**TowZone** · June 30, 2019

How to Enter to Win:

Each Light Duty Recovery Topic a member creates from July 1, 2019 to October 1, 2019

which includes a minimum of 4 images and a minimum of one paragraph narrative describing

the recovery and even what equipment equipment was used will be entered into this drawing.

The more topics a member creates the better their odds are of winning. Yes, you can stack the deck

Towing & Recovery Topics which lead to constructive discussion were the norm for many years

on social media as relates to the message board. On other forms of social media today there are

images without a narrative or even a dialog. The dialog we do see is reminiscent of the early days of Tow41. Today, we seek to bring back constructive discussion and also avoid the good job type responses the members complained about in the early days of the Towing Information Network.

Topics can be created in Light Duty & Carrier Recoveries. These need to be actual recoveries and not just regular hooks or what is on the truck type images. Those can be posted in Light Duty & Carrier Towing, these are Recoveries.

Here is a Bonus for those who will be participating:

Simply add a reply in this topic and receive an additional entry with your first recovery topic.

TowForce reserves the right to extend this promotion through 100 entries. Thanks

Would be nice. Thx!

Melville · July 2, 2019

good idea, open dialogue would be nice again.

Love this new incentive to keep people posting in the forums

ESC · July 3, 2019

Very good idea! Not to mention, I could use a new towmate! Just wish I had more good work lately... its all been small boring jobs.

Keep em coming, our goal is to giveaway this TowMate Light Bar on or around October 1st. However, we need to get close to the 100 qualifying recovery topics. Sounds like a steep hill to climb, but we never know till we try.

Thanks to @Orcas Tow @dperone @ESC @mooresbp for your participation. A decade there would have been numerous members creating posts for a giveaway and the prizes were smaller back then. We're going to get this back on track.

The chance of winner are now just 1 in 4. If you told me that in July I would have laughed. At this point it not a case of message board traffic. It's a case that many have gotten used to the single image topic on Facebook and forgotten how to create posts with disruptions. Recoveries with discussions to learn from....

I will say this contest has me back into taking a bunch of pictures. Lately I'm usually by myself for at least the recovery portion and don't have time to take a ton of pictures. With a new light bar on the line though, my last roll over I stopped winching on it at least twice to get a good shot.

**TowZone** · September 7, 2019

Great, 4 or 5 shots one before and one after could make the difference on a disputed images. And really it a $350+ TowMate Light Bar.

What amazes me is the number of topics in Heavy Duty Recovery Challenge. At this point I can say will likely have 50 submissions in the Light Duty Recovery Topic Challenge by October 31st. At that point the drawing will be held. As for the $1100+ TowMate Light Bar may go all the way to the end of the year.

Thanks for both your support and participation, we're more than half way into this message board rebuild. We'll be nearly 100% a little over a year for now.

I too am amazed that there hasnt been more participation... especially with such a great prize. I do update our shop Facebook page regularly, and forget about posting here sometimes too, but ive been trying a bit more lately. I post from the app on my Iphone, and find it a bit tedious to list each picture individually, especially when there is a bunch of pics. I did see now that you can pay to subscribe and be able to host multiple images at a time which i need to take the time to look into and see the details. Being able to host multiple images quickly would help me post alot.

I try to get as many pictures as I can, before, during and after we clean up a crash. I use them on our shop Facebook page for promotion, as well as when needed to show an insurance company what we did so we can easily get paid. The new lightbar has me posting more here too.

dperone- I hope you keep it up with the pictures of your recoveries. I always enjoy your posts as you seem to do things very similar to the way we do. I run an MPL40 wrecker and use dollies a ton and my Dad is regularly out there working wrecks too.

I wish I knew how to add photos. I assume it is adding from a website. I do not post my recovery photos on social media or website for customer privacy. :(

**TowZone** · September 17, 2019

I can assist you in the different methods used in adding images within a post.

However, with an understanding that you do not post your recovery photos on social media or website for customer privacy. Do you have a continued interest in entering this Recovery Challenge? Also, unless there is some sort of conflict as in a pending investigation, an pending invoice or a commercial account I find no valid reason for a customers privacy as these images do not include license plate numbers. Many contributors decide to block commercial account names based on their relationship with that commercial account.
