    Fuso FG71 / FG83 / FG84 / FG140 / FG637 / FG649 - What do they mean?

    I'm getting very confused at the moment. I know that the FG is the 4X4, but what do the numbers actually denote? My Fuso is a FG83 - I asked a supplier for an item for my FG83 only to be told that they only supply items for the FG71, but they actually list parts for the FG84. Which then got me...

    Show off you Laptop/Tablet/GPS mounts please

    I used to screw / glue / velcro navigation gear to the dashboard but after they kept on falling off, I came up with a 'nav bar' which attached to the handles on the A pillar. I then use Ram mounts to mount all the gear to. First photo is my Nissan Patrol, second is my Fuso:

    Trouble sourcing Fuso FG parts online

    The UAE is the land of the Canter... You won't find any on-line companies but parts are plentiful and relatively cheap. If you know what the part numbers for the items that you need, I may be able to help.

    This is the first box that we have produced - a one piece 50 mm wall & roof with an 80 mm floor. All the bulkheads have been bonded in which saves a great deal of time with the fit-out.

I ended up purchasing a pair of Corbeau RSS seats which are suited for the Land Rover Defender. They aren't suspension seats...

    Fuso FG83C Front Bumper Ideas (Non winch)

    The hitch receiver is not a bad idea at all. It would be a ‘just in case‘ addition which wouldn’t be hard to do.

    Fuso FG83C Front Bumper Ideas (Non winch)

    Not trying to solve a problem, just throwing it out there for ideas that can be incorporated into the design. It needs to be strong enough and at the same time give maximum clearance in case of it being nose down in a ditch.

    Fuso FG83C Front Bumper Ideas (Non winch)

    I'm currently in the mock-up stage for the front bumper of my Fuso. I don't want the complete bull bar set-up which is commonly seen and will not be having a front winch (rear winch only). I have scoured the web for ideas and there doesn't seem to be too many other images out there. Anyone got...
