So sad the Eagles board has shut down there was a lot of info on the board for Eagle owners just another casualty of the social media platforms .Gary works hard many hours a day and spends his money to keep this board going   :^ he seldom breaks even much less makes a profit

That answer contains it's own solution. There are countless platforms out there with info on anything you can imagine including several YOUTUBE videos about EAGLE's.
If you can't beat them join them.

There a lot of info buried on the EI board that will never show up on the social media or U tube,the owners where never into social media or U tube with their builds and repowers

Well, that's certainly unfortunate. I guess the moral of this is if you see something that interests you on the internet, social media, or YOUTUBE is to save it. I've learned the hard way over the years that you just never know if or when the publisher may take it down. Screen shot, print it out or at least email the link back to yourself for quick reference but some way to save it is the best option.

One more nail in the coffin of the bus conversion hobby.  Sheppard kept the site going almost single handedly for years and my hats off to him big time. A wealth of knowledge and information going to evaporate now what a shame. When Gary gives up this will go too. This dude will never do social media.

Oh my, we lose Jefferson in Oklahoma and now this. I posted lots of tech stuff there with pictures and videos, most comprehensive being the reindexing my rear torsion splines to like new settings.   We are a diminishing group for sure.
Thank you Jim Sheppard for keeping it going so long.

Thank you Jim for all you did to keep the site up for all those years. It was a good run and helped alot of people. Like most things the Eagle bus has seen it's better days. If I had to do it over again I wouldn't changed a thing. The Eagle bus changed my life in a good way for sure.

It is a sad day. So many part numbers ETC. I wish I would have had the chance to save my project thread. Nonetheless, huge shout out to Jim for his thankless work.

If the data was stored you still can recover it for a period of time ,Jim can tell you if it was stored or not,Ian on the BCM stores all of his,if he shuts down the BNO it will always be around. I don't know if Gary stores the BCM or not, with all the back issues and the search of the magazine he probably does store some
