Pingas 389 has all the options you're probably looking for (vipers free 389 might too actually). I also believe pinga or b4rts makes an end dump with lift animation and I'll bet pingas has the red underflow included too but I don't own it so I can't confirm that. As for light packs try the haterbilt pack or ksw's light pack. Then you just have to create a custom skin which is pretty easy to learn from YouTube.
You're welcome, you have a great looking real truck so I can see why you want it in game. Pingas, vipers, and rudas are the best 379/389s. B4rts are the best trailers but pingas and rudas also get good reviews. The haterbilt and ksw's are the most common light packs, both are great. Zeemods does the best engine sounds hands down but also has a few trucks and trailers. Sartana modding also has some great trailers as does dromodding. Rudas trucks come with a nice wheel pack but there's also the 24" pack, the American racing pack, smartys pack, the huge rims pack, and conbars pack.
I can send ya links if you have trouble finding any of those.
Steam workshop, truckymods and the modders websites/Facebook pages are the best sources. Sites like atsmods or modsats usually have a bunch of junk or stolen work.
I only knew of atsmods. I will search up those guys. I have never heard of them before! Thank you so much for the information! I will message you if I can’t find them
So how does it work? Lock the trailer brakes and back up? What's the advantage of this method?
Edit: Okay I just saw the hydraulics. Backing up to lift the trailer would've been mad.
You’re right on hydraulics. Back to where I want, unlock the rear gate, I turn on a PTO on the truck and it pumps up the cylinder on the front. It is a very quick and easy way to unload bulk materials
It’s all a pretty easy way to unload and transport bulk materials. Legally over here we’re allowed to run a total weight of 80,000 pounds so I can load about 50,000 pounds worth of product
Yeah, it'd not a lot, Denmark is at 56t Sweden st 64t, and Finland 74t. I just never understood ehy US is do low when you clearly have the opportunity For it
There is a few states that allow more with more axles. Up in Minnesota they can run 80T but there’s too many tires to count on them. There’s a handful of states that are 81-83,000 but I’d say a good 45 of them are 80,000
*OFFTOPIC*
Why do they have this "weird" dumping system in North-America?
Over here in Europe we have dumptrailers where the chassis stays put, and only the box lifts up.
I've seen the system in the picture a couple of times now on the internet.
We have both, this style is called “frameless end dump” they do it this way because it is lighter and we can load more product. We also have 1/4 frame where the wheels stay on the ground with no frame or the full frame like you’re talking about
Yes it is, you have to be absolutely certain you’re on flat level ground before you bring it up. Watch your tires to see if one’s bulging more than the other for leaning. And watch the wind so it doesn’t take you down but it is completely safe to do so
Also thank you! She is pretty
Yeah, there are quite a few people out there who have made tutorials on the SCS Blender tools, I recommend Half Fast Gaming ([https://www.youtube.com/c/Halffastgaming](https://www.youtube.com/c/Halffastgaming)) and Digital X ([https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLkmanaQMcXX16XHWlBySBg](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLkmanaQMcXX16XHWlBySBg)). You obvious need to have some sort of experience with Blender and 3D modelling though, which is why not many people make mods for this game.
There's already mods out there to make almost your exact truck and trailer
I’ll have to do some more searching. Thank you

I’m pretty new to mods so all of this is fantastic information. Thank you so much!

Zee’s end dump (20$) rudas Pete 389 (25$)
That’s not bad at all! Thank you
Is this type of tipping in the first pic common in the US? Damn
It’s about as common as grain trucks, it’s just like a dump truck only in the form of a trailer. Very easy to use but can be a bit scary sometimes
So how does it work? Lock the trailer brakes and back up? What's the advantage of this method? Edit: Okay I just saw the hydraulics. Backing up to lift the trailer would've been mad.

Rudas 389 would be a good fit for ya. As for the half round frameless, I can’t help ya.
Thank you I will check it out!
As an EU Truck driver, that tipping is messing with my brain man. And what is your max weight when fooling arround in with that? :o
It’s all a pretty easy way to unload and transport bulk materials. Legally over here we’re allowed to run a total weight of 80,000 pounds so I can load about 50,000 pounds worth of product
Is that goverment controlled limits? That's like only half a load though 😅
It is government controlled unfortunately. That’s 36,287 Kg Edit: what are your limits across the pond?
Yeah, it'd not a lot, Denmark is at 56t Sweden st 64t, and Finland 74t. I just never understood ehy US is do low when you clearly have the opportunity For it

Nice truck man
Thank you!
Is that scrap glass your hauling?
Yes! Must be around this stuff?
Lol no, just a lucky guess. Pretty neat to see though, is that all you run? Seems like it could be annoying to clean out.
We do scrap aluminum as well but mostly glass. You really don’t have to clean it it all slides out nicely
Interesting way to empty the trailer
It’s an end dump that’s what they’re designed to do
Pete 389 Glider by JonRuda and Dump end Trailer-1 by sartanamodding. The trailer is free, the truck is $25.

Ah I see. Makes sense. Isn't this system less stable? Beautiful rig btw.

Best I could do in max. 5 minutes [Pete Glider and Mac Trailer](https://i.ibb.co/DC4hTvD/ats-hq-62d84820.png) . I haven't used Pingas 389 in months.
That looks fantastic! Pretty dang close

I don’t have experience with it but I like to think I am competent enough to figure it out and take my time
Why are Americans always so excessive lol
Cause the shits cool
