Welcome from Colorado. Nice truck, I'd love to have that at my disposal. Bring it to our Colorado meet in July, that'd be cool.

Re: Meet me and my TRUCK

So your a police officer, and a bail bondsman and a tow trucker. Not that I'm gonna argue with your authority but isn't that a conflict of interest? hahahahaha

You, and all the others are more than welcome to come out and join us for it if you want to. Really, ANYONE is.

Glad to see a tow truck owner on here. I will build an old tow rig someday. But I will probably do an older truck for that one. I just love those things.

Im dead serious about flying out. When is it. All the shows that I attend with my Camaro and Impala have all been on the east coast. I have drove both cars to shows in Atlanta Ga, Indy, The summit in Ohio, Bowling Green Ky, Detroit. So I dont mind coming at all. I sure will have my camera ready. And always great to meet new friends.......ALWAYS.

Re: Meet me and my TRUCK

Re: Meet me and my TRUCK

The cheapest easiest way to turn your wrecker into a 4wd is to sell it and buy a 4wd wrecker. its way too much hassle and theres a good bit of fabrication work involved to make it all work.
