Took my bus for its first trip in a year and a half yesterday. Its had a bit of an altitude adjustment in the meantime.

Still needs a serious alignment and some vacuum leaks fixed but it made back up the 650m climb home no problem.

Well, one problem on the driveway, but it was a good problem.

Bus looks great. Was that the steering box that did that?

Thanks guys, I'm stoked.

I did a steering box raise, so it was either the muffler or the rear over riders. A small price to pay.

Thanks, yes wheels and stance are the biggest factors, plus I now know I'm too lazy to look after a nice paint job so this bus is perfect for me.

Al, Gordo and Dave I'll see you soon.
