Any plans on chrome platting the chassis? Or just going with a wicked paint job?

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

Re: Harley's Wraith - Jimmy's 4x4 Ultra4
I decided I'll be going with a silver heavy duty wheel paint. It's got some light flake in it, looks good when using it on full size roll cages and bumpers so I'm sure it will still come through on this cage.

I was starting to work on the rear truss last night. Used the metal template I cut the other night to make a new one out of 16ga. Made the initial cuts with the bandsaw then went to trim out the remaining pieces. Then tragedy struck...

Motor is shot. Took out the brushes and cleaned it out but it's got nothing still. Time to upgrade.
What did the dremel do? I had a old one that a rubber coupling broke between the motor and the spindle. I fixed it with a female ax10 drive shaft.

Re: Harley's Wraith - Jimmy's 4x4 Ultra4
That's the top one I've found so far. I'm going to hit somewhere up tonight on the way home.

Well got an hour or so of work done on the truck tonight. I'm having clearance issues at the moment with the rear truss, panhard link and rear steer linkage. I am going to do some more brainstorming on it this week but in the end the centered rear axle may have to go in favor of the traditional offset pumpkin :evil:
As it sits.
Some comparison pics of the old stock chassis.
Rear truss in it's first mock up.

Saw this on facebook and wasn't sure if you had Jimmys race team on there.
Made me think of your build
That's a good shot, Derek did damn good. It was nice to see the new Nittos work so well for him.
Parts just arrived from RPP.
Can't wait to work out the light bar details.

Is that light bar 5" model? LMK if servo horns are a must. Any winch going on this sweet looking rig?
Yup, 5"! Can't wait to fire it up.
The splines on the servo horns look great, nice and deep. However the length is shorter than I thought they would. I'll mock them up and check to be sure they are long enough.

Is that lightbar going under the cage or above it? I'm ready to see how it's going to get mounted then steal your idea! It's looking great!

In front and slightly higher then the roof line. It will have a tube surround and mount off of it.
Similar to this.
