Dry and 60. Lucky. I can't wait for that weather. We've got 10 inches of snow coming tomorrow. Lol. Anxious to find out what tires work out better. Have fun this weekend. Soon I'll be back out trailing.

Rebuilt the axles today, added beef tubes front and rear, replaced the stock lockers with hot racing one piece front and rear. Swapped to the blue lockouts and c-hubs. Also changed to vanquish knuckles, Modded my panhard and reworked my steering links.

Still gotta work on the paint a little. Fix a few imperfections. Reprogram the mmp and it'll be ready for lrc this weekend

any vids with the pro4 installed ?

Time to rebuild my favorite rig from the past. I love the look of my bronco but I think the plastic cage will help it crawl better. The old heavy Chevy was a beast and this will be even better. Best part is all I have to do is build a wraith chassis and paint a body and few small things. The drivetrain will unbolt from the bronco and drop right into the wraith.

Wraith chassis with dc blazer body.

Front axles-Beeftubes, overdrive hd gears ,locked up spools, axial universals, vp c-hubs, vp knuckles, strc 4 link mount, strc shock/lower link mounts, strc bearing cap, vp diff covers, vp steering links.

Rear axles-Beeftubes, underdrive hd gears, locked up spools, strc lockouts, strc 4 link mount, strc shock/lower link mounts, strc bearing cap, vp diff covers
Built trans-hot racing metal gears

Vp Kmc 795s with .600 hubs

Custom cut Proline tsl xls with ci dueces wild foams

Mmp

Castle bec

Hitec 7950

Pro4 ??

vp titanium links

Custom wraith/summit Mips

Interior with recaro Sears

Gmade piggyback shocks. 93mm/103mm

Dinky s-type link

Duuuuuude front and rear link risers

Scale accessories

Still needs

Wraith chassis

Dc blazer body(found one and its on the way but still looking for the cowl induction one )

Dinky drop box

The donor rig

I was just going through your build and thought to myself "this thing needs a set of the TSL XL's, had to wait to post until I got to the last page and low and behold, you are going that route. Looking forward to seeing the new work.

King James · 10-30-2014, 07:46 PM

Yes sir got a set cut and ready for it.

King James · 10-31-2014, 03:37 PM

Body came in today. Still looking for another with the cowl induction hood. Unsure of paint. What do y'all think. Something like on my last one with rust color inside or final color on the inside. What color should I paint it.

WesTX · 10-31-2014, 04:17 PM

I vote for a custom freqeskinz with a petina'd look maybe with some simple graphics added into the look.

Wes

King James · 10-31-2014, 04:24 PM

Never thought of that. That would be badass.

King James · 11-06-2014, 09:24 PM

Well no luck with finding a body with cowl induction, but I ended up with 3 of the blazer body's. Ones a blemish which is perfect for me to cut up and reinforce the hood area so I can be a functional hood. Looking forward to getting the other bodies in and ordering a chassis and getting started on the rebuilding

JDIRCC · 11-08-2014, 10:02 AM

Im ready to see this rebuild. i was curious if your going to run the shorter length links up front as you did before. or are you just staying with the length the come from vp? And your shock set up? were the two different sizes when ypu first did the heavy chevy? were they on a droop kit or just factory mounted. Im in the middle of redoing my wraith and am pulled in so many directions about how i want it setup. But after seeing this one i think it has me sold on the way lower cog stance yours had. I was already sold on the chevy body though lol. but mine is gonna have to fit to a dmg stiffy kit so i got some body work to be trying lol.
