The wrecker was neat, I enjoyed it's abilities but in the long run, it didn't see much use other than joy rides. Someone else thought more of it and it's got a nice home. I think recovering stuff with a tractor and a lowboy with a winch works better for me and since the DRMO business around my area is slow, I had no need for a dedicated recovery vehicle. I will add, flat towing with a M936A2 beats flat towing with an M35A2 any day of the week but I did keep the tow bar, chains, intervehicular air lines and light bar from the wrecker for the occasional "light" recovery.

I tow with mine all the time. It had a holmes tow sling with it when I picked it up at redstone makes pickups and stuff easy to tow, back right up like a civy wrecker and hookup
