Recently drove 1600 miles across country in the FG. I was a little concerned about the trip because I've had back problems. I thought the rough ride might cause me problems. Surprisingly, my back felt really good. Once I completed the 1600 miles I went for a 2 hr drive in my dad's new...

On a road trip: denver-Chicago-Rochester-Maine--Nova Scotia-Newfoundland and back. In the middle of Ohio, my foot started slipping off the clutch pedal. Thought I had stepped in some oil in the rest area. But no, clutch master cylinder was leaking. Got on at a Fuso dealer in Syracuse NY...

I know it's hard to imagine a National Wild and Scenic River in Nebraska but the Niobrara is a special place. I first paddled it in the early 80's in Western Nebraska. We'll be paddling it east of Valentine where most people float it this weekend. I prefer the more isolated section but any...

Last year I replaced both batteries on my FG because they were dead when I went to pick it up at the storage yard. Went to pick it up at the storage yard yesterday and batteries were so dead they didn't even power the dash lights. It had been in the yard about 4 weeks. Prior to the last time I...

Planning to drive from CO to Newfoundland this summer. Considering driving the FG and possibly towing the Suzuki Sidekick (1996 4dr) behind it. I usually tow the Sidekick behind our Bluebird Wanderlodge but am thinking the FG is a better vehicle for this trip. Anyone have experience towing...

Opening bids are low. Mileage is low for the year. Frame looks in pretty good condition, especially being from the NE. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170482018991&viewitem=&sspagename=ADME%3AB%3ASS%3AUS%3A1123

http://denver.craigslist.org/ctd/1693301856.html Might be a good basis for an expedition camper. The service body and crane have to be worth a good $$.

Listing is a little suspect and reserve is not listed but current bids are low. Doubt anyone would be interesting in converting what's on the bed into living quarters. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270556180765&viewitem=&sspagename=ADME%3AB%3ASS%3AUS%3A1123

Just got back from 8 days in India. Given the comments on this forum about how Fuso's are sold virtually everywhere, I expected to see some. To the contrary, I saw not a single one. I saw probably thousands of trucks on the intercity roads. Virtually all were Indian made Tatas. A few...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180479191071&viewitem=&sspagename=ADME%3AB%3ASS%3AUS%3A1123 No reserve and relatively low miles. One owner. Could be a good deal for someone interested in 2wd camper conversion.

Bought an 80 series LandCruiser yesterday from an electrician who had built a mobile satellite communications outfit for Clear Channel Satellite, paid for by WellPoint the healthcare giant. It was very expensive (one switch was $7Million) and is in a bulletproof pod and gets hoisted onto the...

Price is high, miles are low. The roll of body systems has to be worth a pretty penny and it has a generator too. But I don't know if I'd trust a roofing company in NJ? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290405289849&viewitem=&sspagename=ADME%3AB%3ASS%3AUS%3A1123

Can anyone comment on the implications of a center diff lock in an 80 series + an Aussie locker in the rear? How much different would that be than front and rear lockers?

My wife has been driving a very nice 1979 Mercedes W116 300SD but she has been complaining that it makes her feel like an old woman. So, today we cut a deal on a 94 FJZ80. She used to drive FJ55's in her youth so the 80 should give her her youth back. I would have preferred one with lockers...

I was driving up I-81 near Fort Drum in NY a few months ago and saw lots of Man Kat 4x4's in a number of convoys. Do they ever show up in military surplus auctions? All the ones I saw had the same kind of specialty flat bed. Anyone know what they are used for?

This truck has been all around Craigslist for a couple of years. It's now on ebay. Might be a good source for parts. The superstructure looks pretty nasty but the pictures of the chassis below seem to indicate it's not too bad...
