 important from Reed's bus Reed's doing a little stripping out you guys know this part of it this is normally a two-man job, but It's actually Reed. I was like how on earth did you get all these things out with one person? So Reed actually is a magician And he has go-go gadget arms that go under the bus That's right. Actually, I'm just kidding, but we'll show you exactly how it does it Give us a little demonstration here because nobody knows how to do this Okay, hey those little levers with the back side. Wait, hang on. Wait, let me get my lunch money first. Oh someone lost their lunch money Well, it's not my dollar it's yours true. So you take these little levers and the seat pops right off Let me throw that out You don't have to get underneath this thing to zip right out. Yep, and these two I'm lifting up Yeah, I see that Look at that one person job one person job now. This is not gonna work on everybody who buys a rusty bus just FYI Well enough force So should do here Freaking loose Just lean against it towards the back. Yep Oh my gosh, look at that look at that one person job He's holding these are flange bolts. I'm guessing they're flange nuts on the other side so they grip into the metal That's how he's getting loose. It's the easiest Reed's making quick work of these seats here great Idea there, dude There you go Then you know one thing I've learned about this bus is that it doesn't really like cold weather starts Thank goodness for the webasto. Otherwise this thing would never start In cold weather. All right over the past couple days. I did some unexciting things change the oil oil filter and also went ahead and did the Transmission filters plural. There's two and I got this Allison transmission stuff. Guess how much this stuff cost A five-gallon pail. It's gonna take almost all the five gallons. It's a special TES 295 that is what it calls for about $50 a gallon But O'Reilly's does a price match with any internet, you know retailer. So got for 220 I know what you're thinking Ouch, that's expensive. You gotta read help me out on the final last day here Let's go take a peek at the bathroom. It is completely finished Oh, we still got installed the handles no big deal and the drain and obviously missing a toilet But as far as the construction part of it is all done just got to add some caulking and And we're good to go Job job well done, sir. Okay. Thank you guys. I'm leaving Okay, we'll see each other on the road Stay with you for like a week Honestly, I feel it's weird.

I'd say it was a pretty good deal. Yeah, so Thank you for everything That's right You guys don't know about that story, but if you meet me in person and ask me about that story It's hilarious a crack up. Well, we loaded the bus up. It looks like I got more stuff than I did before That might be true This is also kind of a a Little bit quicker of a getaway than from Colorado custom coachwork, so I'm just hoping I didn't leave anything under the bus We'll find out real quick So far so good transmission is incredibly smooth Very very glad it made the change before heading out of town Anytime I go on very long trips I was kind of thinking my mind like what could go wrong. What can I replace what needs to be? Fixed or what needs some attention? I'll do it today to share. I will otherwise I'm gonna blast through a little pit stop in Albuquerque I said we're gonna jump around a bit because this is kind of a marathon a sprint But actually I stopped in Albuquerque to see Claire bear Claire bear is here. She's alive and well And also you guys know Dean the school. He just showed up. I took like the most epic nap I didn't sleep well enough past couple nights for some reason. I thought his bus was Smaller than mine, but it actually almost looks the same size or bigger, but anyways, so here's the update I ordered two Carrier bearings if you guys are mechanics, you know what that is if you guys aren't I ordered two parts I'm picking them up tomorrow. I'm gonna pick up some flooring tomorrow and Get to the van build starts today. I'll get there tomorrow the big deal. It's still like a 12-hour drive.

Let's can we see your bus? Dean just did a remodel. So let's take a peek at Dean's bus. All right, so Everything looks the same here Yeah cushions. All right, so Dean went with a pine ship lap, right? Okay, cuz I was telling my horror stories about the tongue and groove. It wasn't a lot of fun I ended up being cheaper too. So really Awesome So, uh, yeah, read the front part that looks whoa, you got the same lights as I got those lights It's soft white or bright. It's the soft, but then I have still my orange You know Lights in there. Oh fun TV if you couldn't tell yeah, that's cool. So Dean Speakers up front. Why are you going east? What why all the upgrades? Where are you going? All because of navigation nowhere, Michael He's been begging me to come to New York. I didn't go there and now they're saying go down to Florida So I'm going there. Mm-hmm. It's only twice as far as or as just as far as going up to Alaska for me So, oh, wow. Yeah, that's true. It's a lot of miles. Yeah Um Very solid very solid ceiling. Yeah, this is so my I'm having issue on that issues But just the nature of the beast being very thin wood. My wood is already, you know Curvy in some places and So Dean's is completely solid. So if you guys are asking me, hey, what kind of you would to use whatever all that stuff Um Get a hold of the school II or just look at his remodeled.
