These will be the last large patches these trucks get, however bug fixes will still be applied as needed. Check the version history information for changes over V1. If you notice any bugs or weirdness, please let me know.<\/p>\n<p>The White Western Star is a popular truck within the Snow*Runner community, however it really never won my heart. It always seemed a little lacking to me. This mod started out as a bit of a gag but ended up being one of my more involved XML tweaks.<\/p>\n<p>This mod replaces the WWS standard \u201cOld US\u201d engine line-up with the brawny engines from it\u2019s big sister, the TwinSteer. The CrawlerBox HD transmission has also been added. I\u2019ve also beefed up the suspension to match the \u201cHeavy Hauler\u201d designation, and added the Heavy Truck winch suite. An expanded selection of heavy tires is present as well.<\/p>\n<p>I have modified the vehicles weight and centre of gravity to compliment and represent the new powertrain. New visual and performance customization options have been added for the off-road look, and a taller snorkel as well as a roof rack. Multiple spare tire mounts can be equipped if you choose.<\/p>\n<p>This truck has been thoroughly tested and does fall a bit on the OP side, but it is a different twist on an old classic.<\/p>\n<p>Aug 24 2020 \u2013 2.0.0<br \/>\n\u2013 Removed rear-steer for stability &#038; slightly increased front steering angle to compensate<br \/>\n\u2013 Added Auto Winch HD<br \/>\n\u2013 Truck now spawns on P16 tires<br \/>\n\u2013 Modified suspension settings and added new Active rear-lowering suspension<br \/>\n\u2013 Repositioned engine icon<br \/>\n\u2013 Modified sound set to include more WWS original sounds where applicable<br \/>\n\u2013 Improved socket naming schema<br \/>\n\u2013 Tweaked chassis physics and strength<br \/>\n\u2013 Completely overhauled wheel options (No Medium options and new Heavy single options added)<br \/>\n\u2013 Removed region lock<br \/>\n\u2013 Changed pricing slightly<br \/>\n\u2013 Added new winch and crane points<br \/>\n\u2013 Changed UI text and imagery<br \/>\n\u2013 Added new frame add-ons including single-slot and Russian big crane<br \/>\n\u2013 Swapped out some visual options for ones that fit better<br \/>\n\u2013 New customization options added<br \/>\n\u2013 General code clean-up<\/p>\n<p>Authors: maxmike181<\/p>\n<p><center>    <a href=\"\/getlink?url=687474703a2f2f7777772e6d6f647375702e636f6d2f33626c36686733386a7977382f77735f343936345f77686974655f6d61786d696b652e342e7a69702e68746d6c\" \r\n       target=\"_blank\"\r\n       style=\"            display: inline-flex;            align-items: center;            gap: 10px;            padding: 12px 24px;            border-radius: 6px;            background: var(--nqt-color-primary, #ff6a00);            color: #fff;            text-decoration: none;            font-weight: 600;            font-size: 16px;            border: 2px solid var(--nqt-color-primary, #ff6a00);            transition: all 0.3s ease;            box-shadow: 0 4px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.1);       \"\r\n       onmouseover=\"this.style.background='#333'; this.style.borderColor='#333'; this.style.transform='translateY(-2px)';\"\r\n       onmouseout=\"this.style.background='var(--nqt-color-primary, #ff6a00)'; this.style.borderColor='var(--nqt-color-primary, #ff6a00)'; this.style.transform='translateY(0)';\"\r\n    >\r\n        <i class=\"fa-solid fa-download\"><\/i>\r\n        <span>DOWNLOAD MODS<\/span>\r\n    <\/a>\r\n    <\/center><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to version 2.0!
