Here is a rough preview. It's not even a months worth of progress. [Clickety Click]

I have a rough understanding of 3D concepts due to school and OG help from Nobby on teaching me basic concepts back in the day. I'm learning something new every time I work on the mod

I'm a beta tester as well. In addition to beta testing I'm making my first car mod. An Acura Integra Type R with a JDM front end conversion (what I drive in irl haha)

 Modding tutorial for OFW Users
How to mod TDU2 on any PS3 you like!

UPDATED 1/10/15 12:53EST
Sorry for the terrible port over to windows...
I removed the %bkpath% functionality, as it just seemed to get in the way. You just have to type a few more characters now.
Please remember that this is a beta package, and you should take it with a grain of salt. Thank you for noting the issues with 0.7, I think I fixed it completely now... Keep letting me know if something is up!

Gentle reminder to that of the PS3 users using any sort of backup manipulation tool...
Remember that in all modding, you run the risk of getting banned from all PSN connectivity.

Introduction:
This tutorial will show you how to modify the contents of your PS3's HDD via direct editing of a HDD backup.
Modification of TDU2 on the PS3 requires editing of the update files that the PS3 downloads.
By having decrypted access to a HDD dump we can extract, edit, and re-install these update files.
The following tutorial assumes you've installed all of the TDU2 Update files on your PS3.
Note that this tutorial will only show you how to extract one file from this game; there are MANY others. I suggest you do a bit of fooling around, but remember;
1. These update files have a READ ORDER (meaning that the last file that's read by the game is the law of the game; So anything that's in a higher version of updates will be loaded instead of the earlier updates (or original .big files) of the game. You can find updates [here for North America - BLUS30527] and [here for Europe - BLES00884]. (You can find your Game's ID by looking at the disc.)
2. You NEED to keep file sizes! I honestly cannot stress this enough. If you save a .big file with ONE EXTRA BYTE, your game will not load.
3. If you edit and re-install a file from the game, you have to delete the old one from the backup before you restore it. Otherwise, the PS3 will just install the old file.

 Your issue was that you weren't naming directories properly. The folder you named was USERDIR, when it should have been USRDIR. Always double check your steps!

 I do know know why but this new updated version isn't working at all for some reason it's not finding my backup contents even though my backup is unedited 'PS3/EXPORT/BACKUP/000000000000'

Hey dude, do you want me to help you out a bit? Sorry you're having issues. Let's see if we can fix it.
Do you have enough spoace in the disk, first of all?
