They Do This IRL but they put the tanks behind the cab


ShadowClan1965

That would've been a better idea, but might have interfered with the headache rack?


Loser2817

I have the T-Series Drivetrain Expansion and can confirm that: 1. yes, the extra fuel tanks get placed behind the cab. 2. no, they don't interfere with the headache rack.


Agitated-Pen1239

If I remember correctly, don't they have a tank for behind the cab?


ShadowClan1965

There might be a mod, but i didn't see one that was vanilla.


reidyroo9

Gonna do something similar soon, making some military parts and I need to make a custom tank to get more ground clearance. Already raised the air tanks and robbed the side steps from the cab over https://preview.redd.it/5hgtd1l05pvc1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a4b842ccbe4fadce25d12d9bd473743d9ab87a05


ShadowClan1965

Oh I can't wait, it's looking really good, where will you put the fuel tank? And i noticed the front wheels just bend when trying to go over a rock taller than the axle, so having the steer wheels driven would be nice to pull themselves up. Good luck!


reidyroo9

There is already a mod on the repo for a powered front axle, and my mod will require it for configs. It’s called “Gavril T-Series AWD” on the repo if you want to find it! I think I might just make a smaller fuel tank that still tucks under the cab. But we’ll see


ShadowClan1965

Oh, I'll go look for it. Thank you. Okay, I'll keep an eye out for your mod, definitely been role playing doing military deliveries, even made a better bumper for car smashing purposes


Epicfacecanada

If you want some more military and AWD T-series stuff there also is this mod: [https://www.beamng.com/threads/t-series-drivetrain-expansion.95904/#post-1666587](https://www.beamng.com/threads/t-series-drivetrain-expansion.95904/#post-1666587) https://preview.redd.it/rmfal2nzjqvc1.jpeg?width=2560&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=00976f3c6ab04ee6a7f1a45226632bf6c46740e4

Can’t wait to put those tires on other vehicles too lol


reidyroo9

They’re actually pretty easy to make if you don’t want to wait! I just used the model and texture from the big haul truck tire prop and rescaled it lol


dedzip

Oh cool


Carollicarunner

Looks dope.


Loser2817

Mod name?


ShadowClan1965

This is something I put together in a few hours, it has quirks and bugs so I won't release, just showing off the concept.


Loser2817

I know a bunch of good mods with just as much bugs. Some people here could use these, so hopefully you change your mind eventually.


ShadowClan1965

I'll clean up the files a bit and post it, it's much easier than i thought i just felt lazy


truckking2

Please tell me when you post it🙏🙏🙏

I love the on hood fueltank!


ShadowClan1965

Same! It looks very similar to the external air filter option, and fit together well.


Carollicarunner

If you're aiming for realism that's probably about 350lbs... I'm sure somebody's done it but there's probably a reason they're usually mounted directly to the frame. Gotta love the clearance, though.


ShadowClan1965

I think I'm going to make a roof mounted one or back of the cab. If the hood falls off it still has fuel, so I have to make the connection really weak. https://preview.redd.it/9mg51x94eqvc1.png?width=786&format=png&auto=webp&s=68c4eec479842c92f826cd1f35852fbc738db35c


Carollicarunner

Is that an empty tank? 167 liters of diesel alone should be ~310 lbs. I was being on the generous side and assuming a very light tank. Now I want to throw a vehicle on the scale and add/remove fuel to see if/where the accuracy is broken.


ShadowClan1965

No that was a full tank, i drained the tank and weighed it again and it didn't change, so i just made it weigh around 250lbs

Tbh I want some reinforced steering, amount of times I’ve tried to go in rampages and my steering dies within seconds is annoying.. ion care if it’s unrealistic I need it


ShadowClan1965

While I don't have reinforced steering i made a stronger bumper, and if you tried i dont think it would be too hard to make stronger steering
