The only ones I've ever seen were 1badjeepbruiser's. If I was you I would contact him. He seems to have cornered the market on them, and may be able to help you get one.

Paid 200$ for the NIB unpainted one



Here is my runner

Wasnt always a crawler, was actually a really nice example of a stock one



Here is another new built one I have, body is PRISTINE



and I have another body too painted in the stock form in very good shape.

Before anyone asks...NO they are not for sale, not for any dollar value

as far as finding them...they are RARE, I search ebay EVERYDAY and no I am not kidding...everyday I look. There was one this past week, new built with an unpainted body, was watching it, then it was relisted with a buy it now for 685$ and it sold

Just as rare as these is the Nissan pathfinder body, I have my silver one which was bought new for almost 100$ and I have a used good condition one that I paid 60 for.

Man I had no idea they would be that expensive. I knew they were discontinued and hard to find but over $680, man that is wild. Sombody just needs to start to just make the body for one.

I would like one for a scale project though. Those look AWSOME!!!

I still have my old Big Bear, tires are rotted away though.

Good luck on the search TJ, just keep cruising Ebay. Look under generic terms too like "lexan body" or something like that. Sometimes people have no idea what they are selling.

Yep, generic descriptions by people who have no idea what they have = deals!

"Toy truck" and "truck" while browsing the "Toys and Hobbies" section will often lead to great stuff......................but be prepared to search through thousands of auctions. It really can be a needle in a hay stack.

I almost got lucky on Ebay a couple years back for a nib 1/9th scale Kyosho LandCruiser(SUV style)body.I think it sold for over a $100.00 or more.
