Yep, that hood looks like it was hand-formed in Bondo in high school shop class after too many bong hits...

(and the grille is just as bad, I mean "angry eyes" are one thing, but those bowed-out vertical slats!)

All that effort to make a metal body and they still can't get the rear doors right.

I second this, that jeep is definitely ABS, if says plastic / ABS more than once on the Ali advert. The frame, skid, etc is metal.

That's less than 4 pounds. Somehow I don't trust that number or it's made from really thin metal.

I agree that it's ridiculously light - and I am guessing thin metal. Look at the photos taken from the underside. It looks as though it were made of ductwork, all rivits and solders.

At least it's not cast aluminum or zinc.

Would the thin metal not make for realistic denting?
