so right too the jucy bits spent hours of work jbeaming this and adding thermals ect some things are still buggy though, engine may need a re-jbeam (done) UPDATE 0.1 improved jbeam More engines (thanks to josh for the realistic torque curves) radiator support bugfixes UPDATE 2.0 new engine options (engines from D-15) D-15 radiators tow hitch and small trailer+giant flail (wip) ford bronco suspension (VERY WIP) more jbeam work fixed bugs tweaked tires more configs UPDATE 3.0 emergency bug fix I had watched whybeare's vid about this and he pointed out major bugs so I got to work ASAP fixed wheel well glitch issue fixed invisible exhaust fixed radiator issues (name confusion) fixed interior bug fixed suspension fixed configs being wrong remove old zip then install new one UPDATE 4.0 (latest) steering wheels now use "common" steering wheels (you can now put on any steering wheel) suspension now has an option to use "common" wheels WIP added "BeamNavigator" support added vehicle selector pics color selector now works jbeam tweaks general bug fixes renamed things to look better fixed some parts being named wrong renamed some wip parts to have wip before the name(ex: WIP F150 I6) the gavril D-series suspension swap leaked last update so I am keeping it in thanks to josh, Betatester and AwesomeRacer456 (and all the content creators that helped with my questions) for automation torque curves, help and vehicle selector pics
so far so good. Engine and trans are gutless, but thats period correct. Radiator seems a bit easy to mess up, overall cool though!
Alright, I got some already for the bronco, ill paste over. --- Post updated --- Added HD radiator Renamed Updated Radiator to "SD Radiator" Added 351M Added 351 HO (tuning option) Added AOD 3 Speed W/ OD Refer to top post for newest update..
Nice, although I would prefer you pm me as to not clutter up the thread with chat and such download will be updated btw
the bronco I'm doing is based off this so maybe we can help each other? Or use parts from each others mods like bumpers, grilles,wheels, engine and transmissions. As for the most part a lot of parts are interchangeable between the two and I cant model so I would like to maybe use parts from this as it is a later model year with ford badging and bumper guards instead of F O R D lettering and the older style bumpers. Maybe make the parts from this an option as a lot of stuff on this would look great on the bronco. --- Post updated --- I noticed that your front suspension is jbeamed wrong as it acts like like a double wish bone design and not like the ford design as the axle itself deforms. to see this position the camera under the front end and use the node grabber to pull down on the frame. if you want to you can use the front suspension off the bronco as it behaves normally unless you land too hard, then the suspension will go through the the front of the bronco and it is hard to get the wheels off but those are the only issues with it. Overall this is a good improved mod
sure, I am working on a update that overhauls the front jbeam and adds more to the engine bay (radiator support) new update will include: lots of jbeam Front radiator support new engines wheel well cover things possibly a better suspension as the current one is not very realistic
maybe when you are done with the jbeam on your truck could you please help me fix the front facsa, add a radiator, fix the interior jbeam, fix the tailgate and make the top detach. As I break something almost every time I touch the files and cant figure out why, witch is why I need help. If you are up to it we can swap some parts between the two so you get the older bumpers and badging and I get the newer bumpers and badging as options for the two. You don't need to help me if you don't want to but if you can that would be great. PS if you want some parts you have my permission to use anything from the bronco as the bronco shares everything with the f series except the cab and frame.
Update! (uploading) this update includes new jbeams and engines and what was mentioned above some meshes don't want to load (but the jbeam is there)(will be fixed) --- Post updated --- UPLOADED!
Do not change the axle. Nearly all Ford Trucks that were Four Wheel Drive had a front axle designed like this. Here is an example. It is a Dana axle of sorts, I forget the model. This was designed specifically for the Four Wheel Drive Ford Trucks. Weird suspension design, but it works.
--- Post updated --- @Josh could you delete the file in your post as the engines are included in the update and I dont want people to download an old version
@Josh could you delete the file in your post as the engines are included in the update and I dont AH I think I get it @JBatic was saying the suspension is supposed to be a solid axle but I took a close look at the picture @Powered_By posted and the suspension looks to act like an independent suspension in a weird way
