Gauge stays dead center no matter what I do. Since it does get used in traffic when it's 100* F outside and I don't a complete history on the vehicle, the fan clutch was modified to turn continually.

I have seen a central mount winch on a Mog; how did you route the cable around the engine and ancilliaries to bring it out the front? Is it centered like a normal fairlead or offset due to the routing? I like the idea of having one bad *** winch to do everything instead of two medium winches...

I have over 280,000 miles (dont remember exactly) on an FE140 and it runs fine, now that the stupid exhaust gas heat exchanger has been removed Gets 15-20 MPG (US) depending on speed and load. I could not find Mean Time to Overhaul, B10 or B50 for the 4M50, but a call to the dealer may garner...

Strangely enough, the cab width at the belt line is within an inch or two. The F-series is quite a bit taller inside and has a flatter floor so it feels more spacious. Some of them have the narrow sleeping shelf behind the seats, which is useful for storage whilst traveling. I have a Fuso FE...

I will buy Fuso parts from one of the dealers above in exchange for HZJ Landcruisers, diesel Defenders and GU Patrols :D

Find out EXACTLY what series of alloy you will be using, if you dont know already and call SIKA. Tell them what the application is, series of alloy, etc. and they will tell you what adhesive to use. The aluminum will literally tear apart before the adhesive fails. MANY automobiles and parts are...

Dynamat is a brand name for MLV (Mass Laminated Vinyl) sound deadening products. It is a well marketed and therefore well recognised name. There are however, much more affordable and superior products on the market, so do you research. Futhermore, the idea is to change the resonant frequency of...

If you want to go with alloy tanks, just have the inside silver plated. Silver is naturally anti-bacteral, anti-viral and anti-fungal. Stainless will eliminate the taste issues, but is not a natural anti-baterial agent.

The rear "shelf" of an Isuzu FTR, which has a similar cab design, is only 18-20" wide and it is high (up over the engine hump) so there is no room to hang your feet down. A car seat may fit forwards or sideways, but I am not sure if that would be legal. It is designed for storage most likely...

I remember watching the original build on PBB. Cool to see it updated here. Very capable rig that does not cost 500 grand. Helllloooo Earthroamer and GXV......

I looked back through the thread, but did not see this posted, so apologies in advance, if I missed it. What are the interior and exterior dimensions on the XP box?

^^ Not surprisingly, at all, the gentelman with whom I spoke (in the USA) about a European fire truck for sale, knew absolutely nothing about the 15 year (Canada) or 25 year (USA) rules for importation, nor did he know that qualifiying (year) Fire Trucks were exempt from import duty (into the...

Top notch construction, well thought out and executed. May be a bit large depending on your travel plans, but it certainly has everything on offer: Exterior Review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOrFNuXdews&feature=youtu.be&hd=1 Interior Review: https://youtu.be/o92oLBsfjVE...

How is Cody getting along? That was a nasty break.

Probably a bit late now, since I presume these photos are behind the actual work beind done, but with the 6L90 being a GM transmission, did you consider pulling parts from a Silverado and making it column shift? Same goes for moving the parking brake to the floor. It would free up lots of space...

255/85R16 is a 33" tire, exactly 33" by the math. If you went with a 17" wheel, then it would be a 34" tire. Please don't ruin your nice vans by using $#)#@ Chinese Optima batteries. Hawker/Odyssey, Braille, Lifeline and many others make quality AGM and Lithium batteries without cheap Chinese...

:beer: :beer: Can you take a few measurements for me whilst it's in that state? Top of engine (or hoses, cross-over, etc) from the ground? End of frame to fan aind end of frame to back of engine? Cheers
