    its good but it would be cool to see how you make your own body textures like if i wanted to make nitro hornet then how would i get the pictures and how would i match them with the script

    You bake the body using the uv map from the image editor.

    Everytime I try to put the mesh into it, this pops up (not going to post a picture but I'll read what it says):

    "The program can't start because OgreMain.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem" even though I already have it in. What do I do?

    You need some one on one assistance. I will help you when I get home from work, or I'm sure Mr. Self Destruct can help you start from scratch.

    I baked the body, probably can't fix it. :( 

    What? Edge Splitting and Smoothing has no effect on the UV map, which is what you create a baked image from. A body bake has nothing to do with anything.

    Did you buy them all when they were still at retail or did you buy them off the Internet?

    I was given $5 every week as an allowance, and I would do the laundry/mopping/sweeping/vacuuming in the house so my mom and dad would each give me $5 more , so when I would go shopping with mom or dad, I would buy 6 or 7 trucks at one time. I'm sure that I have every truck from every year up to 2005 or 2006. Those are just the ones that I kept in the package for some reason, the rest I have are loose.

    Just bought me this about 3 weeks ago. Loving every second of driving it. Little things wrong with it but got a good deal on  it and will get everything fixed up over time and make it look good as new. 

    My ladyfriend's dad has one just like it, I've driven it a few times. How is the bite point on the clutch? The one I've driven is really hard to start from a standstill, the clutch and flywheel are damaged from grinding gears so it's hard to tell when it's engaged, although he claims that he has only missed gears in it a couple of times, so I'm assuming the gearbox and drive train in them are rather fragile.

    Anyway, this is mine, it's a 1992 S10 with a 5 speed automatic. I bought the rims soon after I bought the truck, which was a feat in itself that I managed to find four rims in good shape with the right bolt pattern for the truck, seeing that the web barely has anything on the rims.

    I'm still rebuilding the interior, because the idiot that I bought it from was more concerned about making it a race truck than fixing the glaring problems it had with missing axle studs, brakes that probably hadn't been serviced since the truck was brand new, and severe floor and dash damage from water.

    This is also mine, it's a 1997 Dodge 2500 Cummins Turbo Diesel. Has always been reliable, I've never had an issue with it, the only problem is the clearcoat on the front clip and roof coming off, and now the regular paint has faded over the years, big time.

    And this is my dad's 1989 Toyota Shorbed. It's very maneuverable, and has a 4 speed manual, but that's about where the fun ends, due to the lack of power. :(

    And my mom drives a 2008 Toyota Sienna (This is just a random Sienna, I don't have a picture of ours).

    My dad built and owned a 1964 Plymouth Belvedere that he raced in Super Stock, but has deteriorated over the years, and he sold it to someone because they wanted to restore it, and my father and I really don't have time to take on the project.  11885152_761209827320808_662944458617455

    Sorry to take this further off topic, but I think people must realize Dennis Taft is from a different era when making such a site (or any website in general) was a HUGE pain in the ass, and in the 90s people were way more protective of content (for instance I remember when fan sites of any type would be taken down left and right). Obviously the internet is completely different now but he hasn't changed with the times. Having been there and done that, in a way I can understand why he is so protective of the images on his site, even if he has no understanding of the law. Also, when he made that site, there were no such things as tabs to drag and drop images in. Haha.

    That still doesn't give him the right to call images that he found off of the internet and images from yearbooks "his". He slaps his stupid little watermark on there, and calls them "his pictures", when they're not. Many a time on Monster Mayhem, he would see an image that he took from a website/was sent to him by someone who found it on a website, and go off on someone, interrogating them as to why they had taken "his" images without his "permission". I get that he's an older guy who put in a lot of work to build his website, and I'm glad he accomplished what he wanted to do to commemorate his love for monster trucks. But just because the image is on his website, doesn't mean it's his, and certainly doesn't mean that he can go off on someone when he more than likely found it the same place as the original poster.

    My IP has been flagged by him so I'm not aloud to right click in his page otherwise I would have posted this pic directly...

    You know that's just an in-browser popup, right? Your IP wasn't flagged. :P Plus, you can just drag the image into a new window or the desktop.
