Harley's Axial Wraith Build - Jimmy's 4x4 Ultra 4 KOH Style

[Harley]

Another chassis update from the DMG.

Plate steel boat sides added




Full inner fender wells





Dash top since the A-pillar slants so much more than the stock Wraith chassis.





The current stance is looking amazing. This isn't the hood that will go on this rig in the end. I'll have a whole write up on that process.





Can't beat this rig!

I doubt I'll ever stop calling it my Wraith. The chassis is being referred to as a "Jimmy's chassis", for lack of a better name. Since its modeled after some of their full size pieces.

That's all Jerry.

Do you have any links for your Inspiration on the jimmy chassis? Any ideas on seats or interior choices? And how many lights you going with? Thanks for your time.

[Maddog Madigan]

Last ? Did you or are you receiving a Exo buggy soon or are you strictly scale?

Yeah I've got links, I'll have to get them tomorrow though.

Seats, Team3six Ultimate Wraith seats or something fancy named like that. The interior is just a trimmed stock interior. May get a fresh one and repaint though.

I've got to ask, did you say you used to live in Cali but you reside in the midwest now? Reason I ask is your close connections with everyone. How do you have the time? Twin maybe? Lol....and is your group doing any open competitions this year?

He better hold on to that unlimited phone plan. I hope his feedbacks are helping you guys out too. I know a lot of us have been following his threads and he is a hardcore reviewer and backs up VP on the million questions that you guys get and he takes the time to answer them or defend your craftsmanship. Just saying maybe "payroll" I think he deserves it.

true that, ive noticed that he does do alot of that.

Midwest born and raised. Made friends with most of these people quite awhile before they were sponsoring me. Steve at VP will still claim he saved me from drowning in a pool with no water and then feeding me Denny's but I don't remember that so it can't be true....

And Brandon and I were friends before either or us had even one sponsor. Now he's designing all the stuff I want from Axial. Kind of cool how all that stuff works out. Now that I think about it, I think he still owes me a rock racer C10 tube chassis...

And now they know where all these awesome ideas come from!!

[Maddog Madigan]

Makes sense. Great job what you guys have done for us. Thumbs up!!

[Harley]

I just went and picked up the 3 speakers that I ordered. Two of them are promising, one is a 4" and the other is a 3". I think I want to go with the 4" still though. I forgot to get a picture, I'll throw one up tonight.

Here are the builds I was using as inspiration:

This will be the hood style I go for in the end.
ASHMAN's Jimmy's4x4 2011 Podium Promod Grand Cherokee Buggy - Pirate4x4.Com





This build was very complete and just a good look into the details of a chassis.

Red rock it/bent and twisted/jimmys chassis - Pirate4x4.Com





There are tons of other Jimmy's builds, but here is his specific vendor chassis thread. Some good pics

Thank you, that will keep me busy for awhile.
It's a replica of your custom chassis. The Mean Mini Jimmy chassis!
