    Road manners of the Fuso or EC - school me

    I'll second the ride comfort and quality. I usually set the cruise control at 63-65 mph. As mentioned in the previous post, it is a comfortable package on city streets with a tight turning radius and surprisingly small footprint. We have a single layer dynamat insulation, but find the noise...

    Full Size Expedition Vehicle Recovery Gear

    Tightens the sphincter a bit just thinking about it. On another note, I did swap over to Masterpull synthetic, added one of their snatch blocks and a couple shackles. I also picked up some large sized ARB straps (one for trees and a 30 footer) to round out the kit. Now I'm ready to tackle...

    EXD 350 - EarthCruiser on flat bed

    Full Size Expedition Vehicle Recovery Gear

    I have done nothing more than spool the steel line in under load, and pull a downed tree off a trail in George Washington NF this past April. They tell me that fully loaded weight should fall around 13k.

    Full Size Expedition Vehicle Recovery Gear

    I have two things on my wish-list. One is replacement synthetic line for the 16.5ti, and the other is Warn's heavy duty recovery kit. Hopefully those two will combine for a decent base to build on in the future. https://www.warn.com/heavy-duty-epic-recovery-kit-97570

    Scott Brady’s weekend with an Earthcruiser

    We typically set our cruise control at ~65mph on our EC-FX. GPS and a friend following me in a SMB concur that the actual speed is about 70mph and returns an average mpg of 13.5 @ 2800rpm.
