[Release] Custom 379 with matching custom 40ft Great Dane

[Rubber]

As many of you have already seen, I was working on a custom truck and trailer. Well...here it is.

Some things to keep in mind: I didn't "create" the mods, only highly modified them. All credits go to their original creators. The truck was made by Arlan.

Here is a list of all modifications made to the truck:
- Redid diamond plate on cab steps, made the diamonds paintable with secondary color
- Enclosed frame with a top frame cap
- Removed headlight reflector plates (the things below headlights)
- Made chrome under cab primary color
- Removed sleeper
- Added low-cut bowtie visor
- Got rid of tow cable holes in bumper
- Removed most of the rivets and screws on the cab to give it a "clean" look and cut down on polycount
- Chromed air cleaners
- Removed horns and equalized cab top lights, made cab top lights secondary color instead of chrome
- Removed CB whips
- Added fuel tanks to be primary color
- Added mitre cut stacks
- Retextured nearly the entire truck, added custom paint scheme
- Accent stripe is actually chrome (not gray like it looks in the images)
- Made interior match primary and secondary paint
- De-lagged the mod

This truck mod works on the Road Train, Petrol, and Linerunner with no lag at all!!!


Now for the trailer. Credits can be found here: http://www.forum.convoytrucking.net/index.php/topic,40276.0.html
Trailer release was from Nado and I got his permission to customize it.

List of modifications made to the trailer:
- Shortened trailer from 48ft to 40ft (because GTA does not like long trailers...)
- Re-scaled the trailer to better fit in the game
- Moved the axles together to lose 'spread axle' look
- Made the reefer an extra so it shows up sometimes, and not others
- Made new chrome texture
- Made paint shiny without the use of ENB
- Added completely custom paint scheme to match the truck (stripe is chrome)
- Adjusted collisions, axle height, and trailer hookup to reduce trailer jump and lag (trailer does NOT lag at all on artic 1 or 3!!!)
(note in the second to last picture below, the left mudflap on the trailer is bugged, I have fixed it already)


Here are some screens of the truck and trailer:

Note: I haven't done a 'mod review' yet, because I think someone other than the creator/modder should do the review so it is unbiased. If anyone would be willing to do an honest review on it, let me know and I will add it to this post.

i honestly dont like that mod, just because the height difference between truck and trailer its too much.

HEight difference is common on custom trucks. Observe:

Same here and alsu cus the long empty distance between cab and trailer.

I made this mod for my liking, not for yours. Dont like it, dont download it. The gap between cab and trailer is because american trucks are a lot longer than euro trucks. American trucks primarily drive on long hauls on the highway and euro trucks are short because they have to be able to drive through tight euro cities. Longer truck means better ride on the highway.

I took the liberty of downloading these and taking some screens with my iCEnhancer, these are the results (I didn't have a lot of time or I would have taken more pictures all over the map)

I really do love this mod. Im using it myself. but honestly I think you should lower the trailer Rubber. Yes its normal for the height change from truck to trailer on custom but they usually have fenders and if they dont the gap isnt that big. I honestly think you should lower the trailer to match. And Plus the trailer is like 2x the Height of the truck itself.
