Description
SBS (SeaBoss Systems) MULE Mk.II Heavy Duty Services Truck

Heavy Duty Version from the SeaBoss Systems (SBS) MULE Services Truck family. Upgraded to Medium Engine, 6 Wheel Drive and a larger fuel capacity. The Heavy Duty MULE offers the following features:

- 6 Speed Automatic Gearbox: Select P, R, N, D by clicking on the 1x1 Gear Selection Monitor, press the Accelerator and the Vehicle will take care of the rest. There are additional options available from the Driver's seat to Lock the Current Gear, Force Gear Up and Force Gear Down. Locking the Current Gear disables the Auto Shift. It is useful for cases where you want to maintain a lower gear to allow for more torque while doing extreme hill climbs or towing.
- An additional Gearbox that can be kicked in when pulling, climbing or anything with higher torque is required. It is engaged from the Gearbox Mod Selection Monitor. Just click on the MOD rectangle and it will kick in the additional gearbox which modifies all of the existing gear configurations.
- Variable Accelerator (W) and Variable Brakes (S): the longer they are pushed the greater the speed increase or brake pressure
- Switchable between AWD (All Wheel Drive 6X6) and RWD (Rear Wheel Drive) on the fly. RWD offers more acceleration on roads while AWD offers more power when climbing or offroading. Defaults to AWD.
- Switchable between 2 Wheel and 4 Wheel Steering (Front and Rear Wheels) allowing for tighter turning. When 4 Wheel Steering is active you can also turn on an additional mode (Parallel) which alligns all of the wheels in the same direction. This allows the vehicle to move somewhat sideways.
- Interactive Map in front of Navigator's Seat
- Two Winches - One Located in the Front Hatch, One towards the Rear
- Two sets of Firefighting Gear in main cabin, one set of Arctic Gear located in Front Hatch
- Electric Tow Hitch (WIP, working on trailer options)
- Multi Mode Radio (Single Band, Two Way) available in main cabin
- Parking Brakes, Light Bar, Hazard Lights and Heater
- Flare Launchers - 2 Smoke, 2 Illuminating Chutes

CONTROLS:
- Turn Ignition Key to Start and Stop the Engine. There is an auto-starter which will kick back in if your revs should ever fall below 0.5 RPS. The MULE is set to maintain a minimum of 4 RPS to prevent stalling. If it goes below 4 it will disconnect the engine from the transmission.
- Press P, R, N or D on the Gear Mode Selection Window in front of the Drive to put the MULE in to its required mode. When Park is ON you can rev the engine with the accelerator but it will not change gear. When Neutral is on you can rev the engine and it will switch gears. Putting the Gear Mode back in to Park will always return the current Gear to 1.
- Press/Hold button W to Accelerate. The longer it is held the great the increase. You don't need to hold it to keep moving. Think of button W to be like a gas pedal on a car. You press it to get up to speed and apply pressure when needed to maintain.
- Press/Hold button S to brake. Same as above, the longer it is held the greater the pressure. Quick taps will slow you down slight. NOTE: the brakes are on on both the wheel and also the Engine. Pressing S will stop the wheels and tell the engine to slow down (throttle)
- Button 1 disengages the Wheels from the Drive Shaft when held (Push). If you find you are skidding/slipping disengaging the wheels will eliminate the excess torque from the engine temporarily allowing them to start rolling again. Think of Button 1 like a quick way to slam the gearbox in to Neutral.
- Button 2 locks the current Gear in place preventing it from Auto shifting up or down
- Button 3 forces the current Gear Up. Can be used in either Auto or Locked mode.
- Button 4 forces the current Gear Down. Can be used in either Auto or Locked mode
- There is a button near the map screen that toggles between AWD and RWD. AWD is on by default.

Capable of speeds exceeding 150 km/hour and should not break heat greater then 90 degrees when running full out. Setup for High Speed Wheels but can be switched to All Around with limited effect on performance.

No I Have the lights working but when moving forward i get a green signal. But if have changed them so they can have a camera on the trailers. Added a controller so it changes when the trailer is added.

Thanks, Darkstar. I found the missing elbow you mentioned and fixed it. I also add a Fluid Anchor next to the Fluid Connector in preparation for the plugin update. In regards to the lights are you referring to the connectors being able to pass through reverse and brake signals? I have that working on my trailers POC. I'm going to post those trailers to the Workshop shortly.

You do need 1 improvement. I think you have one fixed already but the pipe form the external fuel connection to the fuel tank is broken. It is a simple fix all it needs is a angled pipe just on the inside of the connector.

P.S. I have made a ISO trailer for it. Just trying to find a way to get the lights to work.

Hi DarkStar. I had starting building a few trailers at the same time but got distracted on a new build. I've still got the frames kicking around ready to start on again. However if you want to build something new please feel free to do so. I appreciate the offer of a link but not absolutely necessary to do so. Would rather see the vehicle go to use and if you have any suggestions for improvements please feel free to mention. 😊

Is there any chance your going to release some trailers for your MULEs? If not would it be okay if I was to release some and link your trucks in the description.
