Read the article in the most recent Canoe magazine on the Mississippi trip in the 28' canoe and it has gotten me interested in paddling one? I saw the exhibit of fur trade canoes on the portage trail on the Mattawa River 30 years ago and have had an interest in them since. Outfitter in CO used...

I haven't given much thought yet to the appropriate spares and tools to carry in my FG since I haven't traveled far from civilization with it. (although I did go to Canada:)) I've had a starter, alternator belts and secondary fuel filters onboard for a while but that was a brainless act. So, I...

Are the manual 5spd transmissions in FE's and FG's the same or different? In other words, is the transfer case in an FG just bolted to the back of an FE 5spd so an FE 5spd can replace an FG 5spd? I'm wondering because my syncros are worn and I'm debating whether purchasing a used 5spd...

Anyone here done it or had it done? Mind are worn. Wondering whether I should attempt it myself or have it done? Any recommendations?

Someone here should jump on these: http://www.govliquidation.com/auction/view?id=3796708&convertTo=USD Only one day left on the auction. Update your old MB truck drivetrain with a complete new drivetrain.

Looking forward to a 3 day paddle thru Horsethief and Ruby canyons this coming weekend. Been a few years since I've run it. Summer crowds should be gone and the trees will be changing. Running about 3k right now. Joining up with some rafters so it will be a combination of rafters and...

Blue Hole Starburst tandem whitewater tripping canoe for sale. Red with wooden gunwales, minicell foam saddles. This canoe is comparable to the Esquif Canyon and the Old Town Appalachian. In fact I think the Esquif Canyon and Old Town Appalachian are deliberate attempts to mimic the Starburst...

Anyone familiar with these? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220640110952&viewitem=&sspagename=ADME%3AB%3ASS%3AUS%3A1123#vi-content Haven't seen them on Ebay before.

I'm installing a battery switch to isolate the batteries on the FG. Can anyone tell me the proper gauge for the wires to and from the batteries? 4 gauge cables which are common in auto parts stores are smaller than the FG cables. Is 2 gauge acceptable or should I use 2/0 gauge? 2 gauge=.25"...

Some people have posted on here about converting a standard box to a camper. I saw this on the Flagstaff craigslist. The box is very interesting. Lots of built in storage not found on typical cargo boxes: http://flagstaff.craigslist.org/cto/1807732158.html

Just completed a 7600 mile journey in the FG. Most of that driving was on interstate highways at around 63-4mph. Fuel mileage was 11.3 mpg. That's lower than has been reported her by others and lower than my initial measurement early in the trip. Had 3 kayaks on the camper.

The hard-wired-in-parallel dual battery system in my FG seems to provide few advantages and lots of the disadvantages of a two battery system. The sole advantage that I can see is lots of reserve capacity in cold weather. The disadvantages are that you always have to buy two batteries when...

While I was at the Fuso dealer today picking up a starter, I asked about the manual transmission syncros. Mine are worn. The parts man said they have replaced a number of syncros on Fuso manual transmissions. He thought it had to do with their use as snowplows but when he learned mine were...

As you may have noticed from my plethora of threads on electrical issues, I've been chasing some down on my 99 FG. Related to that problem is a question which I put to the parts man at the Fuso dealer today. Didn't get a satifactory answer. When do the glow plugs operate on a 99 FG? I've only...

When I got my FG out of storage before starting my current trip, the batteries were dead. After quite a while on the charger, they took a charge. The difficulty of getting the batteries charged up seemed odd but I ignored it and I thought I was back in business. But while on this trip I'd...
