    FG84 dual cab dimensions

    Crew cabs do not change in size or length between 2WD (FE) and 4WD (FG) series trucks in any model that I have seen. MFTB sells a comparatively small number of these trucks as is. It certainly would not make sense for them to manufacture two different crew cabs for the 2WD and 4WD configuration...

    A shocking Rancho report and plea for other shocks (Sachs?)

    While I am not familiar with Oztech, I would be concerned that any damper not specifically designed to control movement on a #10,000 pound truck, will simply fail just as the Ranchos did. I have heard good things about the RS9000 series and Chris and I talked about this when I was at his shop...

    Nice clean truck. What does the price increase to if the bed is filled with cases of beer? :D

    EXD 350 - EarthCruiser on flat bed

    Can you explain a bit about how this system works when you have a moment? If I recall correctly, drinking water may be obtained from non-potable fresh water sources. Thanks

    What Happened to Rebel-Zilla?

    Agreed on all counts, just wondering why the build thread and SEMA pics were completely removed from the board. Oh well...

    What Happened to Rebel-Zilla?

    The original build thread has been completely removed from the board. It was located here: http://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/144320-Isuzu-NPR-4x4-Beast!-Rebelzilla-by-Rebel-Off-Road/page15 There is a partial build thread here, with some images that I do not recall seeing on Expo, but...

    Tire Air Compressor?????

    Don't mess with compressors unless you are going to get a really mean one, something like an engine driven York 210 would be my choice. You can buy compressors, tanks and parts to complete the installation from Trail Head, Kilby, Oasis, ARB, Puma or any number of other manufacturers and one of...

    A camper worth waiting for

    Apologies if I did not separate those topics properly. The panel construction referred to your camper box (RV), but would presumably apply to DIY fridge construction as well. Now you have me thinking about building a fridge :D

    A camper worth waiting for

    Depending on how much space you plan to allocate for your fridge and if you require a freezer also, you may wish to check out solar or off grid specialty suppliers in Oz. Sundanzer builds them here in the States using LG shells, made in Sweden and the world renowned Danfoss BD35 or a derivative...

    Isuzu FTS700 'Wicked Turtle'

    Great project; any idea on the weight (mass) of the empty cab? Corner scales would be quite helpful, or a very large boom crane with a load potentiometer :-)

    Build your own Fuso FG6 4x4 based camper/overlander!

    Thanks, sorry for the typo; I guess you figured out "to the bottom" (of the box), not "top the bottom", oops.

    Fred the Van. The More We Explore's Adventure Van Build Thread

    Steve, Not sure how I have missed all of the recent posts here, my subscription notification seems to be acting up lately. Regardless, sorry to hear that Fred is gone, but glad to have an update on what you guys are doing. I have not been on your YouTube channel lately, so will try to catch up...

    MB 1120 Coming to America! Purchase, Build and Now Travel!

    There is no need to ditch them. These tires are quite special; once they have a "duel", there will only be one tire remaining on each side and the problem will have resolved itself. Please forgive us sire, for we know not what we do. Could not agree with you more. The US is one of the most...

    Build your own Fuso FG6 4x4 based camper/overlander!

    FF, Would you mind getting a ground clearance measurement top the bottom of your kitchen box? SAE or Metric is acceptable. Cheers P.S. wow, this thread went sideways in a hurry...

    NPR 4wd conversion and camper build thread.

    Chris, I figured you would have a vacuum bleeder in that fancy shop of yours. Can't wait to see it out of the shop. Cheers

    Diving in Head First!

    Allan, I hope your trip is going well. Next time you have a tape measure in your hand, could you check the ground clearance to the newly mounted storage box on the driver's side? I presume you are still on 37" tires? Cheers

    Diving in Head First!

    Allan, If you would quit taking so many pictures and writing these long, in depth documentaries of your work, you would get more done :D What is left on your list?

    UAZ Cargo CamperEdition

    Wow. Very impressive. For those of us who are left in one of the two countries on Earth that does not use the Metric system (FYI: Libya is the other one), here are the numbers: Front Left: 24.5% of the total weight = 1361.8 pounds Rear Left: 28.3% of the total weight = 1573 pounds Front Right...
