Check your spring count. Often the crane side will have additional springs for the added weight.

I don't know Eric, me thinks the autocrane would be a nice addition to the top of the gooseneck trailer. Would need to engineer some outriggers but it sure could be useful.

Congratulations on the new truck Eric. And Thankyou for a new video. Y’all all take care and be safe.

Good stuff been keeping up with your channel for years. Glad you're moving on up and getting stuff done! Love the wrecker build.

You should try setting out a meet with Matt's off road recovery on youtube out that way

This is very exciting news. I can't wait for the bed switch. Thanks for sharing.

That is gonna be a badass rig for you guys can't wait to see it transform. I'm sure some meaty tires and lightning is already on the list of needs lol. Hopefully next year I can make a trip from Michigan out to do sum 4wheeling in your neck of the woods.

Very nice. But , now this is just me n my view i would keep the lift and sell just the body. You just never know when a fella may need that. Congrats BSF Have an awesome day

Knowing you you could get it off with the wrecker, but use the crane on the service truck it'll work better for you can't wait to see what you do next you never cease to amaze me

I want one of these 4x4 kodiaks. Im pretty jealous. Power is nice, but cant compete with size. Getting rid of a service is hard. Makes trail repairs so much easier, but i know you need the flat bed. Also if you're going to sand hollow you gotta do a recovery with matts off road recovery.

Awesome new rig buddy!! I just baught my 6th 1 Ton 4x4 Chevy but this one was a fire truck that would haul water to the fields when needed!! So it has under a 100,000 miles on it and has the 4 speed 205 combo and the front Dana 60!! Oh and this one is a SRW and not the DRW!! Eric if you are looking for another wrecker I have one that is also the 4x4 Dana 60 205 4speed combo?? The wrecker unit is a 480 Holme unit and the two big winches work very good and have been taken care of also!!!

Congrats, '09 ? Thats super clean & looks great. Cant wait to see it all tricked out. Dont forget to add rear facing LED's for extra lighting, As others have said, If going to Sand Hollow, meet up with Matt's off road, aka Winder towing And Paul & Michelle from Fab Rats ( one of Matt's best friends )

My kicker did the same thing many times check engine heat .My truck was setup for northern operations --- 210 thermostats so working it hard unless dead of winter --32 degrees would throw into limp mode or just plane ass quit anywhere and the dash looking like a Christmas tree..To change stats 1500 $ and pull most of front bib,ac pump ,water lines ,ECT.ect.ect and 75.00 pair stats and 2days down time plus recode ecu to accept new coolant temps to 180 and test again more later . ---cowboy

Sand hollow huh, little collab with Matt’s off road recovery?

I can't wait to see more of this truck!

Sounds like you may be visiting some other off road recovery folks out by sand hollow. MORR and Casey ???? That will be anxiously awaiting those vids! Eric, I would set that service body and crane right by my log splitter,,,,

Congratulations on the truck, maybe you can move the crane to the new flatbed you are putting on the Topkick. Have a safe trip when you head out there. Are you still running the old military tires? may need more flotation out west.

That thing is nice. I hope you turn it into something cool as the wrecker.

Love the channel!!!!!

I was at apple valley off road park when you picked up that white f150

With a new truck and that crane if it were me I put that crate on that flap deck and use and you can have yourself your own little rotator just a thought

I like the new truck! But I sure was worried watching you stand directly under the boom of that crane when you were picking that load off the trailer! I would have been off to the side.

Build a trailer frame for that bed and turn it into a 'crane trailer' lol

Love the new flat bed

Dont get rid of the crane, just put it at the front of the bed or make it so you can move it around on the bed. Also might be a good idea to make a fold-over or slide out tail for the flatbed so you can extend it for more capacity.

I could see ALOT of practical applications for that crane on that wrecker or even that 4500 being a wrecker with the crane

That is a nice big work truck right there

Sweet! Can you mount the crane into the front of the new tailor? So when put down it would be parallel with headache rack.

The IMT is (in my opinion) the Rolls Royce of mass produced service bodies. It should fetch decent money. You're in Cdl class with just the 3500 pulling the gooseneck (at least in the state of Texas) and you'll be way into it with the bigger rig.

You guys are good people

for sure need to mount that crane to something nice to have around maybe just enough room to squeeze it in sideways by the rack on the flatbed

cool video, keep them coming

I’d put it at the bottom of the headache rack. Would be mighty handy loading that tall bed.

Love the truck

i'd build a trailer to carry that box / crane on and use that dang thing. its been 11 years and i still regret getting rid of mine

I really like your videos but this one was very shakey at times. LoL I'm guessing you where fitting the wind. I think that crane would be smart to keep an rig it up on the flat bed.

Matt's Off-Road Recovery!

Not to run them down there good trucks had a top kick with a picker watch the air box is junk and put a fass fuel system on it for extra filtering and lift pump high pressure injector fail is 15k and the electrical issues were hard to take after a while maybe not as harsh as climate as Northern AB I also fabricated a front passenger air bag mourning bracket put full air ride on made a world of difference drive it nice there not to bad

Nice rig!

looking forward to some Utah collaborations

Man if you could keep the service body and haul the trailer there would be some serious wrenching going on in the parking area!

I hope you reached out to Matt from Matt's Off Road Recovery to possibly do a collaboration. He is a good guy and puts out great content and I for one would definitely watch it

That winch in that boom should be the one you put on the front of the wrecker 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Nice truck !

I'd modify the current body to make the gooseneck work. Also, the wind makes it very hard to hear you for a bit, could you try adding auto-captions to see if it helps being able to understand what you're saying? :D

Keep that crane might help with side lifts

Pretty cool! When are you guys going to Utah? Whats the event?

please meet up with matts offroad recovery in sandhollow it would be cool to see the wrecker working with the morrvair and compared to the fab rats wrecker maybe

Crane needs putting on a steel column and bolted down to your concrete floor in the garage for shop work.

Wow nice video....

The crane alone on a truck would be awsome wrecker

Also watch your turbo lines I got new tubes bent and high pressure couplers and new clamps lots of stuff under the hood rubs all over

Sand hollow eh? You'll likely get to see the MORRvair before I do. Maybe you can meet with Paul also.

nice video as usual

Let's see a walk around of the new truck.....I think an off road mini tator is the ticket.

idk id be keeping the crane as least an put it onto the kodiack flatbed, closer to the cab though so ya can still haul a trailer

You will be able to sell the cribbing under the new bed Eric & recoup your investment in the new tow rig

Why aren't you adding that crane to the wrecker and turning it into a mini rotator?!!! I'd be keeping that crane no matter what and putting it on a removable trailer/flat bed mount to keep the usefulness of it. The skid steer would be right for moving it on and off as needed.

I would of just stayed with the service bed and gone to a pintle style hitch that crane would be crazy handy at the trailer area for recoveries

Id modificate that crane on that flatbed juuust Incase y'all need it for mechanic work on the tow truck at the parks

Nice 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Ditch the boom on your wrecker and find a way to mount the crane, off road rotator.

Put the crane on the flat bed! 👍👍

You should mount that crane on the front corner of your new flat bed

Sweet

You should totally mount that crane to the flat bed.

Touch base with Matts Off Road Recovery out of Hurricane Utah. Sand hollow is one of his busiest areas. People always getting stuck in the sand. And he loves doing vids with other You Tubers.

does the service bed have outriggers or is the tommy gate double duty?

U should do a "how to" video on ratchet straps, so many ppl can't figure it out , I don't know y 🤔

Onward!

I'm not sure if u need to get rid of the crane I would put it on top of the goose neck

Well atleast you went heavy give the morrvair a challenge to pull out when u get stuck

Maybe it's time to put a new lens on the light bar?

At 2:00 i am very interested but misded it on the windnoise of the microphone. Isnt this wheel base too long?

I think it would be better on Clifford to

That thing is clean too bad crane has to go would be neat to repurpose it somehow

BSF and MORR mashup videos in the near future?🤔🤔

What are your plans for the duramax truck if u ever want to get rid of bed let me know

Yeppers fun insun

Hey why are those trucks called top kicks

You may need to (Make a call) at sand hollow

you def need a Tripod camera moving around too much makes me Dizzy LOL

Should put that crane on yer tow rig and make it a rotator..

Dana 70 with 5.13 gears stock under the front of it.the boom would be cool if someone wanted to make a mini rotator but would need the same size truck it came off of and backhoe out riggers

Lol also you don’t need a crane license in Canada if your working for your self your golden

...you will be outside your element at Sand Hollow so, l'm sure surprises are in store.... tell Lizzy l said hi ...

what happened with the cummins?

Not sure how that heavy wrecker will do out in the sand...

Are you going to keep the red dually?

Does anyone in the comments agree with this alteration?? Seems a trailer switch would make just a lil more sense

Keep the service body build a hitch

Can you have seat cover or who ever holding the video cam to hold it still cause it’s hard to watch 👀 and see 👀 the main shot of the story, if you edit it you’ll see lots of movement and comments and out of shot views, please thank you, cause I do like 👍 all your videos… From Hawaii, you and the family and crew have a great day thanks again Aloha 🌋 🌴😎🤙🍹👍 P S Keep the videos coming, like it 😊 a lot…

Keep the crane

When will you be in Sand Hollow?

Lol us left handed people always have issues lmao

Too bad you cant put that bed and crane on the duramax.

Put the crane onto the new bed

That pig will be way slower than a one ton

Seat belt dont do it for me, need a Lizzy

Nice truck. Delete any pollution. Egr etc. Too bad you cant keep the crane. Come in handy
