Peterbilt 389 Tuning Ideas

[dwram72]

One thing that I can't stress enough is painted frames. They are a huge staple piece of any dignified custom truck. Separate color pick for the frame may not be possible and hard to be implemented, but at least body color matched in the same way the SCI wheels and dash trims from the W9 DLC are, could easily be implemented.

I would absolutely love separate paint color for the frame. Yes Please!!
Also, the blind mount bumper with lollipop turn signals (as in the second photo you posted)is another part I would really want. Good thread

An auxilliary power unit would be nice.
Could be used in other trucks' accessory packs too.

Yes there are quite a few Auxiliary Power Units (APUs) - the most common ones are from Thermo King (https://www.thermoking.com/na/en/road/a ... units.html), Carrier (https://www.carrier.com/truck-trailer/e ... ailer/apu/) but there are also available from smaller companies like Green APU (https://greenapu.com/).

I do not recall an APU being offered from the factory for the Peterbilt 389 but trucks like the Freightliner Cascadia and Peterbilt 579 NG do have the option for battery power APUs (the Cascadia in-game does have that option).

I like these types of interiors.

Well I am continually updating my album of parts and items

While also updating Inspirations and show truck albums So I hope the devs take notice and use the examples..!

While I am using Iowa 80s Chrome shop part website? I also copy paste the true names to the part so they can easily search it themselves! ( Parts not from the I80CS I have to name myself, but most of them are named correctly )

We didn't get the classic steering wheels in the W900 Tuning Pack. In 389 they should be.

Ik it's a 379 but I'm wondering if the 389 can get this option.

[Gootho717]

Although I do not have a W900 in my fleet I decided to buy the tuning dlc to play around with (to see how to customize with 389) and wanted to ask the following:

When selecting full fenders (painted doubles in this case), shouldn't the mudflap change to attach to the fender instead of the truck frame?

Like at 1:02 of the video below?

Watch on YouTube

Or an option for an "X" to remove the mudflap altogether like at 3:20 of the video below?

Watch on YouTube

Another tuning option could be that "center" panel in the last video (available in painted and chrome versions).

Something to also keep in mind is that custom painted DPF boxes should be smooth all around, without checkered plates or anything of the sort... Like the picture shown below:

It makes skinning it much easier and it looks a whole lot better in game.
