Gordo's bus is possibly the most unique bus conversion ever completed with a spaceship/cyberpunk interior full of high-tech features and with an incredibly well-organized and well-stocked shop, deployable by home-made crane on his flatbed exterior which also turns into a giant tent for camping/adventures. I know it sounds like I'm making all of this stuff up but once you see it you'll believe it. Check out Gordo's Instagram here: gordofromearth?...

    I Had Such a blast hanging out and shooting this with Justin! Even aggressively edited down to a TIGHT 22 minutes, there's still SO MUCH that didn't make it in, and stuff we didn't even get to film!
    Comment what you want to know more about, and next time we get together we'll shoot a follow up!

      Such an amazing build Gordo! As an engineer and someone who plans to build and documant a very similar bus with a shop on the back you have inspired me in so many ways. how long did this take you and how much would you estimate you have invested? As I plan to manufacturing on the road I can only imagine how useful this is as a tool! Can't wait to see your progress thru insta.

      its like top feature that auto transformed the buss into a superior vessel altogether its like the a submarine without a perascope it feel weird calling it or considering it to be same category of a submarine that comes with it . at least that's what I feel like after adding that hatch his bus became a whole other class of vehicle like miss frizzle's magic school bus!

      Aircraft technician here (the guy that fixes your mistakes lol) and I had a similar idea a couple years ago when I first discovered Wasteland Weekend.
      Basically a heavily modified Mad-Max-style tractor-trailer with two half-length shipping containers on the trailer (one for living, one for a shop) and a steel grid on top for storing small off-road vehicles (sandrail, mtx bikes etc), where the crane to lift them would be an angled boom on top of the front container with a 12V vehicle winch and a pulley system.
      This video rekindled that dream and has also shown me that it can actually be done, which is way different from just pictures in your head (and preliminary work in Autodesk Inventor).

    Love the electronics panels in the overhead cabinets. Fuses are lit up and easy to access, so nice. The riveted covers look very sharp too! Very nice touch.
    The crane is amazing. Who would have thought. But using it on 1200 lb boxes, yikes. It seems to work fine, but I would not attempt it. However, having a mobile garage of tools is a dream we would all like to have, heh, heh.
    My old RV was undercoated below from over 20 yrs ago and it is still like new. I think your bus would benefit from an anti rust undercoating, especially if those metal fittings are holding up heavy metal tanks filled with fuel. You live in NY, so salt from winter snowy roads will eat up that bottom. Don't wait on that. There is a reason you don't see Japanese cars in snowy climates. American cars have thicker steel so they withstand that corrosion from salt.
    Enjoy your creation! Truly amazing what you achieved with this build. Very good job!!

      Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. Thank you very much for your time.
      Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
      Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
      Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
      Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
      Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
      Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
      Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
      Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
      Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
      It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
      (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..
      God said : Say, “We believe in Allah, and in what was revealed to us, and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus, and in what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We do not differentiate between any of them. And to Him, we surrender.”

I'd turn it into a dog grooming/training station setup and travel around doing that.

    I've been a fan of tiny homes, homes here, homes there, bus this, bus that, odd homes, weird homes, dug outs, tree-homes, etc etc, and, for about the last 6 or 7 years. This bus and this guy are 2 of the coolest things I've ran into, so much so, I need his social media. I pegged him for a software engineer at first, I might be right. Very well spoken, incredible engineer at least from my POV. Loved the logo and loved it even more after his explanation of the logo. I typically do not buy merch but I would happily wear this on a t-shirt and, it would just be my own little guilty pleasure of what it really meant. "What does your t-shirt mean?" I would reply, I don't know and or, "magic bus" and leave it at that. This is super super cool. I'm loving this bus, this guy and even more so, his explanation of everything. Also, some of the electronics in the cab and how they are displayed reminded me of a custom built gaming PC with the glass side window so one can see the RGB, motherboard, video card, etc. The drivers cockpit reminded me of a space ship ... before .... he said space ship. I really enjoyed this video. Thanks to everyone involved.

    So we get it: Gordo is a diesel guy. But since he's also a geek, he uses solar. Good for him ! 👍 Gotta say: never seen such a mixture of mechanic's skills and electronics and computer knowledge too. Kudos ! He builds according to his needs and wants, what more could you ask for ? 😊 Only caveat I find is the lack of we security and protection outside, like way too eaay access to the diesel components and stuff. But overall a great build. 😎
