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.

My husband and I are going to be buying our bus through AAA Bus. Thanks for your recommendation, Chris! We are looking forward to working with them!

@ghostdawg4690 5 лет назад

AAA has good help there, always priceless having an honest mechanic not out to take advantage.

@aaronschultz7510 5 лет назад

We bought ours in August from AAA. Great guys.

Wow that was nice of Tony to take time to go with you!

Here in Chile when you need new leaf springs you head to town and go to the spring shop and they hand make you a set and install them on the spot. Yea it takes a day or so, but it is cool to see it done none the less. It is pretty cool that they also can beef up your leaf springs and add to them an additional leaf. Jim in Chile

Chris, I'd love to see a series where Tony shows us all a bunch of things relative to detailed hands on skills for maintaining our buses for safety and reliability, especially pushers. A series on tires, brakes, suspensions, air bags, engines, cooling systems, etc. How to DIY, and when it's smart to pay a pro.

@larrym6019 5 лет назад

And an area of special interest is the gauges and sensors. Replacing and making those better, and what to watch when running and driving the bus.

@kevinhornbuckle 5 лет назад

This mechanic is on the ball. You are going to really like the improved suspension performance.

@johnclamshellsp1969 5 лет назад

I talked to Tony at AAAbus yesterday on the purchase of a bus this year. That man knows busses and way beyond. The era of auction hunting and CL searches are over. Thank you for putting up the video of the cylinder test.

@keithlance1 5 лет назад

John Clamshell SP same here, I talked to him about a month ago for a good 20 minutes. We want our bus from him at AAA Bus. Seems like an all around great guys there. Can’t wait

@theoffgridskoolie 5 лет назад

Yep, I wish I would have went here for certain...

@bryantford3054 5 лет назад

Man! I love that Jeep!! Glad you're getting the suspension fixed. It's not only a safety & comfort issue; bad shocks will wear your tires unevenly. If I remember correctly, you spent more on those 6 tires than the bus. (See? I'm a faithful subscriber.) 👍🏻

@wesleygabel6296 5 лет назад

Great update. Good to hear Skin & Bones in your vlogs again.. Love them.

@mikecolesvids 5 лет назад

You always have such great tunes in your videos, so chill 🏆

@TravelingwiththeGramkracker 5 лет назад

That is the spring shop I used last year and they did a great job on my rig.... I was parked across from you at this years schoolie palooza ( metro valley van)

@Catmoore60 5 лет назад

Glad you’re getting the wear and tear repaired...nothing says, ‘This blows!’ like being stranded somewhere when a worn out part goes.

@Dailyinput244 5 лет назад

Those old Jeep fc’s are awesome.

@genesiesky3756 5 лет назад

I have respect for guys that will get under vehicles and do not mind getting their hands filthy dirty. I was always a person who worked with his head, my brother worked with his hands. Can you give us an update on Kobuck?

@MzShugr 5 лет назад

You know you watch too much RU-vid when you are driving to your good ole CG Walmart and your mom says “is that a skoolie” and you reply “that’s CHRIS TRAVELS.....”. Goals. Can’t wait until my bus is ready.

@kevinhornbuckle 5 лет назад

Those air bag supplements are a great idea. Have a look at Kelderman retrofit packages for schoolies. Although that mechanic can get you set up for far cheaper, no doubt.

@Scorpiomary 5 лет назад

What a rad green truck!!! Thanks for sharing your vlog

@TripleXclown 5 лет назад

That is a Willys Jeep FC150 "Forward Control" They can get really pricy! But amazing vehicles. Keep us posted when you are back on the road!

@Jumpingoffthecliff 5 лет назад

Haha that would be the toad to get for sure. If your bus breaks down you can have the road tow it!

@cabinontheriver8341 5 лет назад

lol, Man they still have not finished the Overpasses at the edge of Phoenix? They were working on that when I moved away in 2012.

@theoffgridskoolie 5 лет назад

Haha, nope. It was the same when I was here in 12. Lots of projects like that.

@keithbanks9294 5 лет назад

Hey Chris, broski 🤙😎 great vid, out of curiosity, how Kobuck doin? I miss seeing you guys together🙏

@theoffgridskoolie 5 лет назад

I have him right now for a week or so. Next video we are hanging out ;-)

@MonkeyBoyKyle 5 лет назад

If you don’t mind me asking, why did you take the panels off of your deck rail? Were they not supported enough? I thought that was a great design idea and was happy you and Wess were able to figure it out. I was going to incorporate that into my design but am wondering if there’s a practical reason not to.

@theoffgridskoolie 5 лет назад

Coming up in the next video. But basically the issue was uneven solar exposure.

@natewinkler7906 5 лет назад

at 2:10... slow it down Hot Rod. There's good and decent people on the road... Oh wait, it's Wess. ;)

Hi. Did you have any issues with AAA insuring your converted bus? I'm in California

@lawrenceconstantine7735 5 лет назад

Does Wes bus ever get dirty it always looks spotless or the color really hides the dust from the desert air ride is the best if you can afford it

@robertllawrencejr5503 5 лет назад

You seem to do a lot with AAA Bus. They seem like good people. Could you add a link to their web site? I would like to check them out.

@theoffgridskoolie 5 лет назад

Hello!

@kaoskev 5 лет назад

Maybe trailer that 4x4 instead of tow?

@adventureswithgnomie6553 5 лет назад

I agree - trailer makes sense.

@skwyrz1 5 лет назад

Why does it seem everyone that does a bus does not do there dashboard's or instrument panel's? I would have my driving area decked out with beautiful wood's and all digital goodies from the auto swap meet's you see everywhere. "I'm Cheap"

@BillAndersonNS 5 лет назад

I would be having a 22" vertical touch screen with vehical info, gpd, music, internet, rear front and side cameras.

@myfavoritesutube1 5 лет назад

Dude...you could tow the bus with that...haahaa

@theoffgridskoolie 5 лет назад

Haha, thats the point!

@myfavoritesutube1 5 лет назад

awesome

@shanehaskins8347 5 лет назад

your side window is broken? never seen that before... Compression on the shocks is gone..wow. Once the front end is repaired you will notice the difference..You shouldn't have that suspension banging anymore driving down the road...

@theoffgridskoolie 5 лет назад

Yep, when I went to pick up the bus it was like that!

@jayt3796 5 лет назад

What happened to G ? They Break up ?

@adventureswithgnomie6553 5 лет назад

Yes they went separate ways

@adventureswithgnomie6553 5 лет назад

@@snafutimes6883 he made a video about it. He doesn't want to go into detail as to why - he just said they have different goals at this time. Life is about change - what you want at 20, 35, 46 & 50 change drastically. They are living their dreams - separately... I respect that & their need for privacy.
