Thanks man,, Im thinking about repainting it, going with an old school military theme..

I ussually go to a buddies house, he has a couple acres with a couple piles of dirt, that we keep "saying" we are going to build a course on, we have access to a skidloader, bull dozer what ever its called.

The other day I went over to Belle Creek, I live northeast near 104th & Chambers area, so it was close.

Id love to meet up with others if anyone lives north of downtown

As of today 10-30-12

Well I wanted a spare tire carrier, and after reading up on here, getting some ideas, heres what I came up with:




Now I just need to find a stock wraith wheel and tire lol

Now that Ive found "Sand Creek" area, thaqt place is soo cool, Ill be spending LOTS of time there

[4x4Ric]

Ive extended the steering wheel, after reading up on here, found what I thought was an easy way, I think its decent for a first timer lol

Nice, I like the driver.

I've got a 4runner too ('12 TE). I think it would be cool to mod a Wraith to be more like my 1:1 and my 1:1 closer to a wraith . I don't think there are any fifth gen 4runner bodies out yet though.

very cool. I dont think Ive seen 5th gen bodies either, I wouldnt mind finding a 4th gen 4runner body for the wraith lol.
Have you ever been to the Sand Creek area ? love that place.

Well I just got my baby back, I dropped it off at The Crawl Space, to get a new motor (35t) re-geared and a new ESC, I dropped it off yesterday morning, and picked it up today, talk about FAST lol, I also bought the tub, to put everything up front, they put everything in there, did it fast, set everything, again, I cant give them enough
Sure I could have saved a buck or two buying online, but from the time I got the wraith, Ive talked to them on the phone, asking questions, getting thoughts and suggestions, hell one time they spent 45 minutes with me on the phone when I was brand new, they knew I wasnt going to buy anything that time, but took all the time to help me
We need more businesses that know, what customer service really is.....

Thanks again, Crawl Space, you guys rock.

I'm in Denver too! Nice rig man! Crawl Space rocks, aaaaand I need to get there now cause I just fried my servo in the wraith. Like to trail in the mountains.

Heres a couple quick pix of the shocks:



I just finished remolding my rear tub I picked up at The Crawl Space.
It was not a "perfect" fit as Ive upgraded the shocks (GMade 103 piggybacks) so I had to take a heat gun to it, IMHO it turned out ok, lol
The rear tub:


Now for some scale accessories for the bed

Well I finally got a little time to crawl my baby, ran over to Sand Creek, and Ive to say, I think it does, crawl better, the brakes actually work (Thanks Crawl Space)
on to a couple pix:

[4x4Ric]

well after adding the tire carrier, I wanted to give her a new paint job

[4x4Ric]

well Ive always wanted the BGR front stinger bumper, and found out that The Crawl Space carries them, so I ran over therre tonight, this way Im supporting a local business and buying a BGR bumper, awesome.
Stock:

New BGR:


If this thing holds up half, as good as it looks in person, Ill have this for a VERY long time.
Now to save for either the BGR cage or a winch lol

Nice! How did you do your flat black paint job? On the outside of the body or inside and wet sand?

[scalecrawlin]

And what kind of flat black paint did you use?
