Mine (a 14 foot Marathon box on a 2002 FG) just has 7 inches (two 4x4s {which are 3.5"x3.5" for you non-US readers} stacked) of wood spacing and mounted with U-bolts to the box's metal channel floor frame. -

I can't speak for CT conditions (salt or not) but my 2002 came from Colorado probably doing the same duty as the CT truck, deliveries year round, hence the need for 4x4 (mine was owned by a furniture store). Nothing more then a little surface rust on the drive line stuff (diffs, ect) that is a...

WOW, a chance of a lifetime!:Wow1: This is one of the only 2 (two) built. And all 'approved' mods to get it 4x4. Darrin when to a mega amount of work to get it done right and approved. I've seen the sister of this truck (John''s) in detail and they are awesome. What a great platform and the...

Not now; 2011-2015 "Transmission Standard equipment Mitsubishi Fuso DUOniC® 6-speed OD AMT with transfer case" So it looks like 2010 and prior for "Transmission Standard Mitsubishi 5-speed OD MT w/2-speed transfer case" (all data from Mitsubishi USA) BUT maybe in the future (note a 2012...

Ahh, the recurring Fuso FGs are "not for off-road". While certainly they are not Unimogs (lets say old school Unimogs) in their prowess off-road, they seems to work well in Australia for the tour companies, mines and individuals. Ever around the world they have gone (yoda). While The Rubicon or...

With black smoke, what about just poor fuel quality not quantity? Also generally removing the thermostat can hinder cooling. IF the thermostat is working correctly, it acts as a planned upon restrictor to control flow in the cooling system. With it removed, the coolant could be flowing to...

I would think they should be the same, but it would be better to let one of the 2005+ owners answer that. Also, an FYI that some have posted that the AC condenser needs to be moved forward just a bit when running 37s. Not an issue on mine, but a heads-up

I have 37s and there is no problem tilting the cab. The wheels need to be straight ahead or there is some interference when tilting

Awesome bike, I'm orange with envy! Sorry to see he is parting with it. It sure seems like a bike sorted to the 10th degree with lots of experience setting the bike, the farkles and the gear up.

What a beautiful truck and great photos. If you end up in Southern Oregon and would like a rest point, send me a PM via this board.

A brand new member is having problems with his 2008 Fuso in China with 'limp mode' issues. He has posted over in the Mitsubushi (auto) section, so perhaps you Fuso experts could follow the below link and give him some advise. (please post there, or Moderators please move post so we do not end up...

You might want to change your fuel filter (the one by the engine). More then one operator has reported a clogged filter has put their Fuso into limp mode. You might be able to do a computer reset just by using the 'clear' connector under your dash. Do you have a Fuso maintenance manual ? It will...

No. There are plenty of the Fuso rims that will track in the same track. The recentered Hummer rims can only go about 3.5 inches, you need ABOUT 8-9 inches or so for the tracks to line up. IMO getting rated/tested rims from a major player like ATW, EC, Alan, is the way to go. Way too may horror...

They can recenter to the Rockwell pattern the Fuso uses, BUT the offset is way-way off if you are trying to get the front and rear axles to have the same track.

Just to point out to anyone who has not read the whole thread, pugslyyy's frame is a custom build frame, NOT a factory Fuso frame. You should not weld directly to the Fuso's factory built frame. You would build (weld) the mounts as separate units and then bolt them to the factory frame...

John has a very nice description of his system for 'washing' his Fuso HERE The external pickup/pump/filters can surely be use for a 'potable water' system with later filtration / purification.

I still believe the subframe repairs will cause an issue down the road (literarily). The driver's side already cracked and the repair with the two welds (red arrows) only added two stress points (linear) with the continuous welds at 90 degrees to the length (welds are in the direction of...

In my search I was 'eyeballing' large truck seats as a possible cheaper way to go. BUT every one I saw had a huge amount of travel/height and were not even close to working in a Fuso. Anyone have an idea of any models of 'large trucks' that might work ?

I'd guess that worst case you could not fill it full (if I remember from your other thread in was 110 gallons total, with most for veggie and 15 for diesel ?). Work your way up with a fuel load that keeps it within were the stock aft Fuso tank would be, and go up in increments from there...

The only input I can give is I have a liftgate on my truck. It's mounting extends 2 feet aft of the Fuso's frame and it is rated at 2000 pounds. I've had close to that on it with no problems BUT that is STATIC. Off course a dynamic load is going to put much more stress on your frame. _ You might...
