Fun thing about building hookers is the ability to alter where equipment goes ! The operators spec out the trucks for their needs !! 

Got that right!! I should be at the bench but I’m watching and hoping the Packers pull their head out of their.... squirrel!!!!! lol 

was thinking earlier I may have to build a wrecked rig to go on the lift!!

Some more work on the boom area today!! 
twin booms mean twin winches..

Made new cage sides for the wi inch and boom mounts..
spool cut in half will be the separate spoils to lift and lower booms.

Fantastic work going on  !   Are you planning twin booms like the big stick Pete's or more like a holmes ?

The color choice will definitely make your build stand out !!

Twins like the Big Stick Pete more or less. I’ll try and set it up roughly and get a couple photos of it. Kind of doing my own thing like I usually do! Lol

So true there!! A lot of work going into the wrecker part of it right now. The booms, winch cage and lift are taking a lot of time but are looking good so far.... I hope?!?!! LOL
