Now that the cats out of the bag with the Axial Wraith reveal, I can finish posting. I have had to keep this build under wraps for the past 2 months so that it could debut with the new Wraith unveiling. We chose Jeep Beach in Daytona Beach, as its the largest east coast Jeep event in the United States to help get people excited about the axial rigs.
Presented to the guys from Rigid Lighting, Poison Spyder, Magnaflow, Method Racing Wheels, and Active Graphix

The original Spyder JK and the newest, Ghost Spyder

Thats one Sick carrier bag too!

Made a functional fuel cell this afternoon. Functional in the sense that it holds the battery, aka fuel. Was able to utilize the rear shock mount bolts to also lock this in place, keeping everything hidden. Also hid the hinge under the fuel cell lid. I left the back wall short at the bottom to allow the wiring a place to go and also act as a vent for airflow.

Little sanding and some paint and it will be done.

Did you drill and tap the scale bolts on the TSS Robby Gordon wheels? If I'm not mistaken, they don't come that way? They look good....the entire rig looks sweet!

No. They are already setup for 2mm hardware on the rings and also already SLW compatible. Only thing I did different was powdercoat instead of anodize. I like the finish better. That said, these are being swapped out for a more accurate tire/wheel combo. Pics next week.

Love the multipurpose fuel cell. Looks great!

 

[CarterFab]

Fuel cell installed with a spare.

Made the dash this afternoon. Gonna have to tell Larry thanks for making it a simple flat dash, haha, NOT!!

Also took a piece of chromoly tube and machined it to fit an Axial steering wheel for a steering column

Console tomorrow......yeah!!

 

[blakeski]

[CarterFab]

Axial JK spare parts tree I believe.

 

[dubAron]

Fuel cell and Dash look amazing as always great work.

New shoes are finally getting mounted up. Black anodized Trail SLW 2.2 wheels from locked Up RC. These are shown with their optional scale hardware, scale acorn lug nuts, and scale rear hubs. Also with custom powder coated agile bead lock rings.

 

[Bulldog]

The wheels look saucy! About as scale as you can get.8)

 

[Desert Rc]

Damn nice work brotha! Across the board...nice...very nice.

 

[CarterFab]

Got the console and dash finished and painted.

Also got the front tire/wheels mounted up today and machined the Locked Up RC hubs to closer imitate the drive flanges on the 1:1

 

[Desert Rc]

My goodness that panel is clean and the wheels are flawless.

 

[Bulldog]

X2. Super clean work there Clay.8)

 

[CarterFab]

Thanks guys. No solid rod or body filler was harmed during the making of this rig. Quite proud of that.

 

[Hacksaw707]

This is heading home on the 15th.
Got the floor pan mount, dash mount and steering column installed and started working on the CMS and pan hard setup.

Have to get that finished tomorrow, make new side panels, fit everything one more time, strip back down, clear coat the chassis and reassemble one last time. Then they get to have fun wiring it up. Made sure all the wiring will be hidden though and took it all into consideration so they shouldn't have any problems.

 

[Bulldog]

CMS and Panhard...that's the easy part!:lmao:
