Any plans on chrome platting the chassis? Or just going with a wicked paint job?

| Re: Harley's Wraith - Jimmy's 4x4 Ultra4 I decided I'll be going with a silver heavy duty wheel paint. It's got some light flake in it, looks good when using it on full size roll cages and bumpers so I'm sure it will still come through on this cage.

I was starting to work on the rear truss last night. Used the metal template I cut the other night to make a new one out of 16ga. Made the initial cuts with the bandsaw then went to trim out the remaining pieces. Then tragedy struck... RIP 2007-2012 |

What did the dremel do? I had a old one that a rubber coupling broke between the motor and the spindle. I fixed it with a female ax10 drive shaft. |

Well got an hour or so of work done on the truck tonight. I'm having clearance issues at the moment with the rear truss, panhard link and rear steer linkage. I am going to do some more brainstorming on it this week but in the end the centered rear axle may have to go in favor of the traditional offset pumpkin As it sits. Some comparison pics of the old stock chassis. Rear truss in it's first mock up. |

Saw this on facebook and wasn't sure if you had Jimmys race team on there. Made me think of your build |

The splines on the servo horns look great, nice and deep. However the length is shorter than I thought they would. I'll mock them up and check to be sure they are long enough. | |

Is that lightbar going under the cage or above it? I'm ready to see how it's going to get mounted then steal your idea! It's looking great!
