Interesting & well done.

I can figure out most of the boom assembly, except those two cables and ??? hanging off the boom -- what are they for ?

They're chains with hooks on one end and those loops on the other. Same type of loop anchors the tow cable to the rearof the vehicle.

I love it. It would be nice to have a figure standing beside it for scale reference. It's great. I wouldn't change a thing.

What did you use for the cables?
