    I've thought about it but not right now because I have already put a bunch of work in it to be correct but if I can figure out blender I might try to make something

    Because of body Jbeam....
    The jbeam and the suspension is too different in game version so as a result, the suspension blows up

    sorry guys but I am sticking this on hold for now because I cant do suspension. If anyone is willing to fix it pm me and I will send you the files. If it helps I was told that something is wrong with the hub structure.

    I was the dude who was supposed to make a trailer for this, but then I fell off the face of the planet for a few months.
    Are you still working on this one?

    I know this is 6 months ago, however, I know an answer. Just saw this when someone bumped the thread.
    The hub structure changed in 0.9.x - this is what they're talking about. It broke lots of old mods.
    I am sure SOMEONE can stick D-series hubs on here, without too much ado (though admittedly, I am anything but god at car modding, and would only make a Chris-worthy MESS out of it if I tried).

    If you know enough to recognize the hub structure in jbeam files, maybe you could do this up, as I mentioned above by copying parts out of the D-series (as a bronco was fullsize pickup based, and a bronco II was ranger-based like the explorer 1st and 2nd gen).

    Edit: you should post the old files here for people to grab and look at. Maybe I'll figure out what I am doing one day.

    P.S. I am partial to old Fords, we ran a lot of them (85~mid 90s) at my late father's concrete construction company. Nothing outlasted the Fords but the Chevy's came close (short of the doors falling off - hinge bushings - and the suspension idler/pitman arms wearing out, ball joints, which would in-turn wear the tires unevenly, and the steering had lots of play etc). The Dodge pickups couldn't even come close. We couldn't get 80,000 miles out of the 98 Dodge without needing half the suspension replaced, and many parts under the hood, the 03 went through two transmissions before 36,000 miles (Cummins diesel). Absolute junk.
    So yes, I love my old Fords. Could service most the whole truck (if not the whole truck entirely) with a pocket of tools, even if you were wearing 'nut-hugger jeans' as the young-in's call them today.
    300 straight 6 not running right, get out a regular screwdriver and go adjust that carb :)

    He's got more issues than the hubs. The entire suspension likes to float around like it's completely broken, honestly the whole suspension would have to be redone regardless, the JBeams in this are way to old to work in newer versions of BeamNG.

    I am working with @JBatic , I just need some time where I am not working on my own mod projects so I can fully take a look at the ins and outs of this mod, and see if I can't fix the numerous JBeam issues in the suspension.

    once the suspension is fixed I can fix a few other things like the cab not having a full floor since I can properly test them

    Sorry that I can't help with the suspension, but here you go.
    (If you can't see the video when you look for it, try again later. I have just started uploading at the time of this post.)

    Update: it's live.
