Also, the truck just got featured on Nate Murphy's Youtube Channel, with another tour here:

Thanks! It's been a ton of fun, and treated us well. It's a 4.9 Liter turbocharged diesel engine with 147 HP and 347 foot pounds of torque. The dinette when in bed mode is 43"x82"

For sale is a custom 4x4 expedition truck, designed to support adventures across the world. We spared no expense in building this truck, and are sad to see it go, but we must allow for it to go to someone else. We have lived in this truck full-time for the past year, and have taken it to the...

Couple questions: 1. Still for sale? 2. Which engine? Any modifications to it? 3. Short bed or long bed? 4. How many miles on the truck? 5. Where is it located? Thanks!

Thanks so much for the detailed measurements. Seems like I would need to remove a lot of height to fit the door of a high cube. I am going to look into the possibility of wooden wheels.

@mog we're on the same wavelength I think. @sabensky let me know when you are able to confirm the measurement! Thanks y'all.

Oh wow! Thats so close. 8 feet and 5.5 inches is what I've seen printed on the side of the container(2585 mm). I imagine I'd be able to let some air out of the tires to get it to fit. If you are willing to remeasure that would be awesome. And if it fits, we'll be in contact:)

Sweet Rig! Do you have the overall height when the camper is lowered? Wondering if this will fit into a high cube container.

Such an incredible rig! I’ve seen this one in person and know the attention to detail that Allan puts into his vehicles.

@soaringpotato I would also be super interested in where/how you found the parts catalog. I have the 3k page shop manual, but it doesn't list any part numbers, except for the proprietary tools!

So we finally got around to shooting the interior of our camper! We were under the gun to move into it, as our apartment lease was ending, so there isn't much documentation of the process. But it was very similar to the van build process, which is well documented across the internet. Biggest...

Fuso Box Build 3 of 3(to accomodate photos) Next, we fabricated and installed these beautiful aluminum fenders onto the truck to keep mud off the truck. We also installed the mini split units onto the front and rear of the truck, and connected the lineset. This was honestly a pain in the...

Fuso Box Build 2 of 3(to accomodate photos) Cutting the hole was the fast part. We next needed to custom fabricate 3 aluminum frames that would allow for the accordion-like rubber to close the gap between truck and cab. Allan created these pieces, which fit together great. These frame...

Fuso Box Build 1 of 2(to accomodate photos) Hey friends, Been a while, and we've been busy! We've been so busy, in fact, that I have neglected to add anything here for way too long. That changes today- prepare for a long post! Today I am going to talk about creating the box on the back of...

@westyss super interesting findings. I do have similar questions to @kerry. I also suspect we have a slight grounding or alternator issue to solve- the coolant temp light occasionally flickers for us when we keep the truck at constant RPM. Sounds like others have dealt with this as well...

@gator70 Thanks, The Earthcruiser Core trucks do look amazing. Shortly after this conversation, we pulled the trigger on a 2007 Fuso FG140, and built a box on it with Allan at Overlander Global. We finished the box in August, and moved into it full time on Sept 1. Been a great platform so far!

Update! We installed the new Radiator. We pulled the mounting bracket that holds the bottom of the radiator out, chopped it, and then welded in a 4 inch plate on both sides. Then we re-installed everything. Needed a longer lower hose so we installed a flexi hose from Napa, which seems to...

Quick update: I went ahead and ordered a stock sized radiator form Parts Geek. Unboxed it yesterday, and it's a couple inches too tall(width is right, and inlets/outlets seem properly placed.) Appears that their parts catalog thinks that the radiator that fits the 2008 model also fits 2007...

Price Lowered- Bump!

We've been managing the heat to stay under 210 by running the heater on the passes- not ideal, but it works for now, and haven't seen it above 210. Open the windows, crank the tunes, and embrace the heat:) We also downshift to get the fan pushing max amount of air. 35 MPH in 3rd gear seems to...
