That was my plan. My 'metal guys' are very accommodating. I will try and use .125" walled tubing as my wheel/tire combo is 238 lbs (385/65-22.5 on an Alcoa), but I need to spread the rail/tracks the full height of my camper as it is composite and I will only be attaching to that (no truck...

Yup, I think 22.5 x 12.5" is the 'only' width for super singles as the 22.5 x 14.5" would be way too wide and interfere with a bunch of stuff. The 'factory' 8-lug 22.5 dually Alcoas are 7.5" wide with a 6.28" offset. Super singles are normally in the 0-3" range I forgot to mention that the...

I'm running 385/65R-22.5 Hercules Ironman I-402s (42"x15", 176 lbs) on Alcoa 22.5 x 12.25 super single rims (62 Lbs) with a 2.75" offset (my spares are 0.56" offset). These have no wheel weights, nor other forms of balancing and run very smooth. The wheels are rated at 12,500 lbs per wheel, and...

Zuber, you seem to know your steel. How about milling a slot in square tubing to make the channel? This was my plan as square tubing is easy to come by in my area, and cheap compared to other options that have to be ordered and shipped. Blue- 2 x 2 tubing with milled slot (not full length) Red -...

1979 Mercedes 1017AF with a removable 12-foot composite camper (formerly on an U1300L Unimog) In flatbed configuration

I used those on my truck (5-step version), very lightweight and I used the supplied handrail. For a Dog-O-matic, you would need to put carpet/rubber, etc on the steps as they would not be very happy with the traction of the aluminum steps. I think your current Little Giant steps probably works...

Great looking rig and even a better-looking dog ;) It is nice you have them color-matched.

Great video, and great work on being able to lift from the ground to bed height! My jacks leave mine 2 feet up, so ground-level is awesome. I sure which I could load mine that quick ;) GWTS

So with the switch from the service body to the flatbed with custom boxes, is the 'Dortal' (Dogs+Portal=Dortal) still going to be between the cab rear window and Atlas topper? Are you just building a front wall for the flatbed/custom boxes out of a sheet of aluminum or something fancier? And how...

It seems to be a very fast and loose 'measurement'. While most people would think the outside radius (outer tire) would be the most useful, sometimes the inside radius (inside tire) is the 'given' measurement as it sounds so much better. AND with a cabover truck, are they measuring the radius of...

Great looking truck! You did a wonderful job upgrading the interior of the cabin. Hopefully, you keep some of that wood as you are going to need to carve a 'big stick' to beat people off. My buddy just sold his '97 12 valve which was no way as near as nice as yours (standard bed, no awesome...

Disclaimer - C4500 Kodiak, so unlimited room and capacity I like full-length shovels if the room is available as they have so much better reach and leverage. I carry two so twice the amount of digging capacity. Also 'mud' shovels are much easier to use in the mud. They have holes in the blade...

B85 a member here has been building a rear rack system for his truck (an LMTV). It might be a little more 'heavy-duty' than you are looking for, but he has it very well documented, so perhaps adaptable to your Fuso application? Link to B85's build, page 31 Update - you might also look into a...

TDIVan, great write-up, and a very clear/understandable diagram. (y) My friend uses the Webasto heater (same style as the Espar) on his truck (17-foot cabin). His system was set-up up a little differently. His schematic And a few more diagrams I have 'collected' (click to enlarge)

How did it go at Highway Products? I have not read about a rash of bank robberies in Oregon, so it must have gone OK?

I've looked at them to replace the 'bump stops' on the front of my C4500. I don't need more 'load capacity', but just a progressive bump stop would certainly help the ride. Both Timbren and Sumo only list their relative products for the 2x4 trucks, not 4x4 like mine, so more research is need on...
