    FG637 Camper Build

    What is the skin of the coolroom panels made of? If you have any trade related skills, an option might be to make your own door. A little more complex if you want to include a screen door, but definitely not impossible. Most people/companies that I know usually aim for a body width of around...

    Canadian Hino Ranger FT 4x4 Crewcab

    Leaf springs normally have an arc. Yours look pretty flat, hence the comment. Either worn out or the load may exceed their capacity.

    School Me on Heavy Trucks

    Move to Australia, then the task would be considerably easier! The truck above is a 3 seater, short wheelbase, so does not come close to what you are looking for. These are also considered to be light trucks, not heavy trucks. Japanese light truck 4x4 Dual/Crew cabs are, as far as I know, are...

    Centralised Tyre Inflation System (CTIS)

    As you have said, you have not had any issues, but a concern of mine would be changing or rotating a wheel. Without any schrader valves in the stems of the wheel I would imagine that you have to deflated the tyre first, then you have to pump up a deflated tyre. I just see that as potentially...

    Leaf spring detail isuzu NPS

    I do not have an Isuzu, but from what I know, the front leafs are longer than those on a Fuso. Because of this, the ride is generally better with the Isuzu than the Fuso, when using OEM springs. The only advice I would give regarding springs is that you should build the camper first. When you...

    Anyone got a line on Fuso 4M50-T7 Injectors for a 2005 FG140?

    No. Here the cheapest price I have seen for a genuine Bosch injector is about AU$700 each.

    06 fuso fe over heating

    I have pulled mine off a few times to clean it. A spring clip on the hose and 3 bolts for the tank (2 at the top and 1 at the bottom). A really straight forward job that only takes a few minutes. When you refill the cooling system, fill the overflow tank to the max mark.

    New Isuzu FTR with Cummins

    So funny... As strange as it may seem, I have been informed that Australia has about 80% of the 4x4 light truck market globally! Most are use for rural fire trucks and emergency services trucks. And then there are those idiots like us, that put habitats on the back. ;)

    New Isuzu FTR with Cummins

    Given that Fuso are no longer importing the 4x4 FG into the US, you would have to assume that there is a limited market there for that kind of vehicle.

    SRW options for mistsu cantor guts 6 bolt PCE 15.5 inch wheels to 16/17/17.5 inch wheels?

    Okay, I will elaborate... As I see it, sourcing commercial single wheels for a Fuso in the US or Canada is challenging, to say the least. In the multitude of posts on this forum that discuss the acquisition of singles in the Northern Hemisphere there is information on local businesses that are...

    SRW options for mistsu cantor guts 6 bolt PCE 15.5 inch wheels to 16/17/17.5 inch wheels?

    You should search this forum, as sourcing singles in the US has been covered numerous times.

    What kind of problems have you had with your Fuso?

    As I said... the likely cause would probably be worn steering components or tyre balance. A worn tie rod definitely falls into that category.
