Code 3 Code 3 XL 5000 Wrecker Bar?

Here is an unusual XL 5000 I picked up when I was up in northern Wisconsin. This appears to be a wrecker bar and is optioned with the following:

Stop, Tail, Turn Lights. Lenses made by Petersen MFG
DOT Clearance Lights mounted underneath the bar Grote 9015 Lights
3 Rotators 2 fast 1 slow, Center has an amber filter for the clear lens portion
2 Flasher Lights with 1156 bulbs
2 Work Lights with 795 Halogen bulbs
2 Solid amber Domes
1 Half Amber Half Clear Dome for the Work lights mounted above.
half diamond or V reflectors as well as reflectors on the STT lights. (Should throw a unique pattern.) :)

A lot of polishing and care will be needed, might have to get a replacement rotator for the center as the Gear on the reflector is pretty bad.

That is the PSE Force 4 Model 5327AL, the all-light version of their tow truck XL5000. Given the hard use that most of these bars saw, yours is in remarkable good condition and it does not appear to be missing any of its pieces.

Dave has XL5K rotators for sale on FB currently. @wolfman Hopefully that is his username. I will toss him a line. Hit him up if you need rotators.

Moving right along, I'm just waiting for the center rotator thanks @wolfman. and the replacement stickers for the lenses. The multi conductor cable was cut short but I had a spare FS Jetstrobe bar cable that I parted out previously. Going to add a flasher in for display purposes but waiting for that as well.

Finished, Lenses have chemical smears that I can't seem to get out even after wet sanding, but looks good overall. Replaced the Center rotator which was shot. Put a red filter for the center for Wisconsin towing lighting requirements. Added a flasher to wig wag for display purposes. Thanks @wolfman for the rotator!
