I made spade mounts on top of each side bed rail, so the spades can be accessed from the ground, it is a pain in the a$$ to climb up and down then climb over other stuff to access then return the spades that are mounted on the boom. It is EAISER, FASTER AND SAFER to access as much wrecker gear from the ground, and speaking of the ground, you know where the ground is when you fall down as compared to when you fall OFF THE WRECKER where it takes a second to find the ground.
Remember the spades are going to be full of dirt after use, if the situation NEEDED spades, there is going to a LOT of work going into the winching operation, so even if the spades are clean, they will still feel twice as heavy when they are placed in there brackets due to work of the winching operation.

Also, those Goodyears are awesome in the snow. Never locked the front axle and went right up the hills that the deuce and M818 with the lugged tires would just spin 3 axles on. I could stop and get rolling again without any tire spin in the 8 inches of snow I was running around in. Yeh the wrecker is heavier but those tires and tread pattern do very well in snow. Way better better than the non-directionals. It was in Hwy mode so 90 PSI in them. This time I didn't add a bunch of get and the like last post.
