GoKawiilZanaZamora, the U.S.-based trucker who packs a powerful driving sim rig in their semi, just posted an update about it that went viral on Reddit. The sim racing and flight sim enthusiast said in r/SimRacing Setups that Conspit, the brand they used for the driving-sim wheel on their original gaming rig, worked with them on these upgrades.
The biggest change that we saw with the semi-truck sim rig is the white GT-Lite racing rig with a white-and-blue Pro racing seat. ZanaZamora said that it “not only looks fantastic in here but also fits better in the limited space. A surprisingly small footprint for such a beefy rig. The proper racing bucket seat is way more comfy, with proper posture not only adding to immersion but helping with feeling and reacting to the feedback from the controls better.” Aside from the rig and seat, they also received Conspit CPP Evo 3 pedals, an Ares Platinum wheelbase, a quick adapter, and a dashboard.
The Redittor and truck driver said that the parts and accessories are much smaller and lighter than their previous build, which is crucial for the limited space that they have inside their truck.

Aside from these racing-centric upgrades, we also see a few other new parts. For example, it looks like they now drive a Corsair K95 RGB Platinum XT keyboard and a proper Stream Deck — significant upgrades from their old wireless keyboard and generic macro pad.
ZanaZamora said that their friend owns the truck that they drive, and that “he actually supports it for the most part,” referring to their “unhinged setup” that sits on the passenger side of the semi. When a commenter asked what “for the most part” meant, they said, “For the most part, as in ‘that’s cool, but I have bills to pay, don’t stay up all night gaming.’"
Even though some may think installing such an expensive setup in a truck is a bit risky for theft, the trucker said everything is bolted to the sim rig (which we assume is securely installed on the truck itself). “It’d be a pain to steal any of this,” ZanaZamora said. They also added, “It would take some time and tools, i.e. planning. And the only time I’m ever off the truck that long is when it’s parked securely at my house.”
