Interesting color change on the stock wheels!
Lose the wire loom, you want to hide wires, not make them more noticeable.

OK
There is a brake lever on the column of the big rigs. It locks the trailer brakes only. It's called a "Jake Brake" it's also called a "Trolley Brake"
Whenever you see a trailer going sideways in a movie like that. kinda like drifting

^^^^^ lol! a jake brake and a trolley brake are two completely different things. a trolley brake allows you to control the trailer brakes more independently of the truck. a jake brake is a brake that uses the engine to slow the vehicle. so how effects exhaust.
