difference between two surface types and thicknesses, the two surfaces will expand and contract differently and aluminum does a good job of that so what you need is enough thickness in the compound to be used to allow the flex. The flex could be...

    The truck needs to be driven in a different manner than I am used to, here's what works for me: Most of the trail driving is done in low range, this allows me to shift easier in the low gears, when not in low gear going from second gear to first on the move isnt possible, I have to stop then...
