This is the latest thing I work on every day. A North American Bus Industries (NABI) 40' Low Floor transit bus. $600,000 dollars; Detroit Diesel 4 cylinder CNG fueled 4-stroke turbocharged and intercooled engine, computer controlled engine and transmission. 4 wheel ABS computer controlled air brakes. I/O electronics; onboard real-time broadcast video cameras and digital video recording; gas leak detection system and onboard fire extinguishing system; lots of other stuff.

 

IBTL.

TIOUAB....

 

Is that a daily driver?

 

Here is my biggest vehicle... I just finished installing the lift, so it should fall under your posting....

 

Maybe, but I know KJ's bus is a short one.

 

Another view...

 

I love that. nice ride, what kind of gears are in the back?

 

Right now, 3:73... They are getting swapped in about a week for some 4:88s

 

 

my last job i was a tractor mechanic assistant (age 16-19 1/2) I learned many things there, eventually they let me work on things, I worked on a steiger myself (big 4 wheel drive tractor, centeral pivot) the biggest and most expensive one i assisted in was a brand new case steiger (quad trax) it books for over $175,000 if I remember right its about 14 feet wide and about 20 feet high

I also helped on combines too, those things are big

 

You liking all the e-mails from this post Tom?

Just finished building this one too.

 

These are the largest I work on currently.

 

Here ya go. It all depends on where I am at and what bird is broke.....

 

Damn...you people work on some huge *** cars.

RU-QWIK:
I'd be more careful with your thirdgen parking it next to trucks like that...lol. Cool pics.

The largest vehicle i worked on was a catoring truck/roach coach.

 

Hell ya I do.


I managed to make a few pimped out mods...

 

unless someone has seen it in person, that bus is photoshopped

the reasons I say that is, the passenger side windows are BLACK, but look through the windshield and look at the drivers side windows, they are clear. and then look around the bottom edge of the wheel wells, they are jagged like someone cut it out. and lowered it and put rims on it.

Edit: and there is no rear bumper on it, look inside the rear wheel well past the tire.

 

I'm on the team that's designing the new Fire Control system for the Trident Submarines.

 

I detailed truck interiors for Shaffer Trucking, CRST, and Glen Moore. Does that count?

 

lol, that's too funny, KJ...

 

helped my grandfather work on his RV...

 

I used to work on one of these...I started as a driver, then was gunner.

 

This is considered a vehicle, isn't it?
Boeing 777-200ER

 

Yeah, everything counts! Interesting what we work on, eh guys?

 

that's cause it is a photoshop job.
Most everyone that looks at it for a couple of minutes could tell that.

Hi I'm Mr. Serious 86FryBrd.

Come on man. You need to ligthen up....

 

Lets see... bulldozers, trackhoes, loaders, pans, lowboy trailers, Mack tucks, basically all the large heavy equipment we use! The motor in the loader's crankshaft was 5 ft long, so there's an idea of what i've done...

 

sorry guys but this is the largest yet....

 

Does the Globemaster III, C-17 count??

 

When I stayed in Florida with a friend of the families I custom mounted a 40" plasma screen drop mounted TV in the cabin of his 48' Twin-Turbo diesel speed boat does that count? It was called the Easy Ryder!:rockon:

 

I've worked on a Caterpillar 793 off-highway truck. I think it's the largest dump truck in the world. Also worked on other types of Caterpillar large mining equipment.

 

Dude... That is fu**in' sweet

 

Here's my biggest "vehicle"

 

Princess Yacht P50 I got the anchor unstuck lol

 

Damn thats what Im talking about , How many of us are working for Uncle Sam??

I love it...even though I think I now have a round trip ticket to Iraq waiting for me...FUGIT

 

Good luck to you if you do go...that goes for anybody. I narrowly missed the Gulf War (wasn't through AIT yet).

 

Thanks alot but, I will be pissed if I dont get to go. I just got back from Kosovo and there is no feeling like the one you get when you have done something for all of your brothers, sisters and third genners back in good ol America.

 

I was pretty pissed myself...sort of like going to football practice every day, and never getting to play. Who knows, we all may still get our chance...

 

This is why I believed it in the begining. I thought maybe it was another one of these.







So take that "Hi Im Mr. Do a Search WJFJKDNINSKNF -KJ"


just messin w/ ya

 

Lol, I just got back last week from my 3 month, fully paid vacation in Afghanistan and Uzbekistan....definitely an eye opener being there, we sure do take a lot of things for granted everyday!

 

I have told myself that very same thing many of times. Wher ya at now?

 

Well my other cars are not as big as some of your vehicles, but they are big for a chick to drive and work on.

 

Thats my 1990 Chevy Dually and the 1976 Scout I'm going to restore/customize. Joe is going to teach me how to build its engine (500 CI Cadillac motor)

 

Hehe, 954 cubic inches in that pic...454 in the dually, 500 sitting on the trailer in front of the Scout!

 

Here is abetter p7ic of the engine in front of the Scout:

 

Anyone recognize these tailights?

The trailer's lights were messed up and I had to use what I had at the house. This is a broken busted set of Firebird Tailights I got for nothing from the junk yard to experiment on.

 

I used to operate one of these to do antenna maintenance when I was in the Air Force.
