    Vehicle For Sale 2003 Shuttle bus 7.3L Diesel east Texas

    Unfortunately I cannot. Mexico has put in a lot of work on their computer systems. In the last 5 years or so their computers have gotten very reliable. The moment I present my Passport to get a permit it pops up that I'm a resident. A way around this would be to put it in someone else's...

    Vehicle For Sale 2003 Shuttle bus 7.3L Diesel east Texas

    That part was disappointing but not crushing. Not being able to walk or do things for the last 3 years has been devastating. Finally about 3 weeks ago it was like a switch was flipped on and I can walk! I still need my wheelchair for going into stores but I am walking better each day. Trying...

    Vehicle For Sale 2003 Shuttle bus 7.3L Diesel east Texas

    Not for the average person. For anyone on a tourist visa it's not a problem. You get your tourist visa and a TIP (temporary importation permit) for your vehicle and you are good to go. My problem is that I was retired in Mexico full time. So I had to get either a Temporary or Permanent...

    Vehicle For Sale 2003 Shuttle bus 7.3L Diesel east Texas

    Every now and then they change what years and types of vehicles can be legally imported. The importer told me that because it's a diesel it must be 2005 or newer. Kind of makes sense. Everyone wants the 7.3L diesel because it's built like a tank. After 2004 they put all kinds of epa stuff on...

    Vehicle For Sale 2003 Shuttle bus 7.3L Diesel east Texas

    I travel in Mexico frequently. I'm a Permanent Resident of Mexico and therefore I must drive a Mexican plated vehicle. I found out the requirements have changed to nationalize a vehicle after I bought the bus. It cannot be nationalized. So I went ahead and got all the work done on it and now...

    [TUESDAY and FRIDAY EVENINGS] Vehicle Living/Van Living Chat Room

    There is something about Friday afternoon/evening that seems to result in me giving mechanics money! Check engine came on on my truck. Was there until after 10 pm. I found my laptap. Spent a couple of hours letting it update and now I'm ready for chat! No more thumb cramps from texting!

    Need help(paid) in Texas

    I'm not sure exactly where to post this so hopefully this is the right place. It's finally something less than furnace hot in east Texas and I need to get my shuttle bus ready to go. I need some help to do that. Very little is going to be built in though some will be bolted in. Mostly...

    Box truck clearance

    I'm having rapidly accelerating health issues and ended up needing a wheelchair lift. So went with a shuttle bus.

    Box truck clearance

    That is really cool! I had no idea that exists! Kinda wish I'd known about this before I bought a shuttle bus and kind of glad I didn't..... Those can't be cheap! Employees like that is one reason I was a very early retiree. Heck I didn't even ask them to help me with the bees! How hard can...

    Ozone from Bluetti ACP200?

    That is really unacceptable! Sorry you are dealing with this I have a Bluetti AC200P and so far I haven't had any problems. I listened to the video you posted and was surprised at the phantom draw issue. I'm not full time yet but I have used it during power outages. I plug in a...

    When it's time to stop.

    I bought a vehicle with a lot of thought. My health has deteriorated rapidly over the last 3 years since I had covid. Covid fried my kidneys. Received a kidney transplant and the meds have fried the rest of my body. I'm in my early 50's. I have no family or friends to call on. Ever want to...

    Sleeping with the door open

    I have picked up the knack of ignoring sounds. Probably from living in Mexico and having an ex who's snoring can drown out a bulldozer. Definition of Mexico should say non-stop noise but with the GOOD tacos! I can ignore loud expected noises. However I'll hear an unexpected noise that isn't...

    Nice! See you there! Lets see.... what time zone am I in at the moment 🤔.....divide by 2 plus 10 minus the square root of 1. Or I can google 😁

    Box truck clearance

    I compromised slightly and bought a shuttle bus. Still ample room. Still a lift for my wheelchair. A bit shorter so that clearance isn't quite as big of a concern. If it doesn't have enough 'get out of my way' motivation I'll put a cow catcher on the front 😁 I wasn't quite in a wheelchair...
