There was an Eagle owner moving his house hold in the bus. He rear ended a truck and had both legs amputated. Does anyone know what happened to him? Good Luck, TomC

Photos of what I did to modify my front end that is to satisfy me in particular against any naysayers.

If we are talking about the same bus driver, his name is Dan Murphy.  One hell of a determined busnut for sure.  I lost track of him in the past 4 years now.

winch mount ?

I am going to mount a surplus 10K Hydraulic Mile Marker winch like a firetruck. Those horizontal rails run the full length of the bus and tie into the shell all along the way so it will be a safe pull point.

I have just become accustomed to living with a winch, it also opens the possibility of recusing myself from things like wet grass.
