Finally, while a lot of tator operators use them purely for recovery and have a dedicated truck for towing, I wasn't gonna build a second truck just for the underlift. I have finite shelf space and spent however many bazillion hours over years to do this one and don't want to do another, so dangit, I can have an underlift on it if I want one (which, again, is like the 1:1. If you have the budget, Miller will build it for you.)
This is one of those places where I had to fudge to make it fit the actuators and whatever I had to work with. And my putting in two rear deck winches, because Go Big or Go Home. (Plus it really wasn't any more work to fit two than one since they're mirrored side-to-side.)
But it lifts, extends and folds like the 1:1.

Up close. There's also offset round axle adapters, coupla kinds of square ones, etc, for all the different axles I have in use. Still gotta do frame hooks, and am working on a kingpin adapter to tow trailers.
As teased above, towing the Frobe. Waiting for nice weather to get outside and do this on the tarmac as my table, impressive though it is, doesn't allow for much towing.
And threw together this detached lightbar to put on the casualty under tow, hooks to the back of the wrecker. It's just turn signals and brake, no strobe patterns.
Phew, think that's it. Been a heck of a long time coming, and already I'm thinking of new projects, doh.
