Them twin stick shifters are a great idea. the second stick could be mapped to do a lot of other functions like Jake brake, map, escape button, enter hold( while fueling up), music player, take picture, etc. The lighted CB is a cool add on, missed the days when people used cb's.
i am a truck driver and this is one bad ass set up!!!!! i bet this took some serious skill a lot of wiring and patience ! lol i would pay some serius money if i could have this set up in my home!!! that is so freaking coool!!! i play ats as my self and im working on getting out of parents house in to my own gig ! very impressive sir ! if you offer any services i would definley pay up some cash to have that!
@@PetrisonRocha one of these days. It would definitely be the final touch but wouldn’t be easy to set up in my current space is my problem. Maybe someday the wife will let me move it into the house. Lol
Hey great job I love the way you did your wire management I started doing ATS recently in the first job was in bend Oregon which I live in that area it's pretty cool!
If it wasn’t for my lathe in close proximity, I would love to have triple screens but I’ve accepted the space I have for what it is. Someday if I move the set up there will be more monitors. :). Thanks for kind words , I appreciate it.

Thanks for the kind words. :). I would love to try triple monitors at some point but I’m restricted for space to mount them and I’m very close to my lathe and flying metal chips. In the meantime I enjoy using the Track IR and has been a real game changer.
Mario , this is some sick shit right here…..lol. Subbed immediately! You must have some engineering background of some sort and a lot of time on your hands to be able to dedicate this kind of time into the rig. Awesome rig old chap!
Thank you sir and glad you like. :) I’m just a heavy equipment mechanic who loves building things and got a little carried away with this. Lol. Winters are long here so I had a bit of time to come up with this. If you haven’t seen, check out my latest upgrade I’ve done to the set up. :). ruclips.net/video/rLlVCl7irdo/видео.htmlsi=-21sM4LNrFlLpFo3
Thanks bud . Glad you like and definitely happy to inspire others to go for it. Thats why i share. It’s all about giving ideas and options to others so they can take that and run with it themselves.
Funny you say. The wife told me i should build a sleeper for it. I asked why, am i kicked out of the bed? She said i will be if i keep trucking so much. Lol
I will share my secret.... just need one of these and you can plug second shifter into a USB port. No fancy or complex stuff with that part of the build but until your aware of this stuff it looks like smoke and magic.... I know, been there in my Sim rig journey.:) www.ebay.ca/itm/155082836609
Good to hear. Love to inspire others and share ideas. It’s worth it bud. ATS was already a great sim but once you build the atmosphere for it makes it so much more enjoyable. Any questions, let me know. Glad to help any way i can. :)
That s really amazing. Except the two shifters. I would prefer one, if I could make the high/low switch to work that s more like real life me. But that’s amazing setup Sir.
Thank you for kind words bud. And yes, I can run with just the main shifter and use the switches on the shifter handle. When I drive in convoy mode , I’m only using the one. But I enjoy the twin sticks for the extra activity and immersion into the game while in single player. Especially when I’m driving my 521 needle nose KW with a 6V92 Detroit . :)
Hey good Brother.....Simply love your setup.......It's really submersive and truly gorgeous! Can I ask you what wheel that is?? I am running a Logitek G 920 in ATS and I've been looking for that exact wheel.....Any suggests would be highly appreciated!!!...Love tha Tilt Telee!!!! ..( I'm your age so it's great to see some of my silva brothers keepin it all goin!!).....Thanks again and KEEP TRUCKIN!!!....."K
Thanks so much for your kind words bud. Happy to see there’s more 50 something people out there and we gotta stick together. Lol . I’m using a G29 wheel in my set up. I was bored one day and had the idea to cover it up with kitchen cupboard or drawer liner material which is very easy to work with, tacks on with a glue gun well and can be removed with minimal damage. The wheel itself i searched high and low for. I refused to spend 500 bucks on a wheel and finally found this more affordable one. Found it on EBay..... www.ebay.ca/itm/304173977021... So far so good and have had no issues with my G29 even with the larger wheel and heavier.
what is your steering wheel driver from? a custom logitech solution or something else? can you link some items in your discription? awesome job by the way :D
Hello. My wheel is a standard G29 model which i custom covered with upholstery. The wheel is also equipped with a turn lever kit which is no longer available but a newer version is available. The kit includes a new mounting hub for any wheel you may wish to install. Here is link to the turn lever kit. www.amazon.ca/Obokidly-Upgrade-Simulator-Steering-Logitech/dp/B09M699FCV/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1G9A1MFY9AH1W&keywords=g29%2Bsteering%2Bwheel%2Bturn%2Bsignal%2Bkit&qid=1646517288&sprefix=g29%2Bsteering%2Bwheel%2Bturn%2Bsignal%2Bkit%2Caps%2C110&sr=8-3&th=1. The 18” wheel is from EBay. www.ebay.ca/itm/304173977021. Sorry if i missed anything.
Absolutely. Ive got a neighbour with a scrapped 80’s western star that I’m going to take the dash out and upgrade my set up . :) It might not be my personal preference for a truck dash but they were simple and not too large back then. Should fit my space nicely. And yes, there are companies offering software and kits to enable a person to make all the dash gauges functional. Digital or analog.
Very nice setup. Just missing 3 monitor or tv setup. Got about. 1200+ hrs myself in ATS. Got g29 wheel, pedals, TH8a shifter and SKRS add on shifter. Does your tablet. Display speed and RPM info? How you do that? Yeah I got old Ipad air 2 that starting die, ( battery is just about dead) and not worth getting battery replaced. Was wondering if could find some app that would display either gps or speed/rpm display for ATS.
The tablet display is using a program called Sim dashboard to capture the telemetry from the game. Only thing is, it’s an android program and iPads won’t work for that. Just a cheap basic Samsung tablet for instance will work. And the app is amazing, you can choose which gauges you want , where you want them etc. also provides a gps map if you desire but will not include your current route but will display the map if you know what i mean. Sim dashboard.
I’m curious what steering setup that is, been looking for one to buy lately and nothing looks good, but the wheel, pedals, and shifter looks like they work for you.
The wheel base is a G29 and then I added a turn signal kit, modified the hub to fit the big heavy wheel. Many people said I would burn out or break the G29 by mounting such a heavy wheel. Even myself I wasn’t sure what would happen thought it might be too much. But here we are over two years have gone by now. I use the rig on a weekly basis and no troubles at all.
And I’ve updated the pedals since that video. Here’s one that shows the new improved pedals which I love and are very comfortable now. Those are g29 pedals which I took out of plastic container , flipped and mounted myself. ruclips.net/video/rLlVCl7irdo/видео.htmlsi=86-7uOTQdg_iCnRj
The wheel itself is off EBay attached to a Logitech G29 but through a turn signal adapter kit with a 3D printed hub i drilled and modified to fit this wheel so, long story short, its a “one of “ kinda set up. :) www.ebay.ca/itm/304173977021
The wheel is a G29 which I added a turn signal kit onto. Then I had a 14” custom wheel on it and at a later date I went for it and put a 18” real truck wheel on it. Surprisingly enough, after over a year, it’s still working good even with big wheel on it. The turn lever kit came with its own wheel adapter plate so it’s a one of kinda set up and that lever kit is no longer available so hard to explain or share a link to it.
And forgot to mention I used some material to cover up the entire G29 wheel base to try and make it look real……I guess I succeeded eh? :) thanks for leaving a comment. Appreciate it. Have you seen my latest set up with a real truck dash? I’m loving and I’m done building ….I think. Lol. ruclips.net/video/rLlVCl7irdo/видео.html&feature=shareb
Its about a year into this project to get it to this point. I built first version and used for a few months , then added to that and used for a few months and so on until reaching the set up as it is today. Which reminds me , I have to post a new video showing the upgrades I’ve now added to the rig. It’s changed quite a bit since this video.
All is well here thanks. To answer your question, yes. Definitely worth it and I would consider a game changer type of addition to a sim rig. Hard to describe how just a bit of vibration in the seat can make things that much more immersive.
That’s right. I wear slippers only. :). When you say flip flops , to me that’s like sandals or the back of it is open. These are cowhide moccasin slippers.
It’s about like what I drove in the military Duce 6x6 but truck of today what I drove was nothing like this I can’t drive the real ones gps would be wrong too many time would be fired after 30 days
I couldn’t agree more. I love his set up. I would die for a pete dash…..but I did find a real dash, check it out. ruclips.net/video/WmR4a1OE-VE/видео.html
As a full time driver and Ats driver I truly love this setup and your dedication. Awesome setup 👌
Thanks bud I appreciate it. I always loved trucks but was born to be a mechanic. Fortunately i found a way to bring it all together and do both. :)

Great work my friend quality craftsmanship and ingenuity. This has inspired me to build my own rig....
Thanks bud . Glad you like and definitely happy to inspire others to go for it. Thats why i share. It’s all about giving ideas and options to others so they can take that and run with it themselves.
That is a cool rig I really like that setup I wouldn't be able to set a rig up in my place cuz it's too small
My wife wouldn’t let me set it up in the house so the garage works for me. Lol
Looks nice brother
Nice simulator man !
You've got such a dream rig setup of mine
DAMN. If I had one of those maybe my marriage would've lasted longer 😁😆
Funny you say. The wife told me i should build a sleeper for it. I asked why, am i kicked out of the bed? She said i will be if i keep trucking so much. Lol
