Yay to a factory tour!

[@scottwilhelme9880]

Factory tour is a must!

[@richardthomas1743]

Good morning Casey , heck yes on the factory tour. That is a pretty cool looking truck and I am sure that it would do great in open spaces. But I am thinking that its size would not be very welcome on wooded trails because of how tall it is. I am also not too sure about those odd drive line angles and low mounted transfer case.. But still a cool truck.

[@woodennecktie]

this is what we call a snow 4x4 , it does perform good , but you do not want to end up bending that transaxle , or staying hooked on that transfercase

[@CaseyLaDelle]

To see more of the EarthCruiser Core Chassis and all the different applications it can work for, check out their video on the truck here kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4jKpKGboMZmf80 !! And while you're at it, take a look at the absolutely amazing overland vehicles they build! Their overland rigs have been around for a long time and these EarthCruiser trucks are very well proven in extreme terrain, it only makes sense to adapt them to the commercial and public service industries as well. This truck is far more capable than any of the F-550/5500 chassis that utility companies and emergency services are currently using. If you want to see a full tour of the factory that builds them, as well as a peak at their overland rigs, let me know and we'll make it happen!

[@Torthak]

Casey unless there going to give you Core unit for free I'd look into the surplus Military LMTV/FMTV, MTVRs. If you go the surplus route your not going to have a limited parts issue, as a lot of the Mil Surp vic's are being turned into overlanding rigs. Parts are everywhere from MilSpec to Aftermarket.

[@glbaker5595]

Yeah I would like to see the shop but I would like to know what the starting price of that is, or is that one of the if you have to ask you can't afford it things

Have you heard of the side puller by in the ditch it looks like it would be perfect for that truck (not a paid sponsor lol) it's just a awesome add on or maybe inspiration. They have a you tube channel as well.

Yes, I’d like to see the build .. I’ve see so many ex military trucks out on the trails - only thing that they have a problem with is a narrow trail . An aluminum tilt bed for recovery with a hideaway wheel lift for off-road recovery- set up with about 5 winches would be ideal

I always like factory tours. Hear me out what if the factory made your recovery rig for the Heavy Wrecker Olympics with you driving. Putting a technically stock rig against all the custom veterans. Good publicity for the company and with your driving career a perfect candidate.

[@ambulingadventures-stan1050]

Now I want one for sure!!! I can dream, can't I??? Thanks for sharing!!

[@jeffreypinder9398]

That is one capable truck, Casey. Perfect color for your company. Would you use ramps or having a tilt-bed with winch system?

[@64TommyG]

A real god crane would do a lot of that if it's big enough and he can use the same equipment he already uses also and then he gets the double capacity! He has already shown a lot of examples when a crane would have been a great tool!

[@jamesrahn2065]

A factory tour would be great, I work as an electrical assembler where we build road striping trucks so it would be cool to see what another shop looks like.

[@brettmorton7365]

Strange that they start as a 6x2... These things (Isuzu trucks) come in a 4x4 chassis.. is that just a case of not being able to get them in the States? Very capable looking rig tho, some nice upgrades! Front driveshaft seems quite low/exposed. Yes to the factory tour tho, need to see more of these and where they go to work...

[@CaseyLaDelle]

No 4x4 available in the untied states

[@brettmorton7365]

I'm in Australia and there are numerous agencies (fire fighting, railways, electricity suppliers... The same market essentially) who use these as factory 4x4s, but I gotta say these units do seem to be tougher than the factory version.

That's a pretty interesting setup. Put a dump bed on it and it would work great for those campsite cleanups. Would be interesting to see what it can do when loaded to capacity. That t-case seems really far back too.

Thank You, Just what we all need .looks like a fine base to build off . A tout would be VERRY GOOD .

[@omribornstein8329]

Just an observation, If they are aiming to the fire truck, bush truck rescue scene, they should better go with 16 inch wheels, or if brake envelope is too large than go with 18 inch wheels. 17 inch tires are mostly the lowest weight rated between these options. I am not sure why is that, but sure enough you will find more off-road worthy higher weight rated tires for 16 and 18 inch wheels than for 17's. Don't know about 37's but 34.5 and 35's are available up to 129 load index for 18 inch wheels. Which should get you around 8000 Lbs optinsl rating for the rear axle (if the axle complies). Always loved forward controls, this one looks very nice. Thank you for the interesting content

[@jwlsngold5026]

A meme of Casey eating his words...now that would be epic!! 🤣 I'm starting a bandwagon for a Shop Tour...who's with me??!! 👍

[@forreststrong797]

That's a cool truck. The drive shaft and transfer case hanging down kinda worries me but it seems like a pretty solid mount on the transfer case and it's not meant for rock crawling. That would make a cool recovery rig. I'm thinking it would be really cool in RV form. I've driven some cab over rigs, I can imagine it's probably a weird experience to get used to offroad on steep angles. It looks fun.

[@Nic26482648]

If you are going to look at doing an RV build, you may need to carefully consider the chassis flex at 8.30 onwards? You probably need to carefully consider how you are going to attach the body, and allow for the flex?

[@iekuieku1665]

With the large wheelbase, I would like to see more ground clearance.

[@danburch9989]

I noticed that the drive shaft is somewhat too low and exposed. High center could result in a bent drive shaft. I would think the breakover clearance should be much higher on a truck like that unless rough terrain isn't in the plan.

Factory tour would be great for us as viewers and for the company to get some face time with potential customers. It looks like it runs just great. Would have loved to see it in sand in 4 low and aired down. Matt needs to see this! He'll be all over it. The driveline looks vulnerable for wheeling but in most other situations would probably work just fine. The round casing behind the right rear wheel could be vulnerable in some situations but if you're careful, probably just fine. It reminds me of a bigified (thanks, Homer) Mog.

[@tammysimons4916]

Had a HINO at work fully loaded and the trans gearing was amazing. quick 1-2-3 ratios for get up and go then taller 4-5 for highway all with great fuel economy. that would be my platform personally to turn into an overland/RV truck. but the FUSO, HINO and ISUZU all have pretty much the same cab and the seating is the only downside for long hauls.
