  • Fixing school buses for over 12 years, and wrenching in total for 20+. Jonathan knows everything there is to know about keeping these buses safe on the road. If I ever have to pick a technician that I trusted to work on my kid's school bus, it would be him. Thank you so much for giving us a tour of your boxes Jonathan! If you enjoyed the tour he took us on, give him a LIKE! Thanks for watching!

    2:40 my first Snap on 2 bank box, I fabricated a lift kit like that.
    Only difference, I used a full length on front and back.
    With the tubing running full length, it doesn’t show as big of a gap at the bottom. And you could potentially use a fork lift to lift the box up.

    Jonathan, You might have a hard time convincing yourself, but just know--without someone like you working on these school busses, there would be absolutely no way for most kids to get to school and learn. You need to separate the duty of repair with your work environment. Figure out which one you don't like and change it.

      The racks that I 3D printed were designed by me specifically for that brand of pass through sockets. If I can figure out how to share the file, I will gladly do so (just keep in mind they are a very loose fit, and wouldn't do any good outside of a tool box). If you're asking about any of the others, I could let you know what they are, and where I got them.
