Did anyone ever come up with some pictures or plans
for this? If so, please forward them to me.
I am interested in building a boom for the front of my
M1008. I need a crane of some sorts to help build my
future dome home with. I had the same idea about
removing the rings on the front bumper to mount the
boom and running the cable to a winch in the bed.
