I don't want to be limited to North America.
Do you know which year had the largest cab? Is there a website with that information on it? Do they have the concept of an extended cab? A silly idea, demonstrating my complete lack of knowledge I am sure, could you put a crew cab onto 4WD chassis...
I am looking at (over time) building out or buying a camper based on the Fuso. It seems like the little-big-truck that can do it all.
My first batch of questions are.
1. The truck will be based in California and I am wondering if there are any model years, engine combinations, that would be...
Silly Q's
I have read a lot about the Earth Crusiers. But i missed what the fuel capacity is, and what if any options there are to increase it. What is the range in miles?
Can i seat three people in the front? Also It looks like there is room to sleep 3 but it is not completely clear...
I am not using a relay, that size, for anything else. The wiring harness will need to be elongated to make it work in either of my 2 spots so it seemed easier to just run a couple of 10ga wires and bypass the two wiring looms I got from ARB. That was my thought process.. which I admit is...
Yep.. I would bypass the BlueSea.. Reason for the combo was to save space. I already have the blueSea, WiredWagon Relay box (soon), 100 amp circuit breaker for the BlueSea (though now I think about it I think that is too big ) and the Luna isolator.
Can you recommend a good easily mounted...
I am working on an ARB Twin compressor install. I have decided to put it under the passenger seat and I want to wire it through a switch that I have bought from Air-On-Board - they have switches that match my 2014 4Runner OEM's - into a relay / circuit breaker combo. The amperage is going to be...
Yep. I am talking about the slide not the drawer. I am going to use a paddle latch on the drawer, but securing the fridge slide is creating problems for me. I am sure this is a common thing, but I can't get the keywords right when I search.
@Rich I have not seen them in real life, but my question related to locked in the closed position. It looks like some kind of latch and I am trying to find the hardware.
Does anybody know what type of latch ARB are using on their slide out. I see the drawer is using a paddle latch, but I am looking for ideas on how to latch the slide for my fridge and can't work out what type of latch ARB are using.
I am making my own slide for a national luna.
Thanks in...
@rayra Thanks for response!
Filler cap is a large coarse thread.
For the filler cap I simply want to recess it, cleanly, without having to provide the huge hole that would be required for the current twist off. I need the Quick Disconnect for the outlet at the bottom. I want to be able to...
I want to use the Front Runner 60L tank for a 4Runner project. To make optimal use of the space I intend to place the tank in a "drawer". To do this I need to attach a recessed filler cap. But it looks like the filler cap on the tank is a non-standard size, larger with coarser thread than I have...
I have a K9 on 5th Gen 4Runner. It was/is tough to install. I am not sure how it compares to the FrontRunner in that regard. The tracks that go from front to back of the K9 are bolted into the 4Runner in only 2 places. The front of rack is not fastened to the 4Runner as does not follow the line...
The reason the metal plate was mentioned is because the platform rack that has my RTTent and the antenna is powder coated and aluminum.
Thank-you to everybody that responded to this thread. Thoughtful and very useful.
Bob,
I can put a cb on an NMO mount? Can you recommend an antenna?. HRO said i couldn't do an NMO mount CB. I might have misunderstood something but i was recommended a Firestik.
Thanks,
Garry.
@Tennmogger Thanks for the advice and I think I am almost at the same conclusion.. But..
I went to the local HRO yesterday. Showed the guy my truck and we talked a little. He had the following suggestions.
1. CB Antenna on the rear bumper or mounted on the lip of the rear door, or on the rack...
@BettysNephew Thanks. We are excited for the trip.
I mentioned earlier that I hate taking my truck apart, and the reason i thought about the 5100 was because the head unit has a GPS antenna built into it allowing for repeater look-up. That would be useful while I am at home in California and...
Thanks for the great responses..
@AndrewP : The Larson sure does get great reviews.
@AlbanyTom : Thanks for portable HF idea. That will make it even more of an event.. and little more fun..
Ultimately i am looking to answer the following questions.
1. Install a 2M rig only and antenna ( icom 5100? )
2. Install a 2M only rig but wire for other antenna's at the same time.
3. Install a more capable rig like the ICom 7100. ( i realise i would not be licenced to use all of its...
I will be getting my technicians licence.
I mentioned HF because i am trying to decide which rig to install and antenna locations. I am trying to optimize my time and i am not a fan of taking my car apart. Whether i go further with my licence is not clear yet, but i do like to listen and i am...
