CHUCKY'S TREE HOUSE !

[Third From Texas]

Have you done any more on your interior ? Lol we may be going into defcon 4 come next week !

No, but I'm doing some work on the cab latch finally next week. Got a neighbor who said he'd come watch in case the cab falls on my head (true story). Don't know why that has me so spooked.

My next steps need to be:
cab latch
insulate and panel back wall of cab
install a/c (just the little 24v backwall unit)
install the 24v fan systems that vents hot air from the cab when parked

Then back to locating/isolating a small leak in the hab.
If I can find the leak and address it, I can paint the ceiling and get back on track.

I'm years behind schedule due to my back injury. And every time I pick something up (like a pencil) I flinch that I'm going to pop it back out again. It's that weak at the disc. I just can't afford another 6 months laid up again.

I feel your pain back wise and dont sweat the latch just jack the cab all the way over throw a 4x4 brace/post just for overkill and u will be fine and the big nut on that was pretty tight to break free but you wont have any pressure in it ! I now get spooked thinking if i hadnt got trapped face down where i did and had made it another foot and a half those (post #141) 24 ga steel spoilers i screwed to the back of the cab would have sliced me in half against the box with that down stroke it would have been the end ! I ve got some door edge gasket like on car doors to put on the edge of that metal next time the cab goes up for sure and i wonder if one of those moving van blankets the good ones would help kill that engine mound heat a little ?
