Dash and windshield bars in. Gonna add the roof spreaders and fuel filler bracket to rear. Is there anything I'm missing to add to the cage before paint.

For sure gonna help out the scale looks. I'm going for as real as possible. Hell I spent $60 on new rod ends for the scale links that I'm fixing to machine. But you got to pay to play with the big dogs.

And just got to love the Crawler InNovations electronics tray. The original and still the best. Got to love the fxr's small footprint as well. Sure is gonna be a lot cleaner under here now, and I can run my big battery.

Well I have 2 Wraith's and a spare chassis that I use for all my panel work and cage work. Made it a little easier for me. I've had this one cut for about 6 months but just decided that a rebuild was in order for this one so I went to work. Just want to show that creativity can go a long way without diving off into a complete chassis. Which I'm also fixing to do. Oh well.

Had to do a little scaling before bed. Know what I mean. Team 3six gauge panels. So slick.

Havn't even got my Wraith yet and I can't wait to cut it up and tube it. Thanks for the inspiration, great build!

Thanks Shelby, and that reminds me that I forgot to order the front housing. Doh!!! Was either that or beef tubes, and they just don't weigh anything. Wanted to get all the added weight back out of my wheels and aluminum housings are the trick. The rc4wd really are the best deal. The rear housing is basically free since it saves you on buying lockouts and aluminum bearing caps. Was gonna buy vanquish for the front but think I'll stick with another rc4wd housing so I can keep my other axles complete.
It's fixing to look like Christmas up in here once everything is here.

Clay looking good! Say I really like what your doing with this and the Team3Six control panel that your using. Was wondering if you could post a pic of the LEDs lit up? And how are they controlled, through esc? Or constant power?

Haven't got the interior installed back in truck yet. Probably be another week or two before its all together. I plan on running them off their own power supply that will be manually switched, if I can find a hiding place for the battery.

It really is a good deal, and one I couldn't pass up since I run 4WS. I needed two pairs of Al C hubs, and the front axles come with them, so that really made them a killer deal for my application.

Can't wait till the next G6 and to let our Wraiths battle it out!

X2, can't beat the deal. Great quality too, just put of these on my KOH rig. Now just need to order two more sets for the other rigs.

This is good to hear. I was originally gonna order the VP front housing since I already have all the VP upgrades and had heard that the pan hard mount wouldn't fit the rc4wd housing. But then i remembered I'm a machinist and that wouldn't be a problem. haha
Wish i had thought of that in the original order, now i have another order placed through RPP and of course its like going to Wal-Mart, go in after one thing, come out with a cart full. Oh well, its just money. Like my dad always says, got to spend it or burn it to keep warm.

I like that interior. It's looking awesome.
What kind of battery are you going to be using to light them up?

By the way did you cut those lights in the rear?
I so need that for mine. Lol

Can't wait. There are going to be so many focal points, I won't know where to start. Hurry up and get that vendor star. I have a product for you to make that will sale as good as the hoods.
Parts should be arriving everyday for the next week or so. Gonna get the panel orders all finished up and a customers build, then it's on.
