    Got the left side good

    The ride side is close. I always have an irrational paranoia I'm going to scrape the pipe and low-side it if I lean much farther. Even though I know I'll drag my foot before the pipe, I hesitate.

    Not a fan of the side pipe. I wish they'd kept it under the seat like they did on the 07/08's

    Got some bus updates as well: I put the bus up for sale recently after I decided it might be a bit too much bus. Then I found out many state and national parks have bus length limits. So, I posted it on Wednesday and Saturday got an offer for what I asked. Nearly twice what I paid. So now I'm looking for a 30' with either a NaviStar DT466 and Allison transmission. Late 90's and early 00's are apparently ideal and there are even 4wd models floating around or there. Not something I'm expecting to find out that I'm even looking for but that would be sick for the back-country I want to be able to stay at. So smaller, lighter bus with bigger, stronger engine. Should pull a trailer easy-least. And having the engine up front now will make engineering a tow hitch A LOT simpler.

    I'm also giving serious consideration to selling my truck in favor of my Cherokee.

    The Jeep is smaller and lighter so easier to tow. Parts are much cheaper and much easier to come by. They've got similar miles, the Jeep is geared and I could crawl box it for $600 next weekend. Lots of pros keeping the Jeep.

    I would be open to a partial part-out.
    We'll see what happens.

    Totally makes sense, I’ve got some items I’d like to claim if it comes to a part out.:cool::cheers:
    I really hope someone buys it as it sits tis a great rig.

    Thanks man I appreciate it. I'd love to see it stay together as well but I'm pretty certain I'll pull the crawl box and sell it separate.

    Delivering the old one to the new owner tomorrow evening. The hunt is on for the new bus.

    Looking for one around 30' with as Detroit Diesel DT466E engine and an Allison MD3060 transmission. Most likely found in late 90's to early 00's International buses

    Bought a bus.
    Sold it for almost 2x what I paid.
    Looking for a smaller bus to fit in national parks with more power.

    Dat one
