If you are not having a passthru, a hard sided poptop is not really a technical challenge and this negates the need for any canvas. :)

Geeez... how to resurrect an old thread! :) I think this subject is a bit moot these days, as it really does not matter any more. If you plan on traveling the world, pack whatever AC appliances you may want to use and connect them to your battery powered inverter. That way all you have to worry...

Simple... Use this icon to insert an image from your computer.

I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong here, but I am pretty sure that you would need to change the gearbox too if you want to add a transfer case. Doable, but definitely not a cheap option, especially if you are also adding international freight to the cost.

All that said, it's not truly a 3" exhaust system unless you replace the OEM dump pipe at the back of the turbo. The OEM dump pipe squeezes down to 2 1/4", which creates a flow restriction right after the turbo. When I originally changed my 2 1/4" exhaust to 3" I simply used a short conical...

Just make sure they are legal in your country before committing to them, as I am pretty sure that they are no longer legal in Australia.

Here in Australia these trucks are very common, so when it comes to doing things like swapping out a cab. more people would be aware of what's involved. The same cannot be said for the US/Canada. If you had strong mechanical skills and were doing the work yourself, this could be a viable...

Don't rule out using a bed lift, as that can give you significant extra usable living space. Also... be aware that a bed that changes into a seating area has to be made up on a daily basis. That can get old really quick, especially if you plan on living in the camper for extended periods.

I will let Allan answer that question, as I am not familiar with this model; it is not sold in Australia.

As I see it... your are comparing comments made about extending a frame for a 19 foot camper against a 16 foot 6 inch camper. Am I missing something here?

Hmmmmmm... I must admit, I had not considered doing that. ?

Also... if, as you say, you have a diff center from ATW, it will be a Quaife Auto Torque Biasing (ATB) differential. This is from the Quaife website: "the Quaife ATB Differential does not require any special lubricants"

What's the point of engaging 4WD, high or low, without engaging the front hubs? It just does not make sense, as it would have absolutely no effect.

You mention that these would be a custom built rim. Is there a reason why you cannot get a custom built 17" rim? It's your truck and you will do what you want with it, but I know that I would not feel safe fitting 17" tyres on a 17.5" rim.

How are you going to fit a 17" tyre onto a 17.5" rim? The bead will not seat correctly. :rolleyes:

I'm confused... That's a 17" tyre, not a 17.5" tyre.

That doesn't inspire a lot of confidence, does it. But... it's good that you have resolved the issue. :)

On the Fuso there is a pretty wide torque range for the wheel nuts, so going a bit over or under is probably not a major issue. That said, I was taught that another reason for torquing nuts/bolts was to get them all tightened as close as possible to each other, as that spreads the load more...

I do not have one of these, so I cannot give any first hand advice, but they do look like they would work fine. Definitely cheaper and smaller than my torque wrench. From watching videos of how these work, it looks like you could over or under torque the nuts if you are not fully focused on the...

Very tidy Brad. :)
