    Not only is the rig impressive, but the knowledge, skill and personality of James. He's one to watch in the future, in my opinion. He will always succeed, I believe. Ruger is an awesome companion.

    I watched his story a while back and I cried. He was treated so badly and was cheated out of the business he built from scratch. But, he is so smart and strong and is an amazing young man! I wish him nothing but beauty and joy and peace and happiness! And love! ❤TN Nana

    • @rebelgirl7289
      @rebelgirl7289 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      Oh no, that's terrible. He is amazing alright, you can tell. I don't think it made him bitter, though, just better. I'm impressed with his personality and skill.

    • @cathyjay2569

      @@rebelgirl7289 he had a handshake deal with a man to buy his small business when the man was ready to retire and move, and he hired his best friend to come work for him. He worked 7 days a week and made that tiny company into a thriving business. When the time came to do the deal, the man refused and turns out his “best friend” had cut a deal behind his back. They took his company and left him high and dry. But he learned some valuable lessons. And he is so amazing, he will succeed. Karma will take cate of the two evil ones. I hope this kid has the most awesome future! He is a good kid and so talented!

    I used to work for Wheeled Coach back in the 90's. I worked on the van line, these are called modular's and the aluminum bodies were made in a separate building and then mounted to the frame. Nice to see one of these still being used after all these years. Wheeled Coach is long gone now, but the buildings still stand and a company called American Ambulance is building there now.

    I picked up a 2001 international Ambulance with 88k miles for $8k Was going to do a motorhome. Tree fell on it first day I took it out. Fell across the box. Bashed the shell and it was totalled but no damage to the cab or box interior. Ambulances are built to amazing safety standards. Will find another one soon. Nice build. Went after the navastar for the same reason. Easy access and parts.

    smart guy. Great "professonal" interior design & build skills. This is the best ambulence layout & build I have seen. The shower/bathroom was put in a great spot where it does not standout but, has the wall to make it look like it's not there vs most builds where you look right into the shower/toilet area. The frig build & cabinets set the bar very high for other builders. Great job!!
    His hardwork paid off. Sweet puppy too!
    Happy Trails to you both!! 🚑🌵🌵

    Awesome interview and tour, I recall seeing his story and rig a few months ago somewhere as well. I always enjoy seeing the Ambulance tours and think they make a great option (I am curious on the mpg), I may consider it someday...but for now I am going to start out in my 07' 4Runner and tent combo. Cheers, and as Bob says "see you down the road!"
