    Welcome aboard from South Central Kentucky! About all you can do now is strap your boots on tight and hang on because the sky is the limit on what you can do to one of these trucks. Good luck and be safe!

    GL win's section

    I like it but maybe just a rule for the thread title would be a simple fix other than a new forum. Make the rule to list the thread as xx/xx/xx GL wins or GL wins xx/xx/xx after all it is nothing more than conversation.

    Jim Beam Deuce

    One of the best bobbers so to speak that I have seen. Looks good to me. I dont mind the stack if there was another one on the other side and I wouldnt mind if the stacks where flat black.

    Wrecker bed modification

    Would be a good idea to me to put the control levers so they could be accessed from the ground instead of being on the truck. It would make it easier when working by your self.

    1500 mile recovery

    O yea the lug nuts are 1 1/2" and I think a 13/16 square for thimble nuts. You can get a combination socket that has both. Deuce and 5 ton lug nuts are the same.
