Only 73 of these special cars were built. As Gavril's chairman, I can say with certainty that this was a thoughtful gift to our buyers and definitely not caused by a production line malfunction.

It does impressively well on the track, especially for an SUV, but be aware that it is very heavy and has no aero. As an added bonus, it's still 100% road legal.

    --Dakota Frontier (DCT) [2022] {GL8X561T}
    The ultimate in offroad SUVs. Combining the capability of the Blackfoot, the endurance of the Teton, and the adaptability of the Outback, This is a car you will not get stuck in.
    --Dakota Denali (DCT) [2022] {GL8X423}

    --Renegade (DCT) [2022] {GL8X335S}
    The commercial version of a government vehicle. It is comfortable, capable, fast, practical, so it's the perfect car! Oh yeah... fuel economy.
    --Renegade XEB (DCT) [2022] {GL8X335S}
    The commercial version of a government vehicle. Balances comfort, capability, performance, and practicality. It also has a longer frame. It is highly recommended that you bring extra gas cans, because saying this thing has bad fuel economy is a monumental understatement.
    --Renegade RTS (DCT) [2022] {GL8X561T Torquemaster}
    One day, Exodus got bored and made this. It has just about everything you could ask for: A big engine, low resistance tires, heavy duty parts, luxury interior, an extended frame, and more. It is designed specifically for going across the country and visiting every roadside attraction along the way. Not to mention that it has more torque than the T65. Unsurprisingly, the fuel mileage is dismally low.
    --Renegade RTS Summit (DCT) [2022] {GL8X561T Torquemaster}
    I hear you thinking: "The road trip special is great and all, but it has no offroad capability! What if I need to go through the woods?" Well, here you go. It is the same as the road trip special but with several components from the Dakota to make it a decent trail car.
    --Renegade RTS Velocity (DCT) [2022] {GL8X561T Torquemaster}
    I hear you thinking: "The road trip special is great and all, but it's so slow even with all the torque it has. What if I'm running late for a wedding or something?" Well, here you go. It is the same as the road trip special but with several components from the Shuriken to make it fast. Just be careful around turns- the thing accelerates like a track car, but it doesn't turn or stop like one.
    --Renegade Special (DCT) [2022] {GL8X335S}
    A show car to showcase the partnership between Gavril Automotive and Exodus Spacecraft. It was never actually showcased due to [SENSITIVE TOPIC].
    --Renegade PCR (DCT) [2022] {GL8X335R}
    An SUV that balances performance, comfort, capability, and throws practicality out of the 9th story window. It has a long ultra-heavy-duty frame, 3 link suspension, a 12-speed DCT, and a massive turbo. As Gavril's chairman, I can say with certainty that this was an original idea and not a cheap corporate copy of the Pines Custom.
    ---ROAMER (Custom)
    --Gamebreaker (M) [2001] {5.5L V8}
    Did someone say horsepower?
    --Super Dragster (DCT) [1993] {GL8I561R}
    1/4 Mile in 6.7 seconds, may be faster. Requires Meo's Drag Parts and AgentY Tuning.
    --Cursed (M) [1993] {Cursed 5.5L V8}
    Only continue reading if you want to know how to drive this. Ok, so here you are: 1. The torquecurve does not go past 5500 rpm, and is very "bouncy". Be careful about what RPM you are at. 2. The steering is inverted, so if you have a controller that has force feedback then you might want to turn that off. 3. The gears are switched around. R is 6th, 6th is R, N is 5th, 5th is N, 1st is 4th, and it goes on.
    --Deo Volente Spec (DCT) [2022] {Deo Volente 10L Flatplane V8}
    This Roamer can reach speeds of 836mph. It has lots of power, lots of gears, low resistance tires, and the aerodynamics of a brick wall. It is the fastest roamer that only uses its wheels to propel itself, until I am proven wrong. Requires AgentY Tuning and Gavril Vertex (for the wheels).
    --Breakable Frame Test (M) [2001] {GL8M335}
    A Roamer with a breakable frame and body. Basically, things can tear apart like the body of the bus. Also, because it can split in half, I have to make this joke: "TO SHOW YOU THE POWER OF FLEX TAPE, I SAWED THIS ROAMER IN HALF!"
    --The Evicerator (DCT) [2001] {5.5L V8}
    Durable does not begin to describe this. It does not use Indestructible or AgentY Tuning, but still manages to take a front end blow from the hero bus and not only still drive, but also steer straight. Not to mention it has 1100 horsepower without any turbos or superchargers. This does not technically break any rules, but is very overpowered and may get you removed from a server.
    --Overworked (M) [2001] {GL8M335}
    In 2001, a man named Archibald Rusefield bought a Roamer from a dealership. He put a tow hook on it and used it to haul things on his farm in Boring, Oregon. It worked there with minimal repairs until 2011 when Archibald died of cancer. It was found by his grandson, Chris Rusefield and was quickly and cheaply converted into an ametur racer. After a series of losses and under financial pressure, Chris left it in the forest of a nearby town and decided to start a new life for himself. 50 States License Plates is optional.
    --Pines Custom (DCT) [2001] {GL8M335}
    In 2016, a man named Mason Pines found an old rusty roamer in the woods outside of Boring, Oregon. He decided to restore it and turn it into a trail car. It is a real piece of work- It has lots of dents and rust, scuffed replacement parts, custom built 3 link suspension, a 12-speed DCT, and a homemade engine with enough power and turbo lag to make a Prasu owner proud. 50 States License Plates is optional.
    --Pines Custom (Alternate) (DCT) [2001] {GL8M335}
    In 2016, a man named Mason Pines found an old rusty roamer in the woods outside of Boring, Oregon. He decided to restore it and turn it into a trail car. It is a real piece of work- It has lots of dents and rust, scuffed replacement parts, custom built 3 link suspension, a 12-speed DCT, and a homemade engine with enough power and turbo lag to make a Prasu owner proud. Requires Nix 17x9 Offroad Wheels and IYB Offroad Tires. 50 States License Plates is optional.
    --Very Modded Race (DCT) [2022] {VXC-55}
    This total abomination was designed with a single purpose: Do the American Roads time trial in under 39:40, the time set by an SBR. It got a time of 35:17. Requires Wide Axles, AgentY Tuning, and Meo's Drag Parts.
    --Vanborghini (DCT) [2022] {VXR-55}
    "You just fix every problem by adding more throttle!"- Sliphantom. It's a big chrome van with loads of power and racing slicks. Requires AgentY Tuning (for sounds).
    --Soccermom Utility Vehicle (A) [2022] {GL8X561HD}
    "This vehicle has 27 cupholders, at least"- Sliphantom. It's a big, over-the-top SUV with every optional feature and gets 9 miles per gallon.
    --Tofu Delivery (DCT) [2022] {VXR-55}
    I came from the bottom, and into the top! For the first time I feel alive! I can fly like an eagle, and strike like a hawk! Do you think you can survive?
    --Tofu Delivery Extended (DCT) [2022] {VXR-55}
    No one can overtake you if you take up the entire road
    --#144 'General Yeet' Baja (SEQ) [2022] {VXR-55}
    An actually decent baja racer. Although it is heavier than pretty much every other contestant, it can take jumps like a movie car thanks to its reinforced suspension and frame.
    --#742 'Overheat' Race (SEQ) [2022] {VXR-55}
    As a master car designer, I have to admit my failures when they happen. This is a failure. It has decent acceleration, but it understeers like crazy and the brakes overheat faster than Chernobyl.
    --#742 'Overheat' Race (Alternate) (SEQ) [2022] {VXC-55}
    As a master car designer, I have to admit my failures when they happen. This is a failure. It has decent acceleration, but it understeers like crazy and the brakes overheat faster than Chernobyl. This thing also has an F1-like engine that tops out at 17000 rpm.
    --#618 'Wicked' Drift (SEQ) [2022] {VXR-55}
    Powerful, agile, back-heavy, and spins out a lot. So basically it's a Bolide.
    --#618 'Wicked' Drift AWD (SEQ) [2022] {VXR-55}
    This still counts as drifting, right?
    --#120 'Kill Rod' Rock Basher (SEQ) [2022] {GL8X561T}
    Sometimes, you just gotta send it
    --#120 'Kill Rod' Rock Basher Diesel (SEQ) [2022] {GD8X683T}
    Sometimes, you just gotta send it
    --#682 'Time Out' Drag (SEQ) [2022] {VXR-55}
    For the man who cares not about grace, aero or the advantages of weight reduction; for the man who gets an SUV and immediately takes it to the drag strip.
    --#682 'Time Out' Drag Meo Turbocharged (SEQ) [2022] {LSX 454}
    For the man who cares not about grace, aero or the advantages of weight reduction; for the man who gets an SUV and immediately takes it to the drag strip. Requires Meo's Drag Parts and Meo's LSX 454.
    --#682 'Time Out' Drag Meo Supercharged (SEQ) [2022] {500 CUI V8}
    For the man who cares not about grace, aero or the advantages of weight reduction; for the man who gets an SUV and immediately takes it to the drag strip. Requires Meo's Drag Parts and Meo's Funny Car Engine.

    How much of this is actually in game? Because that's A LOT OF SUFF, even seems like more than on the Gavril Vertex

    These internal pieces are just gonna have JBEAM differences and not model differences, and most of them are already done. It's the body panels that I'm worried about, because BNEditor isn't very user-friendly and I can't make a functional or good looking model to save my life. I'm still tweaking and adding sketches, the next sketches are probably going to be the interior and wheels. Also, I have decided to just edit that post instead of making a new one so the thread isn't a lightyear long.

    What does BNEditor even have to do with modelling?? And who even still uses it? Watch some Blender tutorials, boxy models like this can't be too hard to make, and for the Jbeam just edit the existing parts

    BNEditor is for making the JBeams align properly, not modeling. Also I have seen blender tutorials and I know how to use it now (except for why it doesn't import with a UV map), and I am editing existing JBeams for most of the parts.

    Sorry, I have had absolutely no time to work on this lately. I have made some slight config and naming changes but that's it.

    Alrighty, the post at the top of this page has been updated.
    1. Added concept variants to Shuriken (GT), Avalon (IXS), and Dakota (XTR)
    2. Names have been updated and now the parts will be referred to this name
    3. Redrew almost every sketch
    4. Spent way too long making configs (Take a look through them. Some of the descriptions are funny.)
    5. Added marketing info
    6. Not visible on the post, but I've cut the amount of parts I need to make in half by simplifying the part tree
    7. Added a list of all the engines available out of the factory

    I've got bad news-

    My computer's D drive, which contains a good portion of my games including the mod, got corrupted. I've spent the last week trying to recover it, but I haven't gotten anywhere yet.

    Its probably a good idea to think about shutting down your development. Maybe give someone like Finn Wilkinson a try on your modern Roamer. Hes a skilled individual but I dont know if he accept suggestions. Obviously things are not going so well if after over a year since this thread was made. All you ever accomplished was a new hood and a million concepts and ideas. I think putting this thing to rest or giving it to someone else is the best thing you will ever see, sorry :/
    You did try but you obviously don't have the tools to create this and you lack the skills to even make a body. I've seen some meshslaps thats were way better quality. Someone else should be put in charge here. Someone with skills you are the owner of this. Someone can develop and you can make orders or decisions based on what improves on the design
    --- Post updated ---
    Honestly you should think to yourself about how long it has been and the fact all you ever created was a hood. Literally a hood someone could make in 15 minutes or less
    --- Post updated ---
    If i had the skills to jbeam and model i'd do it for you for absolutely nothing not even credit
    --- Post updated ---
    But unfortuntely just like you and some other members out there. We're all just inadequete people hoping to be the big one like Kueso and others
    --- Post updated ---
    but all we've ever accomplished was having dreams that never came true and emberassing the community with 3 year kld threads about promising mods that never even got developed due to complete incompetence
    --- Post updated ---
    Even just looking at all these depressing threads saddens me. We've seen those vehicles. things like the soliad paradiso and prefacelift grand marshal. things like your modern roamer and many others. These were VERY promising ideas that barely went past the sketching stage
    --- Post updated ---
    all because of the lack of skills or a complete loss of motivation because of more ideas then possible
    --- Post updated ---
    I feel bad about the paradiso thing. That dude was so good... but he let his ideas overwhelm him. It was like "soliad paradiso almost finishes" cans it starts new project cans it. new idea. cans it quits development. disappears
    --- Post updated ---
    Be the guy who goes with your gut. If your gut urges you to can this and move onto something a bit more reachable do it. if your gut instead longs for making sure this does happen go for thaf. Just remember here. "do the thing that you think is best"
    --- Post updated ---
    Shit. I had a idea once. It was just a paint picture overlapping the legran. It was a Soliad version of the Legran styled like a lincoln
    --- Post updated ---
    It never went past the concept. nobody took my idea. one dude said he would think about it but then didint since i couldnt pay him
    --- Post updated ---
    it would be hard for you too to get someone thats takes your project and reimagines it as something more or even a improvement on what you already have. things like changes rhat make it lore friendly
    --- Post updated ---
    Your project is not going to see the light with how long its taken to make a single part. and the fact you started making the body but lost everything due to a garbage drive tells me everything i need to learn about this project and who runs it. You need some serious hardware that won't fail on you. Or even start backups. Backups you store in your email.
    --- Post updated ---
    if you do either one of those your project will be back to a better status. Maybe even end up a successful run showing you truely that with the right hardware one can make a wonderful mod
    --- Post updated ---
    you need a computer like me or the dev dudes But there is also that one guy urbanmaid whos currently developing cars on military hardware like a true chad

    Wow what a long rant, you didn't have to go so hard on the quality of the mod, it had some potential, just the execution wasn't there due to lack of experience. That is why you start with simple stuff instead of one massive mod that is so big that it has to be split in 2 and even then each of them is way larger than an average repo mod...

    Alright, I have some good news and some bad news.

    The bad news is that I haven't recovered the old D:drive yet.

    The good news is that with money and help from my dad, I have a new PC. It even has 4 solid-state 1TB drives. The GPU hasn't been replaced yet though...

    I want to keep working on this but thanks to constant failures, lack of experience, lack of time, and dwindling motivation, passing it on to someone else to help me work on it might be a good idea.

    I might want to continue the mod, if you have discord send me the link via discord and I'll work on it more.
