I am thinking about going with 4WS on this rig, but I am not 100% sold on it yet. I think next up is also those VP brake discs and calipers. I also have a wraith kit I am going to start on soon as well.

Can you show how you mounted the spare tire up there? I have a new set of wheels and want to put a spare in to make it more scale. Thanks!

Sure, I can get some pics tonight. Basically I took the spare tire carrier from a dingo body I had laying around. Axial Roll Cage (part 2) Spare tire carrier It's the piece on the far right. I took that off the dingo I had, cut it where it bends near each end, then drilled it out. I then drilled out the frame on the wraith, and used some 3mm flat head screws to attach the thing. I drilled it low to keep the tire from being to high over the roofline. I will take the tire off and get a pic tonight, but that basically how i did it. 15 minutes of work, and it was done, and it looks pretty bad @ss if I do say so myself. |

Ok here are pics of what I am talking about. You can see where I cut the bracket, I ended up cutting it a little short, but with a spacer or two, it fits perfect. The screw doesn't come with the bracket piece. It's listed in the dingo kit manual. It's a pretty long screw though. |

| Re: Ldogg's Wraith's
got a couple outdoor pics. I plan on getting som additional ones this week out on the trail. I also created a insert on top of the receiver box thats velcro'ed to the box, and the hood. then I drilled out the hood screw holes, and screwed the screws in, and then put the hood on the rig. this basically lets me pull the hood off when i want, and the screws make sure it doesn't wiggle at all. |

Totally dig this Wraith. How's the droop with the shorter Proline shocks? I'm thinking of running the same shocks to lower my Wraith. Chris |

BAD A**!! How did you paint the body? inside or outside? What types of paints did you use? If you painted the outside how is it holding up?
