I have spent the Last 3 months building "FIDO"- our 2000 Mitsubishi Fuso pop-top camper to prepare for this spring's Overland Expo and ultimately extended international travel. The build thread can be seen here:http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/116607-Diving-in-Head-First! We just...

How many miles are people getting out of the brakes on their FG's? Most of my braking is done with the exhaust brake so I would expect a significant life. Do the drums usually need to be replaced? What shoe material are people using? Any upgraded shoes available?(I come from a history of...

I was tinkering on google and found the references to the Mitsubishi factory race trucks in the Dakar rally. Pretty cool stuff. Anyone have any more info on this effort? Any lessons from these vehicles that could be applied to our overland efforts...

My wife has strongly endorsed the fg camper project but she has laid down some requirements. One of these is that it have cruise control. Mine is a 2000 fg639 swb. It is not equipped with cruise. I am a big fan of keeping it factory and was wondering if any of these had cruise from the...
