That bus takes a pretty good photograph. So how are you feeling about changing to 101?
Any chance they'll let you upgrade some of your tires if the other buses have better rubber? That one I can see looks a little thin on tread. I'm just sayin, get what you can.

Then get the best tires and put them on your bus. It'll be a lot of work, but it will save you money.

so i still wonder what was wrong with those 5 that all 5 ended up in the Junkyard.. do the 2 runners have clean or salvage titles? if they are salvage titles it means they were indeed sold for scrap..
have you actually got to drive 101.. up to highway speed and make sure its not belching oil, has WARN ENGINE light turned on, slips in the trans, etc?.. 'runs and drives' often means someone started it, drove it around in a circle in the parking lot.. stopped it and parked it..

All have clean titles. And after the key switch went out on 101 it was parked and wasn't used again

thats a project to put on.. as you'll have to flush the complete brake system.. you have moitsutre in those lines now.. and then you'll have to bleed all of the lines completely.. its sat open.. not a good thing for hydraulic brakes...
so really there are 5 busses and not a one of them was ready to hop in and head down the road..

even one day is enough to get mega moisture in the brake system... you get a cold snap and you go to stop and.. NOPE! could really happen.. moisture causes corrosion of brake parts... if that thing has an ABS module then running it with moisture the system could mean BIG BUCKS to fix that,, brakes arent something to cheap out on and laugh at... esp in a big bus... if your brakes go bust you arent looking at just hurting yourself.. you got 20,000 pounds of metal barrelling down the road...
