Default Grand Cherokee Body???

I wheel a Grand Cherokee (WJ) in realy life and I would LOVE to find a body for a tlt crawler I am going to build. Does anyone have one or know of one that would work? My cralwer will have 12.5" of wheel base if that helps to get an idea of the size.


My real Jeep:





Thanks for any help.

New bright still makes it, but the WB is more like 10". Check out wally world, toys r us, and other toy places for that body. They might have some bigger ones, but plan on spending 100 bucks for the big ones.

I've looked and looked (but for a ZJ, not WJ), can't find one anywhere. I even thought of using a Suburban body and making decals for it, but just not the same. I went with Rubi, at least it's a Jeep. Nice to see someone else from MC over here playing with the "toys".

I sent you a PM...

I think I will just go with the Rubi body too... Unless I have seen a WK RC online so I may settle for that. It would make my crawler unique at least.

I did find a ZJ model on ebay with a plastic body but the whole Jeep was only 12" long and thats about what my rigs wheel base would be... so it would look awkward and not to scale at all.
