Solid solid solid solid is all I got to say no need for any fancy fab work and its hell for stout unless u run into a tree at Mach 5

Mine were a hand shaped version but the final pieces were finished yesterday. Watch Eddie's site for them.

Thanks again Harley

The "Comp Cut" option has been added to web site as an option for the 5.25", 5.5", & 6.0" foam pairs with outers. I have also updated the Foam Parts section as well where they can be purchased alone.

Chances are, if you are reading this, you're addicted to crawling like the rest of us here. So with that said, I'm not making a big announcement about this new "comp cut" option. Those that want it, will find it. I'm working to stream line the foam designs to a one size fits all wheel widths and it takes time to figure out each size because each closed cell inner is a different size.

Best part about your threads Josh...you get everyone chiming in. From parts to suggestions...it's a one stop shop for info and conversation. Always entertaining for sure.

New programming I'm running on the 4PK. If I go to 4WS I'll have to swap it out but I'm not sure I'll be switching anymore. I was able to self right the rig as is.

Something new coming from SuperShafty

We have a G6 rolling through MO in July and I am told there will be a night stage.

I've been running Vanquish lights on my builds lately but a new vendor has popped up recently who is making new drop light boards for the Vanquish Products housings.

These are not a typical typical LED light bar. These are CREE units placed on a custom made board. After that they are conformal coated to make them waterproof.

The light output between these and a normal LED board are not even comparable.

And then... I had to him work me up a special board for the front of the rig. You'll know which rig is coming!

The tires are only about 1/4" taller than the stock tires on the PSC Wraith, the angle is deceiving.

The wheels use the SLW hubs which allows for width adjustments to suit your truck. I am running the 475 hubs all the way around.

I posted this in the Poison Spyder Wraith thread but it applies here as well.

The Hit & Run is the second one to go, just a fun shot.

Awesome rig and awesome event! The curries look amazing (I wouldnt have the balls to run them), this thread gives me a ton of ideas - too bad we dont have anything like goat hill out where I reside.

Not sure what you mean, my pinion angles are well within normal ranges. This picture shows full droop, worst case scenario. Also, the Currie Axles don't have flipable lower link mounts. Maybe you are mistaking the 60º rotated pumpkin for bad pinion angle.
