Yo Ferret- Glad to see you putting a ton of miles on your bus. So cool you guys were able to sneak away and cruise up to Red Barn during the coastal cruise.
The real question is- were you wearing your standard attire of flip flops and sandals when it was raining out during the coastal cruise?
also- You should post pics of when you took your barndoor off-roading in Johnson Valley!
See you this weekend at Featherly

I figured this thread could use a little update. I've been enjoying the hell out of this bus. Johnny Danger built 1 hell of a bus and did a great job on things.
All I've done is swap the wheels for OG Torq Thrusts. They were 7's cut down to 4 1/2".
I've had the Bekowa rack for years and years. It fits the look perfectly.
I just swapped in a new 2180 that has a few fun parts added for that seat of the pants kick.
Here's a few pics of her new life.

Yes this is the 4th one I know of coming to So Cal. However this one was in the works for a LONG time. The shipping process took a while.

Thanks Scotty! I´m more than happy with the result. Just thinking about to go with the short axle tubes in the rear end, to give the wheel slightly more space. But not for now..

The Engine got a little update. I was trying to get the best setup for the TDE Carbs but couldn´t make it. So i switched the setup a litte bit to get it more roadworthy.
And i finally found me some 7J for the rear.
