We are saying the same thing mate... Anytime you buy a school bus or firetruck or commercial vehicle for a conversion project, the RV insurance (once converted in most places) will be considerably cheaper than what it previously was. You are getting a quarter of a million dollars of vehicle...

I bet a lot of other people would be interested too, as it seems to defy the laws of physics: http://www.rapidtables.com/convert/power/Watt_to_BTU.htm enter 350 WATTS and hit CONVERT and see what your answer is. Spoiler Alert: it's not 9,000 BTU/hr, not even close. Camper box looks great. I...

Your chassis cab probably does not have a replacement value of 220 - 250 thousand dollars..

You need to get accurate weight, speed and pressure info from the OEM. I don't know of a way to calculate or extrapolate that information. A tire temperature system or checking along the way is certainly not a bad idea, but that may require a bit of trial and error. As long as the tires are not...

I would do a, "Let Me Google That For You", but I still had the page open from looking at it yesterday: http://www.sportsmobile.com/preowned-sportsmobile-north-inc/

wow, what a bunch of softies.....sheesh... I can assure you that I could have 10 million dollars in cash in the bank and I would never build that truck or anyting remotely similar to it in scope or size. The whole purpose of having a capable expedition vehicle is to get away, into the back...

Could someone measure the height of the seat cushion at the lowest (presumably behind the seat belt connector) and the highest (front of cushion) points? Also, I noticed there is a huge difference in mounting, trim, style, etc., between the reclining and non-reclining models, so if you have a...

Ridiculous waste of time, money and resources. Someone has a big fat wallet and a tiny $#&(R#

Damn, someone really needs to build a high quality RV box for cutaway vans. That is really about the perfect setup for everything except tight or difficult trails.

A 2wd Fuso FE-140 with a 112" wheelbase will easily handle a 12 foot flatbed. A long wheelbase is not needed, especially if you have a rear mounted fuel tank instead of the side mounted one. The FG wheelbases are not the same as the FE, a bit longer IIRC, which would help departure angle, but a...

As noted, they are available to IMPORT. The double cab 4x4 FG was not offered through Canadian dealers. The importation rule for Canada is 15 years and 25 years for the US. So, if you get one into Canukistan, bringing it to the US is still a no go. WRT the Japanese models being narrower, some...

Good case, as long as you fix the pump rub issue. 261 is manual, 263 is electric shift. This is the OEM case that came with the LCT1000 (Allison)

EC sold you Radflo dampers for a non EC truck or did you buy them from Radflo? Did you change to Betts springs also or retain the factory springs? I won't make OvEx this year, but Alabama isn't too far from me :D

The OP is more than a year old, not sure if they are coming again: 02-11-2015, 02:53 AM #1 EarthCruiser EC4 ("Cocky") leaving OZ yesterday bound for Overland Expo at Flagstaff

You need a load and inflation table/index. Maybe that is what you asked BFG for, I did not search for one for the KO2. There is likely nothing proprietary about their construction that is going to affect weight carrying capacity for a certain size tire. Weight carrying capacity is a function of...

Chris, you typically do not show the interiors when you make a video of a completed van before it goes to a customer. I realise that you are not building a camper, but what do your customers typically do? Are these just vans to go "camping", i.e. carry people and gear in comfort or do they go...

Have you any photos of "accidents", i.e. crashes, animal strikes, etc. ? Curious how the COE trucks do at the front with large bull bars as well as how the RV box would fair. Thanks EDIT: Hopefully, it doesn't look like this:

That is weird about the 403, try this:

It shows up for me in the original post and in your quote of my post, so not sure why you can't see it, Chris. On a two tone paint job like that, do you guys make the bottom section out of something like a bed liner or chassis under-coating to take the abuse off the paint?
