There's a bloke who goes to Moreton in one, every year, towing a fairly old, large, 'glass half-cabin (21'+ Read 'Heavy') up the island.Originally Posted by Tombie
In somewhat challenging conditions on occasion, in which some 'tillys struggled. Never an issue for him. Showed up in the latest model last year, so must like them.

Yeah, we chatted a few owners at Mundi and did the sums?

Well I said it would be an NPS Isuzu, and now it’s become a Fuso FGB71.
Just waiting for the tow bar to be fitted and complianced, some tinting and then will bring it home and start the build up.

Road-friendly tyres on a 4WD vehicleI'm sure you're planning to replace them (or at least on the front) with rims and tyres more suited to the build and vehicle use you have planned.
They are not ideal on rough surfaces as I found driving this back through Arnhem Land in Nov.

Are you having suspension on the towbar, Mike? It saves the drawbar ftom damage.
If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

Very much so, this is the baseline, the build has 35s (not 37s as I plan to tow heavy and it helps gearing)very noice

Thanks Scott
Not my first triple diamond.
As a lad, instead of a fast car for my first drive I purchased an L300 Expressif was stripped in the back and a bit of an adhoc camper van. That was back in my Camping / Surfing days.
I sold it when I joined the RAN and got my first Suzuki Katana.
When I left I grabbed a cheap Sigma for a while. A fun vehicle!
This is certainly the largest “Mitsi” though.
