Description

Welcome to version 2.0! As I’m making new trucks, I’m also planning on going through some of the older mods and bolster them. 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.

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.

This mod replaces the WWS standard “Old US” engine line-up with the brawny engines from it’s big sister, the TwinSteer. The CrawlerBox HD transmission has also been added. I’ve also beefed up the suspension to match the “Heavy Hauler” designation, and added the Heavy Truck winch suite. An expanded selection of heavy tires is present as well.

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.

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.
