Ok now wait a second, I see you pulled and replaced your engine without pulling your bumper off. Do you mean to tell me that I have been doing it all these years thinking the bumper had to come off??  Damm thats the hardest part of an engine pull,(well for me anyway). |

as you know, the nice thing about a bus is you can pull the motor with the bus on all four tires....but you gotta take the bumper off which is more involved than taking the motor out. if you can get the bus off the ground, yeah, you can leave the bumper on. i'm certain that this is the reason so many buses don't have rear bumpers.

Same reason rear aprons disappear.
This is a gorgeous panel.
A Walkthru too.
Don't see many of them where I come from in Oz.

manny, that video, however self promoting is awesome. it really has "l'esprit de couer" of the east coast trailbash and hard core bus scene. lfor instance how many people bring their stuffed animal with them when they go off-roading?

LOL, I like how that implies everyone has a stuffed animal but most don't bring it.
