I am aware that truck requests are never really very popular and chances are this wont result in this truck getting made but ill try it anyway.

this is the truck maybe not the same paint job but it would be fun to use.

As for anyway who is about to tell me to do it myself, i haven't the skills or even the faintest idea where to start

Well I can tell you where to start.

And once you've got round that

Oh BTW if you do have a go at this DON'T try out the binedit tutorial before the repaint tutorial, it's like trying to learn to walk before you've learned to crawl.

I'm afraid there is a big flaw with 6X6 trucks in MTM2 tcbdigger.

To make only the front wheels turn and the rear ones stay in place, the rear axles must be placed in the same Z-axis as the front axle to give the illusion of one axle. Here's the problem:

When you make a turn the overlapped axles separate, so it looks like you have 8 wheels.

To this day I don't think any solution has been found for this.

I just uploaded one that I walked through (BinEdit). I never crawled through anything (Just Repainting). :)
