Well, on Friday I got a non-renewal notice from Progressive. We have had their insurance for three years. The reason “…has an unacceptable body style”. So what triggered this? Turns out Progressive does not do their underwriting at the beginning, but once a claim is filed, then your folder...

We have found ourselves in a few situations where more power would have been better. Trying to figure out what might give a 2015 FG (still under warranty) more power at all altitudes. Based on what I think I know, the Steinbauer with the prolonged fuel injection, it seems that would not work...

I have spent quite a few weeks this year driving in and around mountains and higher altitudes. I have been on dozens of passes over 10,000 feet. My highest on dirt/gravel unimproved roads was Hagerman Pass (11,925’) west of Leadville, Colorado. On asphalted roads it was Independence Pass...

I bought five 16 X 8 forged alloy wheels from EC about 1.5 years ago. I mounted 315/75R16 Cooper ST/Maxx. From the get go I was never satisfied with the balancing. I posed my problems here on ExPortal. We could never get the wheels to balance. The closest we got to a non-vibration ride was...

I really want to gain some of the low end performance back that would be provided with less tall tires. The switch to 295/75R16’s seems like a viable option. I am looking at the BFG KO2 and the Toyo AT2. The impressions that I am getting from the local tire shops here in the Rockies, that...

I had a nasty little surprise about a month and a half ago. We were driving on some trails in the Arizona Strip, when the red “Eng Sys” light went on. After looking around the truck, what we spotted was the def hose to the def dosing nozzle was hanging. It had broken away where the...

This will be a bit of a convoluted question. I have Cooper 315 75R16 on singles on my 2015 FG. After 1 year and 30,000 miles, I have yet to get stuck. The tires have about 9/32” to bald. I have been on some interesting trails (Shafer Canyon to White Rim Rd to Gooseberry Campsite, in CanyonLand...

I have decided to add new suspension to the Beast. I am looking for something that makes for a more pleasant ride when traveling at 30+ mph. Four wheeling has been acceptable at our weight (6 tons) with stock, but the rough road driving is in serious need of improvement. I asked one of the...

Greetings from Gander, Newfoundland. Came here to replace our flat with a new ST/Maxx. Glad I had all the tools that I needed to change tires- 33mm lugs and not using a hydraulic wrench aren't part of the game up here. Anyway- very nice guys at OK Tire and they had no problem using my tools...

Ladies and Gentlemen, Mesdames et Messieurs, Damen und Herren, from what was once an inarticulate mass of lifeless tissues, may I present a cultured, sophisticated, vehicle about town. The Beast! (Most of the above directly lifted from “Young Frankenstein”-love that movie) Specs: Everything...

Our 2015 shake-down cruise: total miles of 660 in three days. Covering mountains and high plains. With more parts on order, the motorcycle lift system being painted and the head-ache arch being contemplated, we decided to take-off for a shake-down cruise to Sugarbrite Canyon, New Mexico. We...

Just stumbled across this newish article. Might be of some interest to us here in North America. http://www.fullyloaded.com.au/product-news/1502/fuso-adds-improvements-to-canter-fg-4wd-truck/

Here are some pictures of the just installed fixed bull-bar. For me, it turned out as well as I had hoped. I figured, since at least 50% of the time I enter a room and forget why I am there, not having to remember to lower the bull-bar was an excellent idea for me. And for the mechanic...

After seeing all the pictures and hearing the horror stories of getting the nuts off a FG, I decided to buy this "Torque Multiplier Truck Trailer RV Lug Nut Wrench" at Amazon: plus a 41mm impact deep socket. Except for having to make a insert for the inner wheel nut- the thing worked like a...

Hopefully by tomorrow, the last of the frame will be finished and the Bigfoot will be on. I think it looks great. We think the sheer strength will be around 25 tons. Very happy with the design and build so far. Mark

I posted a thread asking about charging house batteries that have received more than a few excellent answers and solutions. But what I have found out is that the 2012+ FG's are enough different that many of the solutions to charging my house batteries are unworkable: at least at my knowledge...

Looking for a simple method to charge the camper house batteries while driving. We just got off a boat that I had set up to charge the 930 AH of house batteries through either 6 x 140 watt solar panels (could get up to 55 amps per hour at high sun (tropical) or 150 amps per hour charge from...
