This is awesome! Really the best deal going. If we didn't already have Fido we would be all over this. Good luck to all parties involved! Allan and Sakshi

I have been around the block on this on my FUSO. I assume the same applies to your truck. The best option in my opinion is to go to a local big rig spring shop-every major town has one. Have them build you new springs that are 1" longer and have them re arch them accordingly. Have them...

Give us a full report on the on road/off road performance when you are a few miles down the road! There aren't a lot of write ups on shock alternatives here. I went with fairly expensive external reservoir blisters with custom valving. Allan

I bought my 17' rims from www.goannatrack.com.au I believe they are the manufacturer for atw. I am very happy with the 17" size. I run all terrains and have found them to significantly outperform the 19.5" toyo tires in muddy conditions when aired down. The 37" diameter is great for...

It is due to brake line clearance

There are even a camper or two around these parts tipping the scales at over 20k without a trailer! A

I feel that the only FG's deserving of such a high price are the non Diesel emissions vehicles which were made prior to 2008. This is a $20K truck in my opinion. Allan

It has been remarkably reliable. We keep pushing the envelope with it taking it into more and more rugged terrain. In the fall we went to the most remote area in the continental US-the Maze district of Canyonlands. It was Extremely rugged. Fido stuck out amidst all the Rubicons and Lifted...

We are tempted to buy and store this until we can get there from the states. When we initially built FIDO it was with the intention of shipping internationally, but in retrospect we feel the best thing is to buy/travel for a year plus/ and sell when finished. Will probably wait for the next...

I follow the factory recommendations from the service manual. There is a digital copy floating around here somewhere. Hopefully SkiFreak or someone chimes in with it soon. The only deviation I make from factory recs is on the Rear diffferential. I use two large tubes of FORD friction...

Unless you have record, I would change ALL fluids-brake, antifreeze, f Diff, R Diff, Transfercase, Transmission. Inspect them all for bearing material. I then change them all again every 30,000 miles. Engine oil if due. Fuel filter. Inspect the front cv boots very carefully for weather...

Wheels can be purchased from www.goannatracks.com

Get it! Safe investment. These older diesel trucks are only going up in value. Allan

Keep us posted on this. I also have wondered about this conversion. Allan

Looking good! I have the same bike-love it. Sure looks like you are in Utah my home territory. If you ever find yourself in SLC be sure to look us up! Allan, Sakshi, and Fido

WOW! That is a monster trailer on there! Super singles and it's ready to go!

We love the short wheelbase on FIDO!

Nice short wheelbase model. If I were on the same continent I would be looking carefully at this! Allan

In the states 4WHEELPARTS has good supply still. They are more focused on off road parts. Allan

WOW! This thread never ends. Can't remember if I threw in my 2 cents yet so here goes. We have a short wheelbase 2000 FG. This means that to begin with there is a lot less stress torsionally on the frame than the long wheelbase models because the wheels have less leverage from front to...
