Bump for updates. Met an indy film maker on a flight who films in 4k Red and they were amazing, can't imagine filming in 5 or 6.

A buddy of mine is a bigger Isuzu fan than of Fuso and explored getting the NPS axle from Oz. I dont remember the details as it was 3-4 years ago, but it was certainly not cheap. For the same price or less you could have a nice Dana 60/70 or AAM 9.5 sized axle up front. You then have more...

NPR Conversion I have never had any trouble reaching Rolando. He even called me back on a Saturday afternoon. I think that I just used the number on the website and his email is: rolyfte@aol.com You can also send him a PM, he is on this board. Edit: I did not receive the aforementioned spam...

There are basically two types of sound "control". The first is a product to absorb sound, as in a recording studio or a movie theater, where you are trying to minimise echo/reverb. You can cover every inch of your wall in eggcrate if you want, but it wont do much to eliminate sound from the...

Super clean truck man. Love that utility body. What are you going to do with that? subscribed

You may wish to consider a phenolic foam, which is 20-25% higher R value than poly-isocyanurate. Another option would be a spray on heat control product like Lizard Skin. It also acts a vapour barrier and effiectively blocks heat and moistire intrusion. Lizard Skin can be sprayed up to 1/8"...

(Picture of National seat base) Q: is that one of the bases you just installed? A; A bit hacked to get it in, but yeah that's one of them. 3" of travel (only), but it's nice to be able to dial in anything from no travel to full travel, depending on what kind of a surface you're on. Sig line...

IMHO, there is no need for an air ride seat in a cab over truck. In fact, I hate the way air ride seats "ride". I feel like I am on a bungee cord or a bouncy house. A properly tuned one with a damper would be a huge improvement, but I must imagine those are even more ridiculously priced, if even...

The reason you will hear, "Don't use a synthetic line on a winch" is that 'some' winches have a brake inside the drum. This generates heat when powering out (not free-spool) and when winching in. You have several options: Get a heat resistant sleeve for the first layer of your winch, very...

Can you tell me how much weight the Xplora box adds to the truck? What are the dimensions of the box? I like the design of it all. Cheers

A properly built and tuned 5.9 will be plenty of motor for anything you would ever do with that truck. They are an MDT engine stock and while I would not tow 80,000 pounds with one, something like this will provide 8.3 CTA or DT466 levels of power and then some. Sure you can get 700-900 HP from...

Overall cab height would be great (highest point at top of cab). Interested to see how much it has changed from stock, even though it will settle some as you add weight and drive. Thanks.

^^ What is the wheelbase? If those are 37" tires still, can you measure cab height? Thanks

The first page referred to a "multi-year" agreement between Enersys and Sears, but that article was from 2008. Can anyone confirm that arrangment is still in effect? Thanks

Great song, Howard. Glad you are enjoying your new truck. ABQ is a cool town.

You may wish to find someone who owns a 2012+ truck and take an extended test drive on and off road. I have not driven a 2014/2015 FG, but the others I have driven were turd muffins at best. They are bare bones work trucks with awful interiors, power, etc., There is no comfort, convenience or...

I have :smiley_drive: from Georgia to the Arizona show twice and :wings: once. Only thing left is :bike_rider: So, your excuse doesn't hold any water with me, sir :sombrero: A road trip to the Asheville show was a bit closer, but being in Texas, you could easily do both. If you must choose, go...

I wasn't suggesting a new truck purchase. My business partner and I have about six grand into TWO Fuso FE trucks. That extra $45,000 you paid for a warranty will cover a LOT of modifications. Buy a used truck that is in decent conditon and build it to meet your needs or buy a new $50,000...

A gasoline NPR can easily be made 4WD using a transfer case from a Chevy pickup (4L80E trans or 6L90 trans) Similarly, the auto trans in the Fuso FE is also available in Dodge 4500 and 5500 chassis cabs, again making an easy 4WD conversion. Any competent 4WD shop should be able to do this for...
