RUCKUS (Cadillac Escalade monster truck)

 For this project, I started with a GMC SUV body from the game 4x4 Evolution and threw away the original texture files.
I reworked the hood and front end to the proper shape, and then created all new body textures and mapped them to the model.

 Once I had completed the stock body, I modified a copy to resemble a fiberglass monster truck body shell with inner
and outer surfaces, trimming the bumpers and enlarging the wheelwells to fit large 66" tires. a Patrick-style frame was
fitted below, complete with suspension and anti-sway bars.  A custom paint scheme with "RUCKUS"  graphics was
created and applied to the paint.

  A supercharged V8 with animated belt and pulleys was bolted in, as
well as a fuel tank and an aluminum radiator with an animated cooling fan.

 The tires sport custom textured tire treads and simulated chrome wheels and beadlocks. Axles with hydralic steering cylinders complete the model.

2 trucks are included.  The low-vertex version is for online competitions
