Very cool Travis, love the video and as Fred said very smooth operation. Lots of lifting power as well. Nice job.

Well I decided I needed more power so I redid the lift and the telescope and I am a lot happier with it now. I tested the boom lift by sticking my 36# box of lead on the boom at the end and it picked it up no problem. I then made a video of it lifting the heaviest truck I had available and it work great. Here is the new video of the truck with the new modifications.


Click here for the video.


Thanks for looking.
Travis

Travis it's coming along nicely. You gonna have opening doors on the side for electronics access and to keep some extra tools in? That would be something great to store parts in at shows.

Thanks Guys and that will be a no on the opening doors Tyler. I did that on the service truck and it was a real pain so I think it will just be simulated doors for this one.

Travis the truck is looking better and better each time. The rear boom looks like it is operating very smoothly as well. Can't wait to see some more body work on this truck. I definitely needs more lights thought and lots of "flashy" lights too.
