@@strayhound61 Nothing sad about it, such an iconic piece of machinery that is obviously better cared for than the previous party cared for it.by chance is your bus logged in the 4106 survivors list that the Floridian hippy dude Bill keeps track of?
I know where there’s a stock 4106 muffler sitting outside in a backyard. Don’t know why you’d want it though, you can go aftermarket straight down and out the back.
John Matthews I don’t know what condition that muffler is in but if you wanna buy it I can put you in touch with the guy and see if he’ll part with it. I showed it in a video I shot about 3 weeks ago. Is your engine turboed? A turbo setup might provide a higher mount position than stock. Mine is straight thru, mounted to a bracket in approximately the stock position, down and out to the left side. There were other 4106’s toured in some of the videos I shot in January, most of them were not stock, some had 92’s or modified 71’s. The mechanic I interviewed 3 weeks ago was not a fan of the stock muffler setup as he said it makes the engine hold in too much heat due to constriction.
Well here to looking up your rear. LOL Not what I thought I'd be doing on a Sunday morning. Strayhound seems to bounce more than II thought it would. How old are the shocks? I kind of think you might have replaced them when you did the bulkhead frame. Maybe it's just the air bag articulation.
Hi Gary, the shocks have less than 50k on them. All pretty new. Remember, the Jeep is moving up and down also, but looks stationary because the camera is hard fixed to it. I can tell you the movement between the Jeep and the bus seems to be very similar to the movement between two rail cars. When we ride the subways in New York or in DC, the movement looks the same from one car to the next and in some places on the tracks is far more exaggerated, almost violent, and they're on smooth tracks and not country roads. I think what you're seeing is pretty normal, and there is no sensation of suspension issues in the bus. I do agree, it does look that way however. Thanks for watching and asking!
I really enjoyed this video, John.
Thanks for watching Glenn!
As always an informative and entertaining video, exhausting but enjoyable.
Exhausting...I love it!
Now you have 8 thumbs up. Great video John, I love your bus and thanks for sharing as always.....
Eric dee.
Thanks Eric, thought it was sort of a mix of mindless and hypnotic. Sadly, I could watch it for hours.

Good idea for a video, Strayhound sounds fantastic. What ever you do, don't leave G alone with Charlie, he's a player.
Thanks Mike, Don't worry about G & Charlie. She knows he a stiff.
You have 7 thumbs up.👍

Well, I have not seen one that I thought would work easily. Tell me more about the aftermarket setup and the stock one you know about.

You don't need no stinking muffler anyways.
By the way, quit driving like your going to Church.😂
