The Silver Mitsubishi Fuso FG 4x4 and the low profile removable A-L camper combination seen has served me well. However I went in a new direction with the Silver Fuso truck and it is time to let go of the custom built and mounted A-Liner Expedition camper and flatbed tray/subframe.
The camper/flatbed set up has now been remounted on this super clean White 2007/8 Mitsubishi Fuso FG 4x4 5 Speed with only 62K miles.
Here are the details on each component:
*The Camper...
2015 A Liner Expedition Series with custom flatbed, subframe, motorcycle lift, generator and storage boxes.
I don’t believe this A Liner Expedition was ever used for anything except what you see here. The previous owner who created this combination was VERY skilled and had an amazing shop. His workmanship and attention to design and detail can be seen throughout the marriage of the removable camper unit to the custom flatbed. He really knew what he wanted. Everything is professionally and thoughtfully executed.
~Versatility: First, this A~Liner unit can be removed in less than 15 minutes freeing up the very functional flatbed with removable side rails for other duties. There are 4 camper jacks that slide into each corner which allows you to lift it up and drive right out from under it. It’s a great option to be able to leave the habitat behind for exploring away from basecamp. With the camper removed, this leaves you with an awesome flatbed with the easy function side rails for all your work needs, or for loading motorcycles, ATV’s or building materials. I will definitely miss this feature. So will my friends with pianos and couches to move. The flatbed itself has crossmembers mounted to a lower frame rail that is mounted to the Fuso frame. A normal filler beam compensates for the 8 inch drop in the Fuso's bi-level frame.
~Included: The subframe storage boxes, the external box mounted generator, and the motorcycle lift come with the frame. It’s the complete setup with all the peripherals. (If you wanted to attach this to another flatbed vehicle this would absolutely work.)
The time and materials put into the creation of this flatbed/subframe, motorcycle lift, generator and boxes cost an additional $10-12K. Currently this flatbed combo with the A Liner Camper would cost you north of $35K to recreate…(that’s without the truck).
*The Truck: 2007/8 Mitsubishi Fuso FG 4X4 Long Wheel Base Cabover Truck with only 62K miles…the last of the best! The 2008-2010 series Fuso FG’s are the last of the true 5 speed manual transmissions. After this series, you get the Duonic Auto Transmissions from 2012 to present. Choose wisely.
~This 07/08 Fuso FG was used sparingly on dry desert work sites and was set up to move light cargo from location to location.
~Never a plow vehicle
~Western States NO salt vehicle
~Maintained extremely well with a stack of maintenance records to go with it.
*While this was built in late 07, is not technically ‘Pre-Def’ and is titled as an 08 (the emissions scenario can be sorted out by Tyler over at Road Overland).
~Aesthetically excellent in and out except a crack in windshield.
Everything functional and runs out perfectly and only known issue currently is a check engine light. Allan at Global Overland where it is located will be giving this an eyeball soon.
If you MUST have just the Fuso FG for a habitat build, re-axle and re-tongue the A Liner Expedition...sell it for $18-23k (Current pricing on similar AL is $25-28k). This leaves you with an amazing and functional flatbed Fuso FG to build your own habitat or mount another style camper on if that's what you prefer.
Work just completed at Global Overland:
Brand new zero mile clutch.
All fresh fluids(oil, trans, radiator etc)
While the frame was bare, Allan and I cleaned, pressure washed, and wired any blemish on this 100% solid rust free frame. It was then triple coated with rust protectors and inhibitors. All work was done with Allan to Global Overland standards.
The FG currently has the original dual wheel set up so the first thing I would recommend would be the super singles to improve your clearance, off road performance, and the comfort of your ride. These singles can be drop shipped directly to the location at Global Overland.
Feel free to reach out to me with any questions.
Vehicle is currently and conveniently located at Global Overland HQ in Gunnison Colorado, but please direct all inquiries about the vehicle to me here or over on IG @FusOverland
Thanks

*If you are considering a similar build or looking for an Overland Builder, I HIGHLY recommend Allan and his crew over at Global Overland. His work is impeccable and experience immeasurable.
