Huh, I guess I never put that much thought into just what they'd be hauling. I knew they all had the winch and the bed tails are designed to skid the load up, but I assumed they were hauling pipe not equipment on skids. I guess I never saw one loaded up. I see now these were really their everything rigs. I know they always seem to have a pipe front bumper. Is there more to that? I realize pipe is what they have and what they weld, but it must serve some purpose other than just being a better bumper.
