Love this bus! There a few other buses in the garage but the BBOE gets the most seat time. As I told JJ en route to Moab… it’s luxurious. Thanks John for building it and entrusting us with it.

In KCW we trust

It’s been 2 years since I picked the BBOE up from KCW! Crazy it’s been 2 years. Thanks for the awesome bus and for letting me hang around the past 2 years. Here are some photos from the first trip Emilee and I took to Moab on the way home from junction. Best bus on earth!

A family in my parents neighborhood used the BBOE for their Christmas card. Everyone loves the BBOE!

Got to KCW today with the BBOE! Time to start looking it over. I gave the motor some love today doing valves and head torque etc. started on the new transmission mid mount as well. Going to just keep buttoning everything up on this awesome bus!

The BBOE got single springs and stock ratio’s on solid shafts last time it was here…. I was happy to hear from Colethe heads were NOT loose like they usually are… 😎  Good feedback…. 😎

The new mid mount is going to be bullet proof… 😎

New mid mount seems pretty solid! Easy to install as well. New breather oil filler double barrel. I guess this is how all the cool kids do it these days.re painted the upper pulley as well. Make it all chiney.

Just loaded up and took off from KCW! Thanks for all the help Franz and JJ and Pat! And Gretchen for the hospitality! Always a good time at KCW.

 

BBOE is running like a top! Changed the tranny and rgb gear oil today, rotated tires and gave everything a good look over. Love this bus! Franz helped me fix a bad float in one of the carbs that was constantly dripping fuel causing fouled plugs and it wasn’t running 100%. Franz handleded it! Thanks for teaching me more about these dels👍🏼 Bring on some camping!

Haha you guys are aweosme! Thanks for letting me hang around so much! KCW is a place where shit gets done! I know some things, but if I have questions they get answered. It feels good to know the lay of the shop. I feel like I can get things done faster now.

Hey JJ. I got my new old speed mid mount for this rig. Can you post a photo of where I weld it on? Thanks

What was wrong with the Wolfgang one??

Not enough support for a trans drop bus. With no front nose cone mount the Wolfgang mount is too soft and causes the whole trans and engine to “buck”.
