Getting some use out of the crane, still need to install the outriggers and clean up the hydraulic installation.

Finally got some time to get the crane working, got all of the hoses and fittings in as well as a 40 gpm valve to split between the winch and crane, only problem was that the base plate i ordered for the tank was way to big so I just made one to use until I can get the right size. I removed all...

Hoping to get...

More progress, have the brackets all drawn up, will be 1/2 construction, hoping to have them all cutout tomorrow.

Nope, trucks getting a crane.

Well, have embarked on the next project on the truck... which means another trip to BFR to get some parts, very lucky that it is relatively close.

Thanks! I think I will be coming through Salina on Friday have to stop by and get one of those shorter intake pipes, have just been shoving a feed sack in it while not in use but I seem to always forget to remove before starting and have to go chasing it through the intake.:roll:

Finnaly got some snow to use the plow, worked great and all the mounts held up solidly. Pulled out quite a few stuck vehicles.
