[@Nervous29]

Just buy the damn Fuso!!!! You love it, we can tell! #down2mob

[@buckmartin3131]

i love the fact this is coming from Happy, he is such and honest guy that any info you get from him is fact, he would never take advantage of you, you would never get that from a dealer

[@HappysTrails]

Thanks so much I appreciate that 🤙🏽

[@CurtisDrew1]

The thing that impresses me the most about the Fuso camper is where they put the bed right behind the cab so it's like a sleeper on a semi. But also is so easy to access from the camper too. This way you can pull into a rest stop and slide into bed for a nap without having to go outside the truck. I'm more of an Isuzu guy, but the Fuso is a popular truck brand all over the world. So parts won't be that big of a deal. Unless you're talking $ price.

[@realzooflicks]

Go around America in it if you can, that’d be wicked so many stickers to collect.

[@FrethKindheart]

It's an amazing rig. I'd jump on it.

[@Rudeboiifreshh]

So glad your upgrading to a suitable space for yourself I was shocked when I saw how small your jeep build came out I knew everyone and you as well weren’t really digging it I also think that’s when your channel took a dip so maybe this fresh start will jump start a new journey for us to 💯

[@ronthompson2366]

The Fuso looks to be ready and "Down 2 Mob"... so do it already ! Make it happen and move in. Start adding your own accessories and decor.

[@vivian6425]

Wow! Expensive rig upkeep! It’s nice for a change in your lifestyle. Change sometimes is needed.

[@PaulHikes22]

Nice to see a full timer who actually admits they really want a proper bathroom.

[@jacoba7318]

At the end of the day just do what makes you happy Phil.

[@TheGoodTheBadTheRowdy]

Have a 94 like that red one I bought new, its got low miles, lives in our small town haha. My grand daughter just got a e box truck, 7.3L a 2022 with only 1180 on odo or so. so far shes only done pass through door, removed rear roll up, installed offset sliding door with security door, a lift gate. In a few days she will be cutting side for a door, welding her interior tube skeletal instead of heavy wood build. Shes figuring out suspension along with 4x4 conversion. haul a small trailer for her advx 750, tools, extra power, water, and fuel, an extra storage freezer. She has suzuki jimny shes swapping a tacoma 4.0L into, she will also maybe keep inside the trailer as its very small and light weight/narrow.

[@ajaxracing]

I'd keep the Jeep and get a small trailer to pull behind un hook and you still have your camper on the back for when you want to camp out on harder trails

[@tjme]

Lets face it..the jeep is one bad overlanding mama jamba...but that Fuso??? Irresistible!!! Do it do it do it!

[@nzhillbilly6468]

Buy the Fuso... You love it, we can tell how excited you are....It's an amazing rig. Plenty room for his and hers. I'd jump on it. 100 %.

[@largemarge1603]

11:29 2003, one reason we chose this particular 1996 Ford CF8000... ... easy-to-use easy-to-fix/replace Cummins and Allison automatic transmission. . I know nothing about the drive-train in your potential purchase. My chum had the Nissan equivalent... ... but supply issues scrapped the truck after a minor broken part.

[@jaimymac7]

I’ve had rock crawlers, overland rigs but for me at this stage of my life… I’d go with the Fuso! Dream rig!

[@rone7927]

You're getting older now and you don't need to be on such rough roads You just you just do what you what makes you happy and and things will be all right.

[@lawrenceliketheriver]

No question get it - had i known this was for sale and what the ask price was I would have made an offer as well. Unsure what all the offroad mods are on it but once you get past the different style when driving it offroad, the capabilities of this WILL surprise you. It won't rock crawl but will go way beyond any sprinter or even standard truck camper can in this price range. Do a youtube search for Robert Pepper's channel to see what they do with these in the aussie outback if you don't believe me (or just google fuso canter 4x4 offroad). Camper boxes can always be replaced (or get one custom built w/o slides while this one is getting used). What you are really getting is a commercial truck that is specifically designed to handle high payloads, over many many miles of driving vs a normal passenger vehicle yet still fit in a normal parking spot! That is why this and the Isuzu would be my top picks for expedition / full time travel. One off grid tip - get rid of that cassette toilet and replace it with a dual separation toilet instead. Otherwise you will be forced to head back to civilization sooner to keep emptying the tank vs how long your water, fuel, and solar can last. Cheers

[@neitzche1245]

cassette toilet =dig a hole in the desert and dump

[@thedude6906]

About your Gladiator, you said along time ago the reason you went with no cab over bunk, was because it pushed you to make a decision to get going every morning because your bed is all of your living space, and seeing how excited you are about a separate bed from the living space, if you were doing your gladiator over, or just building a new camper, would you opt for a cab over? Do you feel that if you had a separate, permanent bed in the gladiator, you’d be more reluctant to move on?

[@HogTide_Rising]

Hey Phil, I’m loving this Fuso series. If you run this series long enough, you might bring in enough ad revenue to pay for the Fuso. Seriously though, these videos are a hoot to watch. Nice to see Happy in a KZbin video. It’s been too long brother since you posted on your channel. And I’m glad to see you’re selling the Fuso and keeping your awesome Ambo conversion. You are truly an ambo guy. My Ambo conversion is just about done and I’ll be trying to meet up with you again when I pass through AZ on my way to Mexico. If that bike I saw in the back of the pickup is yours, that would be cool as I’ll have my Harley trike with me when I head south. Anyway I did digress. Phil, the video was excellent. Keep the fun rolling, that’s what makes your channel so entertaining.

[@CorradoRacer]

Yeahh great moves, u can add some sort of deck on top and lil foldable outdoor porch in the back🎉. I also know that feeling when u found the right rig....Jeep has to go. Pretty fair trade as well imo.

[@stevez340]

You can keep the dinette slide closed if you don't plan on sitting at the dinette. Slide-outs are not meant to carry any extra weight when in the closed position.

[@robertburgess6100]

Keep it that garage.

[@HappysTrails]

I do it was out for the weekend drive and a bath 🤙🏽

[@theresaweiss8655]

That Fuso is a expensive engine and chassis to fix, you better do your home work !!😊

[@Down2Mob]

Your not wrong, i have been fortunate to speak with some very knowledgeable folks and get some insight before jumping into it. Thanks for the heads up, I do appreciate it 👊

[@ct3282]

Man I appreciate your channel. Videos always encouraging /funny to watch. Debating on direction myself now on selling my camper or holding on to it. I would fix up the Ford put a camper on it and have that rolling. Watch out though if you do. I had my Ford same time frame totaled by female not paying attention. She was driving full throttle on highway with everyone come to a stop. Keep up the content. Thanks

[@regandelve6624]

Buy the Fuso dude much more comfortable for living on the road and off I think it will still have decent off road capabilities and go most places

[@Master-Blaster-4x4]

10:27 longest truck i have ever seen…….put a gfc camper on that bad boy

[@melissasalsbury4705]

Keep that red Ford truck in the garage, bud. Maybe sneakily work on making it a bug-out mobile.

[@HappysTrails]

lol I keep eng 9 in the garage it was getting some miles over the weekend to charge the battery and keep the fluid moving of course a bath before it went into the garage.

[@JohnAdamsJohnakaRED]

That sky is awesome! 👍 C sucker in the shower and notcho cheese? 😮

[@dixonbuttes6564]

This kind of conversion is where the Gladiator makes so much sense. For a long-term heavy tourer, that’s the way to go. 👊

[@BlackShadow233]

I would totally buy you gladiator

[@DIANACULCLASURE]

KEEP IT PRETTY

[@mtnbound2764]

theres not many left like that at this point. itll be worth a pretty penny in a short while if kept pristine. i'd drive it, just not MOB it.

[@revolutionaries007]

how many miles on the fuso & what is the MPG ... I am building out a Sprinter Van (new) for living full-time .. I am building it like the storyteller as I love that platform. I wanted to go bigger but I am going to stealth camp sometimes in cities with my EUC's I ride and I think 19-20 foot 144wb sprinter is right for me full time. I use to ride one wheels but once I got into EUC's I just cant go back although I love what one wheel did for me back in 2018-2020 !!u should try an euc if you can... if u learn you will be flying off road on one. CCheers and best of luck if you get the FUSO-- for the f350 either live in it with a topper or sell it... life is meant to be lived not waiting around.

[@stevez340]

I would be very careful about putting "anything" on the roof. You already have a soft spot on the floor and some sidewall delamination. Clean and check all of the caulking before you start any other projects👍

[@TruckHouseLife]

Nice truck hahaha

[@daneboro6847]

What name will you give the Fuso?

[@flyovercounty1427]

Wabbit season! Duck season!

[@PNWTruckCamper]

That 1 ton Ford. Absolutely put a camper on that. Get some guards and maybe plasti dip the edges for protection but otherwise mob and camp it

[@leonthompson5885]

Fuso all day long .a proper house.

[@thebackforty939]

lol i have an OBS crewcab LB 4x4 94.5 PSD...... luv it but driving a stick in Vegas sux! leave that old truck as is!

[@SortaKindaOutside]

Buy the damn thing or tell me where it is and I’ll buy it🤣

[@Buzz420]

Buy the fuso

[@travisbevelheimer8919]

Needs baby shark air horn from uk. Its on Amazon

[@1usefulmisfit]

It’s a shame your world map on the Fuso is incomplete, your missing a country next to Australia! ...New Zealand.

[@SimonElenor]

Tyres are the widest point on the Jeep.

[@johnpeddicord4932]

Keep the jeep, cheaper to operate,,parts easy to get, as for bathroom , clam shell, portable potty solar shower what's mileage on fusbo

[@Sir_Chuckmyster]

😍Fuso

[@TheGoodTheBadTheRowdy]

Get the mitsu!!!!!!!

[@randaabbott54]

Jeep

[@blurglide]

Cool but too big to fit into a shipping container. Someone needs to come out with a container camper, that uses the max space inside a container. It'd probably need a door at the back to get out after you park it.

[@grinnelljd]

Fitting inside a standard cargo container was one of the big selling points for the EarthCruiser which also had been built on this Fuso truck platform. Unfortunately, EarthCruiser, at least their US operations, has gone bust. I always loved their Fuso based vehicles, but once they redesigned them for a newer platform, the price skyrocketed, and the newer rigs were outside my price range.

[@jameshurd4815]

Tippy???

[@williamclinton2289]

Where's kods?

[@abae693]

Gimme break… the fuso will haul your mullet and fat butt in comfort compared to that small coffin on the jeep.

[@gator701]

Did you buy it?

[@gator701]

The truck has a market value of $47,000, type "fg". Many are over priced The habitat in that condition is worth $30-$37k

[@gator701]

Too much wood can turn into dryrot, lift up the laminate on the floor, and check for signs of water.... One youtuber bought the same rig for $88k, and later had dry rot problems. Some of this comes from condensation

[@gator701]

Mine is a composite habitat, a bit safer. I paid $37k for the habitat

[@gator701]

The rig should have a articulating subframe, if not there will be trouble with the habitat wall seperation. The truck frame twists alot by design.

[@everett3223]

Fuso! Fuso! Fuso!

[@blkmoon5596]

Yeah nothing weird and 3 men sitting in a small camper talking about SEA-SUCKERS 😂😂

A sprinter van is better

Camper on it and Drive it

[@eric3969]

[@offgridgesertdwellers]

Don't waste your time or ours on this Fuso.

[@Down2Mob]

If you feel like watching my videos is ever a waste of your time, please, go do something else

[@offgridgesertdwellers]

You won't be satified with the lack of capabilty of the Fuso. There are plenty of other vehicles that would have that level of capabilty and far more living space than the Gladiator. If you don't want people to answer a question you ask. Then don't ask it. I am unsuscribing because of your reply to my comment. Do better going forward, learned from this interaction.

[@scotttimlick4148]

Your Jeep is Sick but that Fuso is on another level!! Got to think about when you pick up your Gal, which makes more sense? Besides you can prob trailer a light weight SxS to wheel in

[@nurzyboyone8826]

That Fuso is awesome lots of living space.. look forward to future content.. keep on Mobing!!

[@mtnbound2764]

@@Down2Mob it wont be a waste, its something new and different, once in a lifetime chance many of us only dream about! you can always get another jeep camper!
