Default My Dilemma

I got a Poison Spyder Wraith in last week. Being a Jeep guy, I just love the way this thing looks. I also really like some of the rigs that I have seen on there that have DMG or BGR kits.

I picked up Wraith Cage yesterday on E-Bay, so I'm trying to decide if I want to keep the PS rig as is, and build exactly what I want from scratch, or do I want to just start hacking up my new PS Wraith.

I wish I could say that I have an unlimited budget, but I'm going to say that I have around $100 a month that I can budget for this...

Ideas....suggestions?

Cut the back cage off( the top half) cut the roof in half, spare tire in the back, this changes the look alot better for a jeep look my opinion

If you bought a replacement cage, there would be no harm in hacking it up. I did the fastback mod like above and ran it like that for a while and then just cut the top of mine right off and stuck a body on it.

The cage is exactly the same between the normal wraith and the PS. So hack away, you have a spare now!

follow Harleys $50 poison spider wraith build. You could do two steps at a time. If you are on a limited budget than that's the best idea. To me that seems like the best resource on here.

I am really liking the look of this wraith. I assume that red up front is part of the frame/shock towers. Anyone have any idea what company makes it?

Cut it up. Looks better in my opinion. Here's mine.
