Conversion of
Jeep CJ-5 1976 Renegade from Spintires: MudRunner.
Description from the mod author:
Renegade is not a traitor. Rather – a double agent skillfully disguised as a hero…
But you could call it a traitor at least because of its size, which hardly fits the concept of an "American car." But it doesn’t need to. Small, but no less daring and cheeky than its bigger brothers. It seems this little one simply doesn’t care about other off-roaders. It sets its own rules of the game. This brand has a long and rich history. From a military prototype to a "black sheep" among modern crossovers.
But I settled on a rather well-known 1976 version, which personally looks just great to me. Classic headlights, neat shapes, minimal sharp angles, no malice, a kind and approachable look. All of this attracts in this car. The interior is just as simple and neat. What the Renegade never changed is the engine. A five-liter V8 engine with 130 hp. In this little one, it looks wild, but that’s exactly what you need to feel great both in the mud and on land, which is why a huge number of people fell in love with it. Now let’s move on to the game version, which has a number of interesting features, such as:
1) A large number of addons – 14 pieces
2) All animations and even more (for example, wiper animation and fabric on the roof)
3) Sound that roughly reflects the real thing
4) Excellent balance of off-road capability and speed
5) Versatility (tows everything possible and impossible)
6) 3D engine with the ability to inspect it
7) All the standard MudRunner perks, except water getting into the cabin (these are inevitable sacrifices)
There are also just a couple of nuances I’d like to warn you about:
Log loading is automatic due to the trailer size, it’s too small (place them tightly on the side and everything will be fine). Also, when the wipers are working, they sometimes pass through the mirror; this is a game-level issue, and I might find a way to fix it in the future, but for now, it’s like that. The bumpers twitch a bit when hit, but this also can’t be fixed in this situation without sacrificing suspension softness. That’s basically all the nuances.
In the end, I want to say that a lot of effort and time was spent on this vehicle, so I’m looking forward to your criticism, opinions, and suggestions about the mod.
Have a great game!)

P.S. From me, I’ll add, the car is fire! A beast even though it’s small)) Thanks to the author for the mod and thanks to Soul Reaver for the conversion!
