    Sway bar on an fg

    Don’t we all So do small companies. In fact so does everyone who makes something to sell. Well there you go. The entire build design, computer analysis, qc and construction of the whole vehicle is apparently judged by a bushing. I refer you to a space shuttle incident and a 10 cent O...

    Sway bar on an fg

    I am just curious. I have great trust and respect for Mitsubishi design and engineering. For example, we have a box mounted per the mitsu build specs, no fancy base plate or springs or what ever, just u-bolted to the frame per mitsu build sheet. It has worked flawlessly for nearly 200k...

    Sway bar on an fg

    Here is a quick and exceeding simple and interesting video regarding the topic. Putting aside the specifics of his vehicle, the interaction between front and rear is worth noting and not always intuitive. Everyday is a school day for me.

    12v Air conditioning vs mini Split

    Tried swamp coolers and AC . Even tho the Fuso is relatively big, it is still such a small volume that opening the door to go outside pretty much kills my internal cooling dreams. Not a fan of hanging out inside all the time in warm weather. Use fans at night to move air. Not a problem...

    Any latest news on Fuso wheel/tire options

    Going to be purchasing new Toyo’s for my ATW 19.5 and before I do I wanted to check with the knowledge base here on options. The 19.5 wheels are crazy robust at 6000kg each or something. The tires equally robust. The tire ramps thru 10” minus quarry spalls at speed without worry. The...

    Size question

    No need to jump at all. Our FUSO is near perfect. 14k gvw, 12.5 k actual, custom box built to our needs, front and rear limited slips, solar, lithium, indestructible 19.5’s with over the top capacity, yada yada yada. The only thought is improving on the parabolic suspension with an MB OR...

    Size question

    Great thoughts folks; thanks for the responses. A couple fine tuning questions. 1) we were slogging thru some muck. I wondered how would these 20k trucks might do compared to my 12k Fuso. I don’t hear of issues. 2) how good is the suspension on the trucks. Cab over ruts, pot holes...

    Size question

    Hi all. Been ages since I have posted. Currently up in the NWT on our way thru AK. We have a well built FUSO FG, with ATW super singles and parabolic suspension. Well sorted for off grid travel for weeks on end. Chatted with a couple folks in big MB trucks with similar dimensions to...

    New Fuso 4x4

    We have a 2004. My 2 cents are that if you are doing anything other than forest service roads get a Fuso with a 2 speed transfer case. The Duonic is Moronic.
