    Winch recommendations 2010 FUSO FG 140

    I've got a Tigerz 11 20,000lb ( yea I know Chinese but how often do you use it) winch mounted in between the rear rails that is cabled to the front and by pulling a loop of the drum and using a pulley block we can double line out the rear if need be. It's all covered in one of my threads...

    97 Dual Cab FG637 Suspension options/advice

    I actually had my springs remade by Dobinsons in Rockhampton. Yes it has an extra leaf in the front but also we had them increase the length of the spring from the centre bolt to the rear and gave them more set. This in effect gave me an extra clearance on the bump stops giving a lot better...

    4d34 turbo advice needed

    Amesz00 is right . This is what I am running at the time being but that will change when I get around to testing another setup that i have in mind. I am happy with it and would certainly go back to it if the other one I try is not as good as I'm hopeing. http://MAMBA GTX Turbocharger TOYOTA...

    GPS- navigation unit or iPad?

    I run Ozi-Explorer running Hema maps on a Surface Pro3 mounted on a Ram Pedestal Mount. Use a Garmin Glo bluetooth Gps. Works really well. It's accuracy for me is good enough to pick the right one of two tracks coming of a road within 100 metres of each other. Ozi- Explorer is the program that...

    FUSO 4x4 man trans - test engine brake parked/moving (check brake shoe thickness)

    I believe that the little rubber plug that you pull to inspect the linings is the same on all Canters. Dan.

    FG's in Action

    At least it is level and you could sleep in it. Dig some and put tracks under the back of front wheels and reverse out. Dan.

    Head Gasket replacement on a FG637EW6 Canter with a 4d33 engine

    Don't forget to put a straight edge across the block in a few different places and angles to see if the block is faulty. Not normally but you are this far. Dan.

    Head Gasket replacement on a FG637EW6 Canter with a 4d33 engine

    I would say without doing any research the one you have is old number and they have new number. Usually if you search the numbers both ways they will cross reference. Leave it to you to try and let us know. Now where is the picture of the problem with the old gasket. Dan.

    Suspension Seat Isuzu NPS crew Cab

    Haven't found one (motor trimmer) that was interested enough to have a go yet. Well not true we have had the passenger side redone for a little improvement but not a lot. You are still sitting on it not in it. Drivers seat I find not to bad myself. Dan

    MaxTrax, are they worth it?

    Not Maxtrax's, the same idea but heavier for our trucks. And yes they are worth it. First video I was intenionally trying to get it bogged down as much as I could. The second video I hadn't let any air out of the tyres as we were just trying to get of the road to camp. Dan.

    AUSTRALIAN Canter owners.. Air Con??

    If you can get original internal bits all the wiring is all ready there as I changed over the aircon from one to another that never had aircon and just conected up the wires. Dan.

    Yes another Fuso SRW thread.....sorry.....

    Best argument is alloys are lot-lot lighter. You can go for 325/85x16" tyres and they certainly have tyres that are capable of handling higher loads. Our military use them on armored troop carriers Mitchelin XML 137J rating (2300Kg at 100Klms/hr, 5071Lbs at Roughly 60Mph ) I believe and there...

    That maybe so on later model Canters. Dan.

    NPS 300 Crewcab questions

    I would go steel because we are talking about something that has movement and you will get less wear. Now something else for you to consider is that the alloy tray will flex by itself being alloy (the springs will need to be light) unless it is very solidly built and then you are on the other...

    Exhaust gas temperature sensor?

    Never heard of one breaking off, they usually fail and then need replacing. Dan.

    Exhaust gas temperature sensor?

    Totally different engine than yours. Home made exhaust manifold as well. Yours is a lot later model so pics of mine probably won't do you any good. All I can say is pick a spot that you believe to be thick enough and drill it. I've even drilled through where the shroud mounting bolts are to fit...

    2001 Mitsubishi FG637

    Are they on a SPLIT rim - then yes, only way to seal them. If they are on a one piece rim your guess is as good as mine. Dan.
