A little project ive been working on for fun. it adds a bunch of parts that turn the hopper from an offroad beast to a asphalt ripping hot rod. This includes:
- lowered suspension and increased wheelbase.
- fuel cell
- front mounted nos bottle
- Barstow bucket seats
- chopped front windshield
- fender brace bars
- all Barstow v8s/transmissions and their associated parts
- And more to come in the future
It comes with 5 default configurations:

Bugs/things I know I need to improve: Transfer case not properly mounted. Suspension geometry. kind of borked so it pulls a little bit in different directions. Shit exhaust texture.

Credits: Agent-Y for helping me with a few questions i had.
A bunch of people over at modding for dummies discord for again helping me with the many questions I had with blender and beamng. I wouldnt been able to make it this far so fast with my first mod without the help of the people there (sorry I can't remember specific usernames) Also the various tutorials on there are very helpful.
Foggysoda on reddit for the clever Hoprod name.
Beamng.drive, Models.
Note: camodo gamings video on my hop rod is not a accurate representation of the mod. Something was wrong on his end causing some bugs.
Note 3: abandoned life happens i dont have time to mod anymore and lost interest in it.

In the upcoming weeks mod approvals could be slower than normal.
