Those brats were cool. My uncle had one of the white ones with the seats in the bed, facing backwards.

Waverly is 96 miles from where I live in Obion, TN. I am in the upper western edge of the state 22 miles south of the Kentucky Border and about 20 miles east of the Mississippi River.

Re: my bus

Neat idea putting the bunk above the bed in back.

I must have one of those zombie hunting permits.

Are you my twin brother that I have never met?

Re: my bus

Great seeing the adventure pics.

I love camo too. All the way back to me as a kid roaming the forest I grew up in. Just last year Carhartt workwear started making their work clothes in camo. Kind of funny when I'm up on a building 35 feet in the air, and the safety inspector drives by, they calls me asking me why there is no one working on my site.

Re: my bus

i am constantly on facebook so i thought it would be nice to see the occasional skoolie in my feed. so i joined a skoolie group and posted a pic of my bus and a link to this thread. the next day it was gone. so i asked the guy where it went. he said he had no interest in promoting my rip off website. but i could post as many pics as i wanted. he was rather rude. i told him i would just take my pics back to where i was welcome. he must not really want a group. its insane to treat new members like that who have no clue to a 5+ year old beef between 2 skoolie websites.

Good to see your still working on your bus. It may be a short guy, but you sure do have a lot of stuff in there! Looks great!

... and I know who you are referencing, he's a jerk. I only stayed a member of that group on fb because it was the only skoolie thing on fb!

Re: my bus

still need to get the trim and the stain. i already have some floor. need a couple more camo knobs for the storage in the back. i took out the gas stove and im going to replace it with a closet that comes all the way up to the microwave. we have a small grill and a propane stove to cook on. the chemical toilet is under the fridge. i really think we are going to get a shower tent to keep that in while camping.
