Upgrading generator again

6500 new to me.

Tried to fit it in the previous compartment with no luck so made a stand and installed it today. Biggest issue is exhaust piping.

Good to have a thin kid to fit under bus

I had to look up genturi. I assume that is to get the exhaust up and away from the bus?

You’re parked in the exact same spot I was for the get together! Hope you had a good time.

Time for a U Joint off-road 4wd kit

I swapped an air locking diff and axle shaft into one of my trucks with I imagine a similar sized diff for around $1500 all in, definitely needed if you drive on anything other than packed gravel or concrete. Especially since you have that non driven tag axle screwing you even more.

I did raise the tag to get all the weight onto the main drive axle and it still did not help

Agreed, we used to have some flatbeds that did all right with a load, but were useless empty. A few of them had diff locks, made all the difference in the world.

Decided to upgrade the kitchen

Saw this on marketplace. I wish I could talk to wife into this!

Well the Bus finally sold to a nice family. I hope they enjoy it as much as we did.

I remember when you told me one day that you were looking for a project, something to upgrade from the slidein camper on the trailer. Spotted the bus back in the trees on Tryon Rd. Your family got a lot of memories from it and I’m sure they will too!
