I recently had a conversation with a mate of mine who was interested in buying a “new to him” SUV for daily driver, hauling kids, mountain biking, camping and road trips, going to the home store, etc. He was looking at trucks and SUV's that were 2-3 years old, so as not to take that huge hit on...

bumping this for a question: You mentioned in an early post that you would be towing a 20' trailer sometimes. Do you have any pics of this setup with the flatbed or even with the camper? Thanks

Is there any ATV/UTV riding available in this area that you know of?

Here is a link to a great ride from ADV, with quite a bit of dirt road riding in Maine and New Hampshire. Both look like great trips...

I have been through this debate many many times with my self and friends and on forums, etc.. I have concluded that for me, a small tow rig (FG sized) with a small fifth wheel toyhauler (24' floor) is the way to go for North American travel and here's why: The trailer can be used as a base camp...

What is the wheelbase and tray/bed length here?

Never understood why people think a very flexible frame is "good" or "cool". It is the JOB of the springs, coils, dampers, airbags or leaves to articulate and move and sway to keep the load relatively level and the tires in contact with the ground. Contrast this with a modern family sedan or...

the simple solution to cleaner emissions with a diesel engine is to ad in an HHO system. The only "additive" is distilled water and the introduction of "brown's gas" into the system results in less particulate matter and NOx, as well as creating a more complete combustion. This was proven over...

I would be concerned about this... that motor is a raging POS, but the issues are known and "fixable". Whether you leave the states or not, they need to be addressed.... like before you leave your driveway or you may find yourself stranded. Cool base, looking forward to progress.

Renee confirmed they dont care about the platform on which the box is built... SO, if you are concerned about emissions or lack of power or lack of low range, etc.. just take them another truck and have that box built on to it... Would save you a ton of $$$ too.. At that point, I may shy away...

A good friend of mine owns a metal fab business and has built flat beds on cabover trucks in the past. PM me if you are interested. He is in Northeast GA right on the SC line.

pretty sure the 209/269 is for the Dodge 5500 that was there also.. I dont recall the price on the Fuso, sorry...but I thought I "heard" in the 150-160K range, maybe not... That is the first one off the line IIRC... There are issues with power (its a dog turd on the hwy according to the...

check out an air ride forklift seat that I posted in another thread, even if not from this company there has to be products like this in the states: http://www.kabseating.com/dbdocs/AustralianForkliftBrochure_2012.pdf

check out their forkiift application seat, it is limited to 60mm of travel and does not have the tall base or long travel like you would on a motorcoach or bus application. http://www.kabseating.com/dbdocs/AustralianForkliftBrochure_2012.pdf

8 - 12 MPG (US) seems much more realistic with that truck.... I was wondering about the 20's and 30's for MPG, even imperial.... If its that good, I need an Atego quick ;-)

been around the web for years... i remember reading the first blog as Rob was building Whothehellizit (sp) which was the first rig. Then he built a second smaller one. He has traveled extensively throughout Australia in it, not sure if its gone anywhere else..., seems like a cool dude with a...

your dealer is most likely an idiot, as so many of them are. The 6.4L problems are well known at this and time and all of the common ones at least can be easily fixed if you are so inclined: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gN7IDiV2aUM http://www.backglass.org/duncan/ps64_manual/...

Wow, that is excellent, thank you very much :beer:

Hello and welcome Is the truck pictured at the top of page one your truck or the model that is being constructed for you? Can you provide dimensions of the living quarters portion of the vehicle (length, width and height and weight if known) thanks

not sure about brilliant, but there is some info in here and I have in my notes somewhere a small air bag from a commercial truck (lorry) like Kenworth or Peterbilt. It may be in that thread, not sure: http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/tow-rigs-trailers/922321-air-ride-superduty-cab.html It...
