Post is a long time coming.  Lots of information.

About a year ago I helped implement the CRD "Skinny" chassis as one of my first projects in true development.  Today I present a completely revamped "Skinny".  Lots of selectable features here, a few failed plans but they may resurface at a later date.

The "doors" of the cab have selectable cross members for you to choose from.  Disclaimer, the top of the cab does not come off, these were taken before it was coded.

Selectable options for the rear of the chassis, bit of minute detail.

From here, there's now two different selectable fuel cell guards, traditional and "box"

This is the "Custom" cab variant, and some of its selectable items.

This is the "Standard" cab, and some of its selectable items.

Moving on, a new variant of the custom truck Martyr by @jedipresence

Megalodon 2022 with the help from @Redline

The 2008 Ford Superduty gets transferred out of Mjam Pack and into the Main Mod with its Blue Thunder skin.  In addition, a 2014 (Marc McDonald, Australia), 2015 (Dalton Millican, Hampton, VA), and 2022 (LeDuc) presets have been included.

The Dogs get some more love this update with Pauken's 2022 CRD3 preset and Gauthier's 2022 CRD3 preset.

Thanks to Gio Designs, Hooligan, Hulk, and Tasmanian Devil will be joining the main mod fleet of trucks.  The 2005 Custom Taz body has been transferred from Mjam Pack to main mod.  Note: Tasmanian Devil is still being adjusted, version shown is not final.

And thank you to f_uzion for use of the Bauhaus Trucks.  Pictured left to right: Display, 2015, 2014, 2016.  Thanks to Bobcat as well for allowing the transfer of the Magnaflow "Shoebox" Headers to main mod.

In addition, the steering has been adjusted to have a tighter radius, as well as other minor QoL fixes along the way.

How about another body?  This one will be out with the next update (2.6) 100%.  After years of tinkering with, Nathan Smith's EarthShaker body makes it to the game with the help of our master modeler Bobcat.  Skin done by ZackPRD.

After being started, getting shelved, getting passed around, getting shown off, sitting some more, this project is now coming to a close.

The 3D Monster Mutt body done by Terron will be coming to the CRD pack in the future!  It is not currently slated for the 2.6 update, it's still got some attributes I'd like to touch up on and investigate but overall it is in a much more proper and usable state.

I've been slacking with posting on here, but I can assure you there's be no slacking on content!  Here's a peek into some of the bigger things coming this update:

Fist and foremost we have Jurassic Attack 95% done with the only remaining pieces being jbeam adjustments.

Body from Andrew Sheets and Zach Steele, edited by RORMadness, Nathan Hils, and Bobcat; Paint from ChazzyMP.

Not shown in the picture is the new rim type from Nathan Hils primarily included for Jurassic, the AOP Rims.  Also from Nathan are the new Harper Tires, with textures done by jedipresence.

Our newest addition to the development team, Zack PRD, has made a fresh Bad Company on the 2015 Silverado which includes the CRD variant from earlier this years as well as the recent variant with the Scott Hartsock remembrance tailgate.  I also put the tailgate on Fast Metal as a 2021 variant.

Lastly for this post, 2.5 will see 2021 variants of Soldier Fortune and Soldier Fortune Black Ops on the CRD 3.0 chassis.

Work is still continuing on this update, there's some more odds and ends that have to get finished up.  I wanted it to be out sooner than this, but I'd rather put out a quality product with no issues than a rushed product with multiple small issues that would've been a simple fix.  I do not have a projected release date yet.

This is something I've always wanted to see in the mod but never got around to.  Unfortunately game limitations wouldn't allow me to properly implement independent tire choice; but you can now choose different rims per corner and even put backwards tires on your truck!

Hope everyone has a happy and save 4th!

It's been a hot minute since there's been an official post about the mod, so here's the progress made during the month of June.

First on deck is a project we've all wanted since the beginning.  I had an idea and went with it and now the BeamNG Monster Truck experience has evolved.  I am pleased to show you the new deformable/breakable Halo!  Support Bars are also deformable, just not shown.

And yes, if you're skilled enough to get it stuck the Halo is strong enough to support the truck so you to be like Krysten Anderson and her indestructible Halo.

Next up is a new bed for the 2008 Silverado body by @Bobcat, "Dove Tail" based on the currently running Black Pearl.

One of the most anticipated bodies is now coming in 2.5!  Please welcome the Megalodon body to the CRD mod, modeled by Andrew Sheets and jbeamed by @Mjamfan22.  This is the most versatile body available at the moment being able to be selected on CRD, CRD 3.0, and CRD Creten.  Skins are primarily by @jedipresence, I helped with The Meg and Overcast skins.

Available on CRD:

There will also be RKMT variants available in the next Bev Pack update:

Ever since the early days I've always felt as if the 4-Link strength was an issue never properly taken care of.  Not sure how "proper" my adjustments were, but I feel as if it is now more accurate to real-life destruction.  Land soft on a corner at the right angle and you'll break one.  Now, land hard from a super-send on a corner at the right angle, you now have the ability to rip the axle out from underneath your truck!  Upper 4-Links can now break much easier, as they were nearly indestructible before even from massive free-fall drops in unrealistic testing.

Another addition to the Bev Pack is the recently revealed Alien Invasion Gears

There are also more features shown in all of these pictures that you would not be able to see with the naked eye.  The rear steering  code was redone to utilize LUA code.  This doesn't change the functionality, but now rear steering will show up in multiplayer!  There are also two new toggle functions:  defaulted to 'B' is switching between Linked and Independent Rear Steer; and defaulted to 'Y' is switching between self-centered rear steer and manually adjusted rear steer.  What that means is you control where the rear steer goes when you push the buttons, and you can lock it to the left or right and not have to have your finger on the button.  Huge thanks to Olrosse for doing this for us!

And as always huge thanks to @jedipresencefor trusting in me to continue developing and improving his mod!

I never thought I'd see the day where these two would be sitting next to each other in Beam looking this sharp.  Hood cut is deeper than their real life counterparts, couldn't do much about that at this time.  Huge thanks to AllMonster.com!  This also shows off the "cut bed" (if I haven't shown it already lol) and another set of Racerbacks for the 05 Silverado.

Don't worry, there's more content, but we'll save that for another day 

At long last 2.4's main features are finally completed!  Check it out:

Welcome to Show Your Projects Chapter 2!

Lets start off with a bang.  Been holding onto this finished product for a half a month after a month of development, I feel now is the right time to show it off.  Bev Pack v7 is designed to hold y'all over for awhile while the development team is focused on getting CRC done and out, and what would be better to do that than with a brand new body with a brand new jbeam?!?
