🧰 This section is still under construction—which feels about right. We’re documenting the mess, the muscle, and the moments that keep this bus moving. The breakdowns. The wins. The bolts that won’t come loose and the ones that definitely shouldn’t have.
This isn’t glossy renovation content. This is the “get under it, figure it out, fix it anyway” corner of the road trip.
Under the Bus, Coming Eventually-ish
What follows are real stories from the real underside of a bus. These aren’t metaphors. These are steel-cut bolt struggles and diesel-fueled life choices.
Exhaust Pipe Restructuring in a Sam’s Club Parking Lot Because every great love story involves zip ties and expired rotisserie chicken fumes.
Fuel Pump Replacement at a Friend’s House Featuring: multiple wrong bolts shipped, a borrowed socket set, and questionable language.
Diesel Heater Cleanup in Post-Ice Doom Mode How Zach prepped for cold weather after being frozen to the earth like a metal popsicle.
Actual repair logs will be posted when the grease clears and the cursing fades to mild muttering. Stay tuned.
👀 Zach’s still wrenching. We’ll be publishing when he comes up for air. Until then, check out the travel side of the story over in Weird Town Names or Oversized Object.
