This guide will walk you through the process of installing the Grimes Spring Mod for the 2026 season.

ATS: 19:00 (7 PM) - 07:00 (7 AM)
ETS2: 19:00 (7 PM) - 07:00 (7 AM)
The modification can be downloaded in two different ways for both American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2. You can either download it with advertisements for free or download it without advertisements for $1. Both links can be found below.
