LSPDFR GTA V Reskinned Heavy Tow
So I am really enjoying being back in LSPDFR and the community around it. Such a great vibe not only on YouTube with streamers like Benzoeffect (who always takes the time to answer questions) and massive streamers like Stevethegamer55 but also the smaller youtubers who share for the fun of it.
This is the Small Tow Truck https://www.lcpdfr.com/downloads/gta5mods/vehiclemodels/13161-ford-s331-towtruck/ There is another skinned with this https://www.lcpdfr.com/downloads/gta5mods/vehiclemodels/13166-ford-s331-towtruck-us-plates/ I have switched to the US number plates option (see the links) but you can use either. I have replaced those skins that came with it with this skin.
Below is my effort.
Below is the EU plates I have switched to the US plates version see the links above.
Well on my travels I came across this guy showing how to skin vehicles.

I really enjoyed it and wanted to change the skin on the tow trucks I have as it was a bit boring (no offence to the creator). And also swap the GTA Default rusty Heavy Tow Truck for a heavy modern Wrecker! Which I wanted to reskin see below. I have coupled this by replacing the existing GTA Heavy Tow Truck with a Heavy Wrecker.
I love the YouTube channel run by the wholesome 21st century John Boy Walton of the roads Ron Pratt and he is able to be treated as an emergency vehicle in his state in the USA. Check out his channel here.

As you can see the Fire Department Skinned wrecker is really nice and can be called as a regular heavy tow for say trucks. But can be spawned and driven so you can have some fun too! Towing people away! They dont like it you know! LOL!
And although I have a extended flatbed trailer (not Fire Department) which is a regular independent garage looking one as that makes more sense for most pickups it would be weird to have the FD collect roadside ticked vehicles. Now and again however you attend serious road accidents in LSPDFR so FD livery works nice on these occasions but you can still call the small tow for some things. So I have three types the two pictured and the flatbed I posted earlier see earlier posts. The Heavy Wrecker was a bit of a hassle to get as it was in an older DLC file. So I extracted just that from it using OpenIV and put it in Patchday24 and it runs great. Auto installed stuff thats not uptodate can install anywhere and a nightmare to find if you then experience game crashes as a result. This way I know exactly where it is.
Have fun!
