Hey Matt thanks for talking to me. I can see more pics on my home computer. What is the build thread under though? More pics I assume...?

2 Boys=Crew cab Just throwing in my 2 cents. I have been trying to find a way to get the best of all worlds with a cabover. Take an FE or NPR crew and put a 5th wheel on the back. The 176" wb model would be needed. I found most 26' units with bunks, no slides, weigh about 7000lbs. If your...

crew cab dreaming Hey there. Fellow BC guy here in Victoria. I would like a crew cab 4x4 cab over for a camper. In searching I also was looking at these JDM ones. A couple of questions: What kind of GVW is that Elf you show rated for? Are any of the Elfs, or Canters close to the 14500 lbs...

Right on! Thanks Jon. I was just coming in to the house (that I am building) for a break so I will look through this later. I have been to Pirate before, some mention of Mitsus and Isuzus in the posts, yet ironically, they often refer things back over to here for more info! Yes, I didn't...

Hey there. Well, I like your ranges of price there. If I was to just pick out 3k labour, 2k axle and 1k transfer case its only 6k. One of three older dirtier NPRs with 80, 100, and 110 (miles) respectively went for $5500-4000 at the latest Richie Bros auction. That would put my truck at only...

Hey Jon, Let's assume I wouldn't do any stretching of any frame. I would just keep whichever wheelbase I had, either the 165 Mitsu, or 176 Isuzu. And if my plan was to work out, maybe I'd need the NQR at 17,500 GVW. What I am really interested in is a guesstimate on the price of the...

Richie Bros Hey thanks. I have got a watch on some of those and some NPRs as well. I hope I can find out what they go for...

Crew cab 4x4 on a budget Hey Jon, Sorry, you are right, I have the Isuzu WB of 176" in my head. Mitsu's longest must be the 165". Just to refresh, I have an F350 4x4 crew auto that I carry a camper. I would really like to just have more room in my camper with a similar truck. Once in while...

I believe the extra part of the crew cab just takes up the remaining stepped frame portion that is exposed. (As this is what they do in the rest of the world.)

Crew Cab Dreaming Hey, Dzltoy, I have been looking at this for a while too. I was quoted, from busbees about $4000 for the crew, and after talking to a fab shop outside Vancouver it came to $13000 to: -lengthen an FG frame (straightforward), swap cabs, and pay for the crew. You ended up with...

crew cabs Did anyone catch on here what the wheel base options are? Particularly with the crew cabs?

Mpg/gvw Hi, what is the best MPG you can give? And GVW? Thank you.

Crew Cab Dreaming Ah, and if you have any of the big wig's ears, they ask the perenial question of why they don't give us a crew cab 4x4 with a longer wheel base option in an auto! Can anyone say FE crew 4x4 auto! One day...

Crew Cab 4x4 Dreaming Hi. I have been wanting a crew cab cab over 4x4 for a long time. So, about a month ago I called up all three, Isuzu, Mitsubishi and Hino USA. I just wanted to hear from someone why they don't give us this option in N America. I can't remember his name now but the Hino...

Crew Cab Dreaming Hey there. Forgive me, don't know your first name, but I have been looking at the portal for a while now. I would love a crew cab FG. I wondered if there was anything in your stuff from MFTA that talked about finally bringing in a crew 4x4?? (How do you get that stuff...
