Thanks. Great pictures. Just for the record, the Fuso/Canter is an FG not an FE. The FE is 2wd, the FG 4wd.

Filling in some blanks......

#2 - Dodge Cummins based Camper, built onto the chassis (not a slide in truck camper) Cost was about 75k plus truck.

Looks like Marc's XP Camper Heck of a nice guy, and a danged good cook too!

#1 - Custom Camper built on a Deuce, for sale at $150k

Owned by the owner of or somehow connected with Unique Metal Products aka UMP.

#3 - NAS FJ60 converted to Diesel with a 3.0L Powerstroke motor from a Ford Ranger in Brazil. The motor was purchased directly from the factory and installed by TLC. The transmission is HF55 with a custom adapter plate and the factory transfer case that came with that transmission. The truck was completely rebuilt and restore and was in excellent condition.

Desert Rose's FJ60:
It's done! 3.0-liter turbo-diesel FJ60 from TLC - Expedition Portal Forum

#3 - Pretty unusual four door (without rear doors) Ford Ranger with a flip top tent. I dont remember where it was from.

There's a build on POoR somewhere, as well as on Expo.
Safari Pacific - Latest News

#1 - 2 - Super cool Australian dude who lives in OH, imported this 70 series into America from Oz and proceeded to swap in a 1HZ motor into it. He builds and sells the trailers that are in the back ground of the first pic with a tent on top and the beds that are attached to the truck. They sell for up to 30k depending on options.

The rear is a tray back, so all of the Rubbermaid type boxes are left exposed. They are however locked to the bed and they are on heavy duty slide outs. There are air, water and fuel tanks under the tray and connections for water, gas and power around it. The RTT is a Maggiolina, one of the best.

Looks like Campa:

#3 - Euro Spec Diesel 110 with fixed high top roof conversion.

I *think* that might be a Dormobile.

awesome pics, man. i spent two days driving out there with my friend only to have to fly home friday for a family emergency. there's always next year.

i did get to talk to the cool australian dude and crawled all over his truck. the engine he swapped in there is actually a 1hd fte. it's a much cooler engine.
