Badass Bobcat by JoeVK ---------------------- About a year ago, I started making my own vehicle mods. The first few were crappy quality, so I never released them. My very first one was a modified Bobcat. It was lowered, had Slamvan rims, a custom hood, the Uranus's airdam, and a few other tweaks, but I was never really happy with it. So recently I decided to start over, and make a few bigger modifications while I was at it. The modifications: ------------------ -Choice of 2 versions: standard-cab or extended-cab. The following changes reflect both versions. -Full phantom style grill. -Replaced the area behind the front bumper with a body color panel. -Removed the license plate area of the front bumper. -Raised the center section of the hood to create a cowl-induction style hood. -Deleted all of the exterior badges, including the huge "BOBCAT" on the tailgate. -Deleted the rear bumper and attached the rear license plate to the chassis mesh. -Added the Uranus airdam extra, modified to fit. -Removed the long, chrome step bars from under the cab. -Replaced the door mirrors with ones I robbed from the Buccaneer. -Removed the original exhaust system and added 3 different exhaust systems as extras. -Removed or replaced all extras except for the bed cover. -Retextured the tail and reversing light lenses using the Huntley light texture. -Replaced the Slamvan rims I originally put on it with modified Comet rims. -Replaced the rear suspension with the Rancher's solid-axle, leaf spring rear suspension for a little realism. -The valve covers on the engine are retextured chrome. The extras: ----------- 1-The Uranus' airdam (minus the offroad lights). 2-Hard bed cover. It's texture mapping was tweaked, but it's otherwise unchanged from the vanilla Bobcat. 3-Soft bed cover. Scratch-made by me. 6-Rear-corner-exit dual exhaust with quad tips and the Faction's turbocharger setup. 7-Mid-side-exit dual exhaust with large oval tips and a single carburetor with a chrome open-element air cleaner. 8-Rear-exit dual exhaust with the E109/COntender's tips and the Feltzer's engine cover. Bugs: ----- Extra_7's exhaust doesn't emit steam, smoke, or flames. This is a game limitation (not enough exhaust dummies for 3 exhaust systems). At times, the rear suspension and axle clip through the bed floor, and the wheels clip through the sides of the body. I did my best to limit this, but it still happens.
