We recently added a few 3″ x 3/8″ wall Spider 9 housings to our Outlet store. These are perfect for serious rock crawlers and trail riders alike, just $499 per housing with free shipping. Housings are all brand new, just doing a little end of year house cleaning is all. As if that wasn’t sweet enough, any Outlet store item added to your order makes the ENTIRE order ship for free. So picking up this housing, and say everything else you need… free shipping on all. Just saying ;).

Offer good for both online orders and those orders placed on the phone +1 800 286 0898, only while supplies last of course. Happy building!

We are near the end of the 2015 Ultra4 racing season, and what better way to end it all then with a return to Reno’s Wild West Motorsports Park. The 4 Wheel Parts Nitto National Championship is the ultimate spectator & racer experience. With exception to those far east cost racers (*cough* Erik Miller) it’s logistically BY FAR the best venue of the year. Drama is already mounting, Erik Miller is returning to the scene, Shannon Campbell has himself a new Ultra4 racer (yes, it’s called The Dragon Slayer), and the series points is too close to call. The grand prize, National Champion, is a points combination of your top three regional races + KOH + this Nationals race, or so I believe. Loren Healy won all three western series races this year (another repeat for the king), but his KOH score was less than ideal. This means the National Champion is up for grabs, it’s going to be a close series finish! Read more…

And just like that, we now have an official date for the 2016 Nitto King of the Hammers. Marking its 10th year of racing at its finest, King of the Hammers is THE race that kicks off the season, it’s the largest off-road race in North America, it’s Christmas that comes in the beginning of the year… it’s a race that can’t be missed. Oh, for that date… got carried away there. Hammertown opens for drivers on Friday 1/29 with the 2016 Nitto King of The Hammers taking place on Friday, February 5th, 2016.

Mark those calendars, 134 days and counting.

Found a few spiders in the forests of Hot Springs, felt best to share those findings here.

What a great race! For those Ultra4 drivers that haven’t yet made the trip out to Hot Springs, Arkansas, add it to your bucket list. The course has everything an Ultra4 racer desires, and the weather this year was just perfect (that’s new, but we’ll take it).

Congrats to Clay & Lindsay Gilstrap for grabbing their first ever Ultra4 win. Followed right behind the Gilstraps was Levi Shirely and Derek West, which *cough cough* secures another podium sweep for Spider 9 axles. Sorry, couldn’t help myself. Read more…

If you want the best rocks outside King of the Hammers, you’ll have to make the trek to Vimioso, Portugal. Sadly, an Ultra4 scheduling conflict had me picking between my favorite children, and not seeing my east coast Ultra4 family all year I found myself in Hot Springs last weekend for the Ultra4s at Hot Springs race (which was amazing, that story coming later this week). Luckily, we’ve made some great friends over the years from across the pond, with Robb Pritchard and team putting together some amazing videos and photos throughout the KOP race. Read more…
