Harley's Axial Wraith Build - Jimmy's 4x4 Ultra 4 KOH Style

Go to the first post of any thread you start and go to advanced edit. Change the name there. As a mod I can change any thread name though :lol:
Which team? I follow the Ultra4 stuff quite a bit, although the Jimmy's rigs are probably hardest to know them all due to the number of "cookies" out there.
Re: Harley's Wraith - Jimmy's 4x4 Ultra4
WOW!! boxing that shock tower turned out great! same for the panhard
I hear yea on the pain and the time getting that fabed up. I tryed this with my truggy build....Lets just say i gave up after the 3rd try but after seeing yours, makes me want to give it another try though:mrgreen:
Very nice work, I think it's worth the time spent8)

Thanks man, the second tower was cake compared to the first. It also came out WAY better. I may cut the first off and redo it but I'm not set on that.
The rear towers are still up in the air, I am going to do some searching on pirate on lunch.
Re: Harley's Wraith - Jimmy's 4x4 Ultra4
Derek West - But Loren Healy, Cottin Rodd, Nick Nelson and Derek are the only one with Jimmys4x4 Racing team. So far the team as a whole has qualified pretty good this year.
Re: Harley's Wraith - Jimmy's 4x4 Ultra4
Very cool, I've paid a lot of attention to Derek ever since his stock mod days. I work with and am good friends with the Rubberbelly Racing guys who used to compete against him in W.E.ROCK/RRock mostly. Hope Derek does well tomorrow, the rebuild of the car looked really nice.

That came out NICE !!! Harley..."thumbsup""thumbsup"

So the things I have left to do on the chassis are:
After that, full drivetrain rebuild. My transmission is trashed. Wasted the top shaft bearings and caused some pretty major case damage in the process.
Team Fast Eddy sent me a few full bearing kits though when he was sending parts for another project recently. Thanks again Eddy.
The thrashed guts of this beast. Soon to be blinged out in MORE VP goodies. Oh....and that other stuff I hinted to awhile ago. Soon.
- Rear shock towers, probably boxing in.
- Sway bar mounts, need to get sway bars first.
- Light bar mounts, bumper and windshield areas.
- Rear panhard bar, this is a maybe.

Could that new VP Bling be an aluminum trans case? :ror:

That looks sick.
I wish I had the time and money to do all this work. Lol

Wow, that's an idea! This rig is really turning out sweet!
Thanks guys, it went pretty well last night. I was up way too late though and now I'm dragging ass at work!

Sounds like redbull time. Hang in there. Waiting on what you have next for us. And the something secret that vp is working on, is it a motor/tranny chassis mount plate? And transmission cover? I'm still trying to figure it out. 
Here is where the thought initially came from. This is the Bent and Twisted Fab Jimmy's rig that runs the Ultra4 series.
All desert cars (including every car running KOH) must run this series of lights. The EXO recently incorporated that as well and I liked the style they used a lot.
Here it is after I drilled out the holes. I'll put light buckets in there soon to test fit.
I only got it half welded last night. I'll finish it up in the next couple days.
