Up thru the camper??

That is correct. Stay tuned.



Lookin' like thangs are gonna work out for me to roadtrip down to the shop tomorrow for a look-see. Maybe give Vince some final pointers on the build.

Be lookin' for somethin' much smaller than that big rig.

And Phase 3 is on major hold 'til I can grow another money tree.

Say what y'all want ... but damned good thang I showed up when I did!!

Vince was strugglin' tryin' to design the exhaust ...

 

[KOWBOY]

The stock end piece weren't gonna work no more.

So he fabbed up a better deal.

 

[KOWBOY]

... and figured out the bracket to hold 'er in place.

 

[KOWBOY]

The finished result. 'Bout as "high and tight" as possible for 4" pipe.

Well done.

 

[KOWBOY]

Also finished up the rear brake lines and the emergency brake cables.

I believe that 'bout wraps up the ass-end.

 

[KOWBOY]

With the checkin' account emptied ... Vince is tryin' to do what he can to protect the Atlas for me.

Hope the rocks can read the label.

 

[KOWBOY]

Thankfully I was able to print some more money so we can turn the wood into steel.

Vince tacked together a support for the back end and cut a plate to fit.

 

[KOWBOY]

... add onto the fact'ry crossmember to support the front and finish weld the rear bracket.

 

[KOWBOY]

... add some angle iron down the sides for strength ... drill an access hole for my bad-ass Cat fuel/water separator ... and countersink the holes for the mountin' bolts.

Hate for the 5-ton rig to get hung up on a bolt head.

 

[KOWBOY]

And in a darin' move ... the crew at IPOR actu'ly unpacked the winch and the bumper outta their boxes that arrived 6 months ago.

... and began combinin' the two.

 

[KOWBOY]

Here's the mess of wires comin' off the front bumper for the winch and the two sets of lights.

 

[KOWBOY]

Stay tuned Folks ... still one more shop day left in the week.

... and only one more week till deliv'ry.

 

[KOWBOY]

Skid plate turned out real nice.

 

[KOWBOY]

When in doubt ... read the instructions.
