I've never really cared too much for painting or making graphics for trucks in RoR, but I thought I needed to make my first real official custom truck for me to use in some leagues that allow custom trucks. So, I decided to play around with Photoshop a little bit and came up with this:

Any constructive criticism is more than welcome for it. I want to keep it on this body model (credit to John Dough for the model), but I'm thinking off adding a few more sponsor decals and a few other small details to it. Here's a chassis picture as well, and yes, some of the colors will be changing on it:

When me and Adam Anderson were on Skype, he mentioned how Ryan was playing Rigs of Rods on his T.V. I asked what is was about, and he mentioned how it was this really cool monster truck driving simulator that he got off of Sim-Monsters. Well, a year later, I got around to looking into it more, then on August 13th, 2012, I played with RoR for the first time. Of course, wasn't good at it right away, but I got the hang of it after about a month. I competed in my first fun run later that month, then my first league event in the second weekend of September.

Some old school car crushing...

Just awesome. Incredible work John.

Only 2 things I would suggest updating to make it look more accurate.

 

First being the planetary hubs, they are fully blue.

*picture*

 

Also I would suggest adding shock tower brackets so that way the shocks look like they are attached to the shock towers instead of floating there.

I'm getting new rim models made up for it so it has the new Pettibone planetary cover model, along with 12 lug nuts and 6 triangle supports.

A little constructive criticism, you have the front shocks mixed up. The coil over should be infront of the nitrogen shock according to the picture. Other than that, looks great!

Yeah, I realized that they were swapped around. I've been working on fixing them.

Did a little bit of prop updating and placement for EVO

Ill believe it when I see it..... 

This is one of two apparent tire designs that Feld will be using on their fleet trucks come 2015. 

I'm most excited for Mikey Vaters Jr.   But how is Trent Montgomery not in there?  Really C'mon....

Iron Outlaw is booked for another event that same weekend.

I'll also be happy to work as the RII official for the event as well, if that position is still needed. 

Mulisha is a FELD owned truck, correct?

Yes, Metal Mulisha is owned by Feld Motorsports. 

Me and Chris are working together on more of those updates. I'll be releasing some soon myself, and he will also.

Doughboy's views on Monster Jam are FAR from the real thing.

I'm sorry, but Bo wins, automatically. 

Doing some axle housing remodeling for Overkill Evolution. Pretty much rebuilding it from scratch. Won't be the same once I'm done with it. 

Did you go to the Saturday shows only because I went to the Sunday show only. If you only went to those shows then that's why I more than likely did not see you there.

Only went all-day Saturday. We would've went Sunday too, but we couldn't find a cheap and decent hotel room in the area to stay overnight at.

Funny we just started talking about Sims...

Making progress, slowly but surely! This truck is turning out like the real thing, won't be ready until show time this weekend! We'll make it though. Huge thanks to Mark Colineri for texturing this for me. A few more things to fix then it's time for exporting!

That would definitely be one heck of a fun run!

Already working on a Digger #30 with Chris Hamilton. 

I got some requests for this track, so I figured I'd start on the 1999 Monster Jam World Finals from St. Louis, MO...
