King Hauler tow truck.
 

I decided I liked the Pete tow truck I built so I decided to build another one. This one will be a little bigger. The truck is 2in longer and the boom is 6in longer. I made the sides a little shorter this time. For the rear suspension I am using Russisloud's air ride again. The air ride works a lot better than the stock suspension for a tow truck. The adjustability and getting rid of the pivot point allows you to keep weight on the front axle, keeping it on the ground.

Looking great Travis! Looks better on here with the bigger pics! So since its bigger then the other one, then does that mean you be able to life more weight?? :) Cant wait to see more!

You should put duel winches with pivoting heads at the boom end. I think that would be a good addition to this one! then you could just put hook bars (one on each side) on the rear of the truck to keep the winch line tight.. :D

I am going to have to stay away from Travis's house for awhile might end up with another wrecker LOL.

Re: King Hauler tow truck.
 

Man this is looking great. Unlike Dairyland Trucker I may actually need to come over,lol. That way maybe I could get motivated enough to start building again. Instead of looking at multiple unfinished projects.... Keep the updates coming, I'm really liking these builds, and they def cause my ambition and motivation to go up seeing them.
