@@thebigbossdogdaddy754 thanks

@@grahamkearnon6682 It was beautiful

@@erickramos1901 FusoOffRoad Yes, it’s lifted

Or… a lighter truck. Almost 16,000 lbs there and 4,000 on that tire

😂 upgraded suspension Big tires Rides smooth Without that, I’m sure the Model T rides smoother 😂

Thanks!

And it rides better too

Me too

What tires were you able to put on and where are you located? I think that in the USA, the 19.5” rims limit you to one tire

I think you are right about the limitation on tires. I liked the tires that were on it when I boughtit so I just went with the same tires when I replaced them recently which are the "Toyo M608Z". Good wear, traction, handling etc..

@@MMOverlandAdventures what’s the weight rating on those? What does your rig weigh?

Rig weighs14050lbs Toyo m608z max load singles rating 6395

@@MMOverlandAdventures awesome, I’m trying to find 17’s in that rating

😂

I guess the expense would be where you’re staying? Only when I ate at a restaurant did I spend money.

Give Tony at Fuso Off Road a call. He imports the Bull Bar, Roof Rack, Super Singles and Suspension from Australia. www.fusooffroad.com

Thanks Dan, both for your support and brainstorming 🙏🙏🙏

Thanks 👍

And a fantastic idea it was. I couldn’t remember who. I’m going to pin this reply so others can follow you

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you Amrita 🤗

Not fun, but I was looking forward to getting this done now, rather than in the summer. This way, my recovery time is spent driving cross country and I should be good to go by Spring

I appreciate that feedback

It will be a long journey to completion

Not sure who you bought them from, but I was supplied with the proper nuts when I bought the rims

Thank you 🙏

Thanks 🙏

Maybe? Especially if Anti-seize is used, but better to have a torque multiplier on hand

That’s the future plan.

Only on jobs where I’ll be there for a month or more.

Nice ✌@@TheItinerantCraftsman

I just want to say every thing is really looking top shelf!

It’s beyond where I expected. Initial budget was $90k USD. I’m well over that now and the finish line isn’t in sight. It’s why I’m putting the interior on hold for a year. I need to get back to work and refill the piggy bank.

Thank you Amrita 🙏

On this video, the flares are not installed yet and it did not touch them. Once weight got on the truck and before the lift, I did start getting contact on hard - full lock - turns If using 37’s, definitely go for the flares and the lift.

Thanks for your reply ,how many inches require ? I searched online but it is very hard to find them online.

@@deephorizon6910 how many inches for what?

@@TheItinerantCraftsman how many inche car should be lifted

@@deephorizon6910 I just ordered a new suspension kit which lifted it.. 2.5” perhaps? www.fusooffroad.com/product/fuso-4x4-2011-to-2019-rear-suspension/

I have two cab access points, they are called doors🤣 Funny thing is, I’ve been living in a vehicle since 2018 and before that, a kayak. I never had to worry about “wild animals “, or cold, wet, snowy days. I mean, I literally have to get out of the truck to fill it up. How long have you been traveling in yours? By the way…these aren’t vans. Any idea of how big a pass through is? Any idea how easy it is to crawl through one? I did it in my 20’s but I ain’t 20 no more.

@@TheItinerantCraftsman I am sorry, I didn't mean to hurt your little feelings. And yes, I am familiar with pass throughs and some are thought out better than others and some are easier to use and are situated better than others.

@@ExtrovertedCenobite No hurt feelings… just curious as to your experience using a pass through. They transmit a lot of road noise, are difficult to maintain a good seal, are hardly ever used…except in a big rain storm and interfere with the design. If you look at my rig, you’ll notice a giant tool box that would have been eliminated just to have a pass through. The pass through was eliminated during the first stage of design.

@@TheItinerantCraftsman I have owned a camper van and a C Class RV up till 6 months ago, looking at an expedition vehicle and I do like the pass through for many reasons. On of the better passthroughs is a youtuber JOURNEYMAN who has a double door entry and a raised cab making it quite easy to move from the living area to the cab. Well thought out and convenient to use.

@@ExtrovertedCenobite it was a hard sell for me to give up the pass through. Especially since I hate being out in the rain unless it’s a hot summer day. But ultimately, it had more downside than up for me. I know many others who spent a lot of money to make it happen

Thanks I’m excited too, but the build won’t start for a while. Yes, dimmable and warm were important to me to create a comfortable atmosphere

Yes, a wet bath and yes to the rinse off area. Doing g construction work on the road; a way to get clean before going into my home was important. It’s a concept I got directly from Tony Scott.

It’s fun and frustrating and fun 😂

I would have loved to do more myself, but I’ve already been living on the road out of a van for four years and just on the road ( no van) for 7 years now. So no shop

I do CAD ( Cardboard aided Design) I’m hoping to learn CAD more this coming year though

@TheItinerantCraftsman CAD is pretty handy, but you still don't get a feel for the dimensions. The software I use is crazy expensive but it gave me finished weights etc as well

Thanks for watching

Definitely a highlight for me too.

There was a complete suspension upgrade and then I had the front end aligned

Thank you for the compliment.

I was using a Blue Ox system amzn.to/47ZiW8z and while it does have a wireless remote, it wasn’t as easy as when I run a dedicated electric brake controller. That said, you are correct. In fact, that’s what I did for the rest of the 2,000 mile cross country trip and subsequent snow storms. However, this incident totally caught me off guard because of how focused I was on the rapidly deteriorating conditions, both inside and outside the cab.

You’re welcome No reason it can’t be done in a RWD, especially if you stay on road

I’ll email you. What’s your address?

@@TheItinerantCraftsman Our email is provided on our channels about page! :)

Thanks for watching

I did go back out in traffic! Look at part one I was attempting to pull off at a designated spot until the snow stopped. Despite slowing way down, as soon as I exited the highway, the back tires broke loose and the toed jackknifed me. There were dozens of accidents before and after this location that day

Thank you. I’ll be living out of this rig full time very soon. The suspension was upgraded which also lifted it about 4”. It was provided by Fuso Off Road out of Canada and imported from Australia

@WonderofWander nice! Thank you for the company name too!

Nice Larry! Our house batteries are where your truck batteries are. Our truck batteries are in the rear and our Extreme Aire 160 psi with tank is just forward of that. I think our diesel tank is 55 gl. Subbed and liked!

Most big rigs are moving to Super Singles. You can’t air down dual wheels like you can either singles.

Not common. Dumps and concrete trucks are out there. They more sensitive to wear, have lower traction, and generate more heat if they're under-inflated. Fuel mileage also you cant limp in with a super single. @@TheItinerantCraftsman

@@367scotty Then you do you I’ll keep running Super Singles They work for me

It’s called a drive shaft in the USA and since that’s where I’m at….its a drive shaft.
