Alright so: The element is created in vehicle_jeep_episodic in SpawnRadarPanel() which creates an entity that signals the client to create a VGUI element to soon be parented to the jeep. The attachment locations are setup here also. This isn't necessary, since you could do all this on the client instead. The VGUI element, CHudRadar, is created on the client.
In c_vehicle_jeep_episodic on the client, the element is updated.
