I saw this thing at the utility expo. My first thought was that there’s no way it passed stability testing. Definitely needs outriggers. Could be a great trouble truck for metropolitan utilities. Most of those guys never use their buckets anyways. Just call in a work crew to fix the damage...
You do have to remove the block to fit 18” wheels. There’s some debate about what exactly they do, but it’s got something to do with brake harmonics. I took mine off already to see what happened, feel no difference at all.
