I've been waiting for these jackstands a long time.
So much in fact I have another pair coming tomorrow lol

[Sh0rtBus]

Nice! I need a set of those myself.

Love the hood wording, too!

[bagged86]

Got this stuff in but didn't put the D'Lux brass bushings on because I didn't have a file on hand that'll be another day maybe when I'm not so scared to dunk my Pro4 motor in CorrosionX lol

[bagged86]

OMG I got it back together for the time being lol still got some other ideas to do to it.


Lookin what was in the mail box today

[bagged86]

Finally got the axles modified to put the Rogue Element axle hub nuts on


Next is some paint on detail stuff

[bagged86]

Got the steady hand tonight for the paint brush

Painted the battery cables

Power inverter, steering wheel, and the shifter knobs

The Griffin logo and name (pain in the ass should of just sanded it to turn it black again

Debating painting the VP logo on the calipers or not
BTW Pro4 engaged and awesome from what I can tell in the loving room
an all metal rig hurts toes lol

[bagged86]

When detailing the small stuff like the lettering. Sharpies are your friend.

Yeah I did that with the radiator cap and it made it like a faded black. I do love sharpies though they really make a job easier. Get that rig of yours on all fours already lol. Love the beadlock rings you got going on there btw

[CarterFab]

I only use them on the really small stuff like lettering. You can also use paint and tooth picks for really small stuff.
My chassis should be done this month.

Thanks man it's a long build don't think I'll ever be done with it.
Rogue Element Components is not making them at this point in time but he said eventually he will make another run of them.

Got alittle surprise after doing a shakedown on the new setup. Seems that RC Screws bearings don't like high speed setups or the locker bonded the axle up by the two set screws. Fast Eddy bearing will be replacing these thank god I bought them two weeks ago.

Ouch!! BTW I like your rig.

I just cut the axle ends shorter and then shaved the VP wheel hubs down to
fit the Rogue Element Components hub nuts. The reason being is the hub nut runs out before tightening the wheel. Then after that you can't tighten it down all the way because the tool doesn't allow to go past the VP hub adapters. You can shave down the tool instead but I shave my VP hubs instead.

Myhubs didn't fit so I was thinking about cutting it down, Thanks and nice build you got.
