ok guys I'm thinking good thoughts crossin' my fingers. keep your nose to the grindstone. You gonna swipe the hood off Rockee to get that trombone Y-pipe I've got pictured in my mind in there?
Also: please do yourself a favor NOW that you are somewhat rested if you haven't done so already. Make yourself a checklist of all the little things like remembering to put oil in and such. You are gonna have a bunch of guys and wrenches flyin' easy to miss something. at the end when you're tired you can run thru the list amd whoever did or didn't do that job says so

Best of Luck !!!!!!! We are all watching, waiting, and rooting for ya!
Nothing like getting ready for the 1st Pull! Or the next pull, etc...
I've pulled Garden Tractors for a while, I've been to many pulls, Truck pulls, tractor pulls, etc. Got to love it!
Told my kid if he fronted me $5k he could pull our new Powerstroke - probably a bad idea... Good thing is he does not have anywhere close to the $5k...
Awesome thread watching you build this !!!!!!!

Well guys, good and bad news. Bad news is, the pull was cancelled due to rain. The good news is, we pushed on and got it up and running.. Guys, meet my new pulling truck, Bobbie's Kitchen Pass.
Here we got the bed on finally.

Now, we didn't get video, but I wanna say this "WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE HOW AWSOME THIS THING IS!!!!" When it fired up, it sounds unlike any Power Stroke I've ever heard. And Loping like crazy.
It was a great weight off my shoulders to hear it run. However, once we shut it off, we couldn't get it to fire again. But the batteries were getting weak. So I think that's what caused it.
However, I'm gonna have to build a cowl sooner than I though. You can't close the hood with the intake on.
I've got more pics, but those were the important ones. So did we make it.......Hell yeah. We made it.
