I leave one of my favorite boondocking spots to head back to AAA Bus in Phoenix to get some suspension work done. While checking in on the spring, I find my dream tow car.
Hello everybody
You are hearing the engine running getting ready to go as you can see behind me. Everything is packed up
Ready to go. We got some solar panels here in the back
Took them off of the roof deck because they're gonna have to be mounted to the roof rather than up there on the deck
thinking about getting a hold of Billy and having him make me some some metal plates are up there the
epoxy looks
fantastic
Still a little
Tacky, so hopefully I don't get too much dust going but that'll add character
so getting ready to hit the road getting ready to leave this beautiful spot of
Ehrenberg, Arizona
Catch you all at Tony's at AAA bus
We can head out by the
Moonlight I
Don't want to wait no more
Yeah, I don't want to wait no more
By a van with a pop-up tan
Give it a name like me, right?
Give it a name
Never pay my
I'll never come back
Even though the road
Don't wanna succumb to be
Get on down
Kick this car in the game
Get on down through the weeds
Every damn state I'm after I don't want to wait no more
I don't want to wait no more
By a van with a pop-up
Hey, there's play like this we might just turn around and go and bring it to him and say hey, you know
We got to do the bushing. Let's just arch these springs the same and put this thing all back together
I think between this
It may be if that one's just as loose as this inside. That's that might where we're losing the engine, you know
Get all new shocks all the way around
It's doing a good job in the one way
Probably the original 2002
It is
They have the bluebird logo on them when they make them. They're actually like Monroe shocks
And they're pretty inexpensive yeah, no, why don't you start going at that thing? Yes, I see it
So you're just
Doing that by hand you were able to wiggle that whole thing
Yeah, oh wow
So what's the item list to get something like that fixed Tony
Make sure hey, you know if you can just put bushings in these things and we probably will tell him. Hey, why don't you just
Check the arch on this thing
And we'll see what he says. I'm going to use some of his guidance on this and say hey, what do you think about this?
Rebushing I have the springs here
This is wasted
We'll go and grab a different set of springs Tony and I about to go on a trip
Figure out what's happening with these leaf springs show you what's happening
so the bus no longer has leaf springs on it since I purchased the bus it always had a lean down towards the front and
Gonna get that remedied possibly put in some airbags. So a leveling system talk more about that later, but
See what Wes is up to
What's up, I am heading with Tony
Great do this
That's a cool rig like tow that behind the bus
So, what do you think it take to tow this behind the the bus
Do I do
How much would it cost me to buy that you think rough estimate
Yeah
Not including the truck love this paint
That has an LS
Goodness amount of radiator in here with stacks and
Four-wheel drive. I'm sure it's got front and rear lockers every little good toy you can imagine in there
Can you
Give us an update on the springs like what what's happening with them?
Um, the bushings are bad inside there. So and then, you know, we have a leaning issue to the driver's side. So
They're gonna try to replace the bushings in there. They already took him for that inch and an eighth lean. So
if they get the bushings in there, it sounds like that will compensate for
Almost half of the lean and then he's gonna arch the spring three-quarters and that should level this whole thing
Crossing our fingers at
This guy is very good at his job. So
Because otherwise if the bushing is bad in there
That's new spring and then just try and find something that works
I strike at least get one of my springs and then bring it over here and let him push a bushing into that
awesome
