That thing is beautiful. Do you use it for towing?
Yes, towed my own rigs when necessary and moved/set up a bunch of items/structures at our forest place in NM. I also went out and helped/towed friends when they needed help. Also used it to reach inside someone's old pre-fab home to pick up a huge wood stove and carry it across their property to their lovely new house - dropped the stove on the porch and we rolled it in on pipes. Only put two small dings on back corners in all of that time. I deliberately never towed anyone for money - the nice fellow in town who ran a gas station and repair garage made almost all of his profit with his wreckers, and i wanted to avoided taking any of his business - AND - I did not wish to deal with the State of NM and their licenses/taxes for such stuff. Tow trucks are fun. Fire trucks are more fun.
