One of the best jokes I've heard for a while, and it was only about 2 minutes into the video haha

[@v8aj]

I’m in the UK and I bought a 45 year old German fire truck with a rod knocking engine for scrap value from marketplace a few years ago, swapped a big Diesel engine into it and entered it into a rally from Budapest in Hungary to Freetown in Sierra Leone. I was asked about out it on Hungarian National tv where I explained that it was a drunken marketplace purchase and the only overlanding modification we made was to replace the fire pump in the back with a beer fridge. Anyway, we completed our 10750 mile journey in it, rescued a motorbiker 10 miles from the nearest road in the Sahara desert, drank a whole load of beer and woke up on the roof most mornings. We’re taking it to Mongolia next. Like your school bus, I highly recommend purchasing a spares or repair 1977 Mercedes fire truck for similar occasions 😂

[@peteleivo2247]

Hell yes dude, I'm from Finland and bought a 1969 mercedes L 406 D fire department van with an engine swap from our equivalent marketplace last year, and I'm fixing it up to be a party bus for next year.

[@IndianaTony]

Looks like a hell of a weekend. I wouldn't mind a Bus 2.0 episode with more building...there's potential there. And the news report was great.

[@madmex2k]

I am hoping you have started a trend for all Nascar events! Just imagine, a bunch of grandmas getting out of the house, trying to take the church bus to play bingo, but mistakenly getting picked up by Kevin and Mook on what looks to be a familiar church bus, and taking them instead to the Nascar track with the whole crew on the Save Our Beer Ministries bus. As any kind (now possibly drunk) grandma would do, they begin baking breadsticks and spaghetti for their newly found drunk friends. They knit sleeping bags, and curtains for the bus, crocheting drivers Cool Suits and Doilies and curtains for the inside of those race cars, etc. Hey, This isn't the JYD comment you were looking for, but the one you needed.

[@kevinbutton4580]

That would be kidnapping

[@Pipe_Avileins]

I'm not, by any means, a NASCAR guy (i'm not even from the USA, and a WRC and WEC guy), but this seems like a LOT OF FUN! Greetings from Chile, thanks for the laughs and the good content every week Kevin & co.

[@DaryanPrescott-vy4ss]

I don't like watching NASCAR, but love NHRA drag racing, and id definitely build something like this to spend a weekend at a drag strip

[@bruwin]

It's quite possibly my favorite thing that you and Dalton have become friends. You make good content together.

Watching you and Dalton become buddies is amazing.

[@Willian_Boa_Tarde]

This looks like some heckin fun! Good friends, beers, meeting cool people, the race itself... This video brought me some good vibes, like if I've been there, even though I live in another country with a different culture. Thank you JYD!

[@ipoopmuffins]

i feel bad for the first bus, but i think the 2nd bus should remain as part of the channel. continually modding it to make it more and more badass.

Dunno that first bus has the base for good content completely redo the mechanics get beds made so you don’t have to sleep under it and take it to a race further away than the Kansas speedway or on revivals and save the speedway sh heap plan for just Kansas

It looked like some fun may have been had. We aren't allowed to have that much fun up here in Canada. I think those were C-130 Hercs, not B-52 Buffs. You can tell by the Hercs having 4 props and the Buffs having 8 jets.

You being woken up by the track workers reminded me of my Daytona foray back in the eighties. My buddy and me travelled down from Ohio in his Chevy pick up. I was awakened by the sound of the IROC Camaros decelerating down the back straight blasting their Chevy engines through 180 degree headers! Still my favorite alarm clock!

I absolutely love the unadulterated calamity and chaos that ensues when y'all go to the Kasas City Speedway. Please keep this going for many years to come. Great to see everyone having fun. I'd love to one day come visit and party in the infield. But being across the planet does not help here ;) The bus is awesome and I'd love to see more of it on the channel. Perhaps since you have that other bus too, you can still sell the yellow machine and fixer-upper the other one for next year? Rattle can paintjob with some JYD and other channel decals etc and a few more party features to work on all year. Wondering...what engine swap would make sense 🤣

[@aarontrupiano9328]

this bus could turn into a whole build series that could be used on trips and stuff.

[@R.Sole88109]

It could be a revival retriever too. A camp/tool storage area at the front and a car deck at the rear. I can picture it pulling up at the farm or shop and shitting out another Ford truck project for Mook🤣

If I were you I would keep the school bus and I would design a bigger rooftop platform so you can have more room on top. The other thing I would do is get that color-changing strip lighting and put it all over the inside of the bus so at night you could turn it on and have it change colors. I would put some bunk beds inside of the bus and have a table on the platform so you can sit up top and have a table and your chairs so you can eat and watch the races.

[@911delorean]

That Chevy bus looks like a keeper. Judging by the sound it's a diesel. Checking wikipedia there were 5 options for engines. 3 of them were Chevy Bigblocks from 366ci to 496ci. The diesel options were either a Caterpillar 3116 or 3126. The 3126 is what Deboss Garage is putting in his F350. I would really like to see this bus be the Nascar bus. Over the years slowly improve it. Paint it, sound dampening, turn it into a RV as you want it. The 3126 is a sick engine.

[@JunkyardDigs]

This one was a 3116

[@911delorean]

@@JunkyardDigs still a sick engine. I think it's like 6.6L vs 7.2 either way hope it sticks around. It's got potential.

[@ramstack2701]

@@911delorean The options for engines in the Topkicks and Kodiaks of that era were the tall deck 366 and 427s or in the 99 and newer trucks the vortec 454 and 8.1 toward the end of the bodystyle. The diesels offered were the cat 3116 mechanical up til 1997 or the cat 3126 electronic heui starting in 98. There is a cat 3116 heui, but it's rare. The 3116 is a 6.6l and the 3126 is a 7.2l. I've been researching the 3116 since I've been thinking about swapping it into a light duty gmt400 dually myself. They actually only weigh about 1200 lbs. Which is only like 150 lbs more than a 5.9 12 valve.

[@911delorean]

@@ramstack2701 I'd still take the 12v. I feel the aftermarket support is much better and probably cheaper because the engine is much more abundant.

[@ramstack2701]

@@911delorean Yeah, it's true the 12 valve cummins is the ideal engine, but a 3116 swap would be much more unique.
