Nice! It looks like you bought some tool boxes and the truck came with it! Was that a custom build? I ask because (if I’m correct) you’re going from your older rear mount to a cab mount, right? Are you looking forward to that?

I noticed both you and Steve opted for cab mount. I would think a rear mount would yield more reach but maybe I’m wrong. Is there a benefit to cab mount?

The way I wanted it sent up wouldn't be bridge legal with a rear mount. Also as much time as I spend driving, that boom takes beating on the rear of the truck. So far I haven't felt the effect of having the cab to reach over. I've actually been able to get the boom closer because I would have parked out so far with the rear mount just to get the outriggers out. In most cases its a wash. Just with a rear mount you don't have to worry about stuff falling on your hood.
