    My FGB71 build

    I've unlisted it over the Xmas break, but here's the listing that's just expired. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/235836247359

    My FGB71 build

    Our panels are 60mm thick, so have good R value. Even without heating on, the interior GRP surface never feels as cold as outside and we've not had condensation on any walls or ceiling. Once the box heats up inside, it's easy and efficient to maintain that heat, regardless of your chosen heating...

    My FGB71 build

    Over to Spean Bridge - we did it in the snow. Then up the right hand side of Loch Ness to Inverness, avoids all the tourist coaches.

    My FGB71 build

    Yeah. If it sells for what I'm asking, it sells - if it doesn't, it doesn't. We are looking to do another house build, so it won't get used much while that's going on.

    Importing a Crew Cab Left Hand Drive Mitsubishi Fuso Canter 4x4

    Just checked out the JDM Offroad website - curious to know who is making the custom 17" Canter rims for them.

    Isuzu frame mounted water tanks

    If mounting to the chassis, could the tank be on a frame that is static mounted to the chassis at one end and gimbaled on the centreline of the tank at the other end (maybe a large heim/rose joint)? - essentially like a 3-point subframe is.

    Mitsi Rosa tacho issue

    Didn't get round to it in the end, and my Dad reckons he drives by engine noise anyway, knows where the sweet spot is. We had other repairs to do anyway. It's the second time they have owned the bus - they sold it three years ago because they thought it was getting too big for them (they're in...

    Mitsi Rosa tacho issue

    Back in the UK, after a forced extension of eight days due to the floods in Dubai. We were very spoilt with the ride quality of the Rosa with it's torsion bar independent front suspension - driving the Canter back from the storage facility was like driving a full concrete truck. It also...

    Mitsi Rosa tacho issue

    Currently in NZ and have been getting about in my parent's Rosa motorhome. It's a 1997 with the 3.9l engine, and is for all intents and purposes a Canter chassis and engine. The tachometer randomly cuts on and off, possibly when going over bumps so there could be a dodgy connection somewhere...

    My Fuso4x4

    Do you know what weight loading TEJ have certified each wheel for (in kg)? I would be interested in buying a set of wheels. They are 17 x 10, correct? Do you know the offset (ET in mm)?

    My Fuso4x4

    6500kg / 4 = 1650kg. -- but it is not that simple. I have already been through the certification process to convert to single rear wheels in the UK. The UK uses the same regulations as the EU, because trucks from UK travel through Europe and vise versa. Upon certification, a new weight plate...

    Looking for opinions/comparisons of the various Japanese cabover 4x4s

    The distinct advantage of cabovers, and vans too, is the greater habitat length per wheelbase. To get anywhere near that, a single cab long bed F-series/Ram/et al is needed, and in Nth America they are probably a better choice given the huge workshop networks and aftermarket upgrade market there...

    My Fuso4x4

    Interested. What is the EU/TUV/DOT certified load rating for each wheel (in kg)?

    Fuel tank check valve

    The tank was definitely subjected to a vacuum implosion. Inspecting the breather valve showed it working (just), so I suspect there has been moisture in the valve which froze. I've installed a new alloy one. I found a custom tank builder, who luckily builds a number of tanks for certain...

    My Fuso4x4

    If your Euro-spec Fuso is the same as mine, it probably does not have a low- range transfer case. If you are expecting to 4x4 in terrain where such a steep departure angle is necessary, then a Euro-spec Fuso is probably not the best choice for the base vehicle. 6500kg / 2 axles = 3250 kg. The...
