Adding some goodies to our wrecker

We got this truck at the end of last year. Our last wrecker had 2 tunnel boxes and this one only has 1, so we were a little short on storage. We added 3 additional boxes. My boss has also let me add stuff to make things more efficient. 

 

Simple stuff first, 2 buckets for floor dry/debris

2 Boxes have been placed on each side of the bed, which did make it difficult to watch the winches. So mirrors were added to aid with that.

Again, the boxes make backing up to a car difficult to see it. All of our trucks have on board dvr, with 4 cameras. I added a monitor to be able to see.

This truck has a compressor and tank, but no gauge, or air hook ups. We do alot of ppi's, and have to call another company to remove any trailers with air. I added an air hook up so we can move empty trailers, or equipment trailers. Also added a psi gauge, I ended up changing the fitting on the back of the gauge so it would fit though.

Now my personal favorite addition. The flood lights in the back were......lacking. I had a 42" curved light bar at home that I wasn't using and added to the truck. I also got some smaller led spot/flood lights to add under the tunnel box to aid with nighttime reversing.

After (That is also just the upper lights. Lowers were not turned on)

Luigi ... Being the cable-notzee I tend to be, I really like your idea of adding truck mirrors to the winches so to monitor cable wrap. Great idea.     R.

 

Yea, I hate being on a scene/recovery and look like an idiot trying to pull cable. The one downside to the curved flood like on the back, is at night, it shadows the winch drums so you cant see them lol
