Weekend work on ThumperRoo
I thought you guys might like to see the crew at work:
Mike working on the heads.
Dan working on mounting the front springs
And, for those who think I never work, here is one of me working on the rear axle.
Here we have the front end on the ground, you can see how tall this high-boy will be! Notice that the hood will be taller than Dan - we will have to carry a step ladder so that we can check the oil!

Come on Karl, I'm 6'4". Are you sure you want to platform that one?
Ha ha ha, JK...
I think us tall guys are going to be assigned waxing the roof and checking fluids under the hood. But I think we'll both still need a step ladder.

I think we will need some sort of cable Jacob's ladder that hangs under the doors - once inside the cab is the same as every other pickup.
Also, I worry about letting Dan work on the truck unsupervised. We need to have someone working with him every weekend, or he will raise the truck so high none of us will be able to mount it!
Who is up for next week end?

I'm shooting to complete the shortblock this week and take the rear and the shortblock to Dans this weekend, depending the the turn around time for the heads (will take them in tomorrow), I might hold off a bit and just bring the engine up all assembled.

I'll bet I take the award for shortest. I'm shooting for being able to walk under the thing to check the undercarriage and clean the mud off without ducking. I think I'm almost there...
As for this weekend, I just got home and found an email waiting for me that means I'm gonna have to postpone till next weekend...gonna have to go out of town. Sorry guys...doo-doo occurs. Mike, will that work better for you anyway?
