About This File
Just in time for the start of the Leafer Madness League, the 2024 update of the LF4 pack is now available! In this pack, we have completely revamped the look and feel of every truck from the original pack while also adding in some new trucks! The goal was to make the driving experience of all trucks more realistic while also giving each truck its own driving style. In addition we fixed bugs from the original and updating some graphics. Hope you all enjoy some good old Retro Monster Truckin' action!
