New Guy - Jeep XJ Crawler - VIDEO ADDED
 

Hey,

New guy here. I'm building a scale crawler using a plastic Jeep Cherokee body. I have the body and interior retro fitted. The next step is some body work and paint. The body even came with working lights which be after paint. I cut the coild and had to extend the wheel base about 1/4" to make it look scale.

Dude that is so sick i love cherokees that is the phat body i have ever seen on a nylint where did u get that i would love a jeep body like that write back



Later jeep for ever

yea where did u get it nothin would be better than a rc to match my rig

I got it from Ebay a few years ago for my son. He was into dinosaurs and we rented a Land of the Lost series (90's version) and they had a commercial for the toys. Of course they weren't in stores, so I found them on Ebay. He has since grown out of that stuff so he let me have it.

I've got a 98 XJ that I'm about to build up so yeah, it's cool to have an RC to match. I say check Ebay, but also antique stores, flea markets and tag sales.

Here's a link to some pics of it in stock form:

I'm going to have to start searching high and low to find one of those bodies.
