    Mitsubishi Fuso 4X4 2013 Camper. ***Price drop***

    Canadian vehicles can be imported to the US. In 2009 I imported a 2003 model-year truck. The best it to find a broker to do the paperwork and get the inspections done. It didn't cost much, was well worth it compared to buying the truck in the US market.

    2020 GXV Patagonia

    For an American, you can basically never bring it "home". No way to import it to the US for a few dozen more years. While I agree that some of the products made "overseas" are better, if you want to use it in the US at all then you are stuck with buying a 25+-year-old chassis, or American-sold...

    Landcruiser build for trip up to Alaska

    As far as a custom rig, I would not worry about it too much. There is a Napa behind every other tree, and there are many customer 4x4 shops all over. There are tons of Quigley conversions running around here as well as home-built oddball stuff.

    MPT-81 tire siping

    Tire siping is like taking a razor blade to cut the tread of the tire. For smaller tires you put the siping close together, the largest the tire the further apart the sipes should be. In the tire shop, we had two knife forms, one for passenger tires and one for commercial tires. Saying you got...

    Fuso FM260-Based Expedition Vehicle

    I have to say that is a nice layout and one I had not even thought about in my quest to build a vehicle. Usually, you see these with an E/W arrangement and not a N/S layout. You have shown that this provides for more counter and drawer storage space. While the N/S does not give you as much...
