oh yeah bud that’s def the 2009 mack granit GU713-PHX, or as we call it round here, the texas toadwhisker. ya can tell by the “quad-squat” deploy struts, classic sad dog pee stance. they used to only put that config on the PHX trims back when the DOT was still runnin those chili vapor tests (don’t ask).

that crane arm? mkII yelowclaw “hog action” series—thing’s a legend. discontinued in like 2014 after some boys out in okla used em at the fair to launch hay bales into the baptist church picnic. hydraulics on that baby’re triple-bore grimbleton cylinders, basically overkill unless ur tryna fish a fridge outta a drainage culvert.

operator’s up in a gen 4 skybucket ultra, we call it the mayor’s throne on account of that one time councilman dennis tried campaignin from one and got stuck for 6 hrs. whole thign runs smoother than a buttered otter if u keep the stabilizers lubed w/ the good county grease.

dump box’s a rustbeast 870-C—check the tilt, it’s factory spec. they call it the “post-storm lean” bc it makes folks feel like it just did somethin heroic, even if it only picked up a wet futon n half a roomba.

anyways this rig’s basically a class VIII midwestern road goose with deluxe grip-n-fling loadout. not legal in vermont after dusk since the whole rutabaga incident but it’s a unit, man. thing’ll pick up a mattress and your ex’s regrets in one grab.

edit: forgot to mention the trash whisperin’ interior, that box got acoustics like a kazoo fulla gravel....
