    T-3000 OSHKOSH

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/T-3000-OSHKOSH-/111241124862 I know, totally impractical and improbable... but still, how cool a vehicle could you build out of that base? :)

    Dewalt Tough System cases

    Anybody have any experience with these? They look pretty sturdy and come in a couple of different sizes and seem pretty reasonably priced ($45-60 each). I've just ordered a few to check out. Durable 4mm thick structural foam box wall gives robust structure to the stand alone units Integrated...

    My nuts sheared off

    On my recent 6200 mile trip, this happened about 600 miles from home. I drove the rest of the way back while keeping an eye on the other studs. I could see that they were all slowly torquing round - but fortunately everything held together for the remainder of the return trip. I finally...

    NA Parts Sources

    Other than my local dealership, what do folks with Fusos in the USA find to be good parts sources - for spares, etc. I know Busbee is a good source for the larger salvage parts, thinking more the consummables & things you would want to buy new. Thanks!

    Android OBD2 reader, error code P1335

    Using a bluetooth OBD2 adapter and the android "Torque" program I am able to read fault codes with no issue - but the live data is completely wrong (engine RPM, coolant temperature, etc). Anyone else try messing around with this? Also - related question - Fault Code P1335, any experience with...

    Swing-down rear tire carrier

    So now that I have made the change to SRW, I need to develop a way to stow the spare. The best option is going to be off the back of the truck on a drop down mount. Any pointers to folks that have done something similar to this already? Thanks!

    Pugsly's FG rebuild thread

    As a lot of you already know, I am the new owner of the "Hackney BEV", which was well documented and discussed here during the build phase several years ago. Doug Hackney's original build is well documented here so I won't go into that in this thread. What happens when you acquire an overland...

    FG Mirror stay disassembly

    I'm trying to separate the metal components of the mirror stay from the plastic so I can sandblast and powder coat. I can't figure out how to disengage the bottom piece, as shown in the line drawing. I've figured the rest of it out. Any hints? Thanks!

    Rusty fuel filler neck - what to do?

    I've realized that my diesel fuel filler necks are rusting like crazy on the inside. This pile is from what I could reach with the wire brush. Can only imagine what has dropped into the tank as well. :Wow1: Any advice on how to thoroughly clean it out (do I need to get it sandblasted?) and...

    Aluminum flatbed for a Fuso (NA)

    I'm starting to spec out an Alu flatbed for my crew cab as the base for my lightweight camper build. I'm planning on an 80" (cab width) bed. Does anyone have any pearls of wisdom? Thinking something along these lines...

    Sometimes it's the little things - new LED lights in the camper

    When I acquired the Fuso, the truck camper had the standard two sided ceiling lights, each with one incandescent and one vintage cool white LED assembly. I hate incandescents (I spent my early years as an engineer designing those helical CFLs you see all over the place now) but to be honest...

    Fuso SRW options

    Looking through the threads, it seems that there are several alternatives for SRW (in the US market) 1. Recentered HMMWV wheels from Trailworthy Fab - http://www.trailworthyfab.com/Custom-Hummer-Wheels-w-Tire-Combos/ I like the beadlocks and the ability to mount new tires in the bush, but am...

    FE145C build

    Yesterday I completed my search for the base vehicle for a build. 2007 Fuso FE145 crew cab with just under 200k miles. Doesn't appear to be anything offensively wrong with it. Guy I had pick the truck up for me was able to drive it 600 miles with no issues (other than the incredibly rough...
