    Keep that wheel lift design but make 2 versions so we can pick which 1 we want

    Thanks. I've tried over & over but the lift just breaks. I got this mod specifically to tow trucks/buses but it can't seem to do that without a wheel lock.

    Awesome mod, so far no problems for me. Everything functions as it should. I was also able to pick up the T-Series from the back. Only tried single axle trucks, but will try dual axle truck sometime. So glad we finally got a high quality wrecker mod on Beam and not just on RoR.

    EDIT: To add pictures. I have no problems with any rear tows with Dually wheels. Including the bus. You just have to line it up decently. Sometimes it didn't line up, but rocking the wrecker back and forth once, with the wheel lift around the wheels will usually straighten it out. I have found out 90% of the time the wheel lift will clamp the dually wheels better and 90% of the time I do not have to use the node grabber to attach the wheels. (Also helps to have parking brake on.) I have noticed a little bit of clipping with the box truck, but still can make 90° turns, if I put the boom up some. (Picture with box truck did not show boom up.) Bus has no clipping or contact points. I've also gotten the wheel lift to work on dually wheels coming from an angle to the side. You just have to line it up. I also had no problems with the H or D Series. For testing purposes I did try to lift another Jerr-Dan up and it worked, but was happy due to the weight. Hope all these pictures help.

    Beautiful mod! I've been waiting for this for many years now. I do have one question. Do you have plans to implement a free spool function? Thanks

    Can we get some more derr Jans, there is a lack of modern semi trucks in beamNG and I like the styling.

    Free spool would be cool. Although it needs a custom lua code and digging into it more. I have to make some more important updates before.
    --- Post updated ---
    I have looked the T-series frames, and it seems that their drivetrain is a little low and may be on the way for the outriggers. I made the frame specially for this rotator. It may need to be a different rotator design, or something changed for the T-series.

    Well done!! This is by far the best (in my opinion) mod for BNG that has been created in a long time. Thank you for your work!

    This truck is a beast
    and its performing like the real ones do in normal operation
    nice job

    maybe to put this idea on you
    recovery straps is a good thing to have in its arsenal
    I know someone made tie downs but since 0.31 i think they don't work any more
    any who congrats on the mod and good luck on your mods
    also Happy New year and stay safe out there

    No like static lighting so you can see where you're working. I've seen them on a lot of rotators on YouTube, I was just curious if that was going to be an option.

    Perhaps in the rear - boom light is also on mind.

    Will there be police lights as well? You know, some sirens for emergency response, would be awesome to see Belasco Police livery on this
