    I am an engineering student. So I like to design things. The problem is there is really no place to get truck/offroad related CAD models to design around. For people who are big into DIY working things up in Solidworks or SketchUp is a real time and money saver.

    Right now the library is small, just a few items I have found and modeled. I will keep a list of what is in it along with a render of what each model looks like.

    To upload models you have created follow the link to the Google Drive. Make a new folder and name it properly so we know what it is.

    I doubt this will ever happen but supporting sponsors can feel free to upload STEP files as well to help to fill out this library. It would really help some of us who are more visual as well to see how your components will fit our rigs.

    From what I am hearing there is no accurate models of ANY of our vehicles... BUT!......

    You can help then! What you can do is take a little time measure the bed of your truck and create a model of it. It dosent have to be extremely detailed or intricate just enough so you can design your camper shell. Then as you are designing your shell you can use components from the library.

    All I would ask in turn is that you upload your model of the truck bed so that you can help other people out. It's pretty simple just an honor system give and take kind of thing :D
