So I just picked up this little treasure, got it from the neighbors garage sale 100% stock in great shape for $1.50.

My brother had a shop full of spare parts so I got to work. Sorry for the crummy pictures, camera was acting up

Here it is in its glorious unmolested form

Oops... maybe its a little TO tall

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b273/maxxpehling/jeep/IMG_1281.jpg

I had a hard time finding rimz/tires to fit those axles, so once again I had to go bigger, found a sweet deal on some k'nex axles with a sweet wheel/tire combo

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b273/maxxpehling/jeep/IMG_1282.jpg

Stretched it a few MM while I was at it

Testin out my new clearance

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b273/maxxpehling/jeep/IMG_1284.jpg

Nice departure angle

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b273/maxxpehling/jeep/IMG_1286.jpg

Still lousy flex

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b273/maxxpehling/jeep/IMG_1287.jpg

Tried to add some cage protection but couldn't find the right parts

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b273/maxxpehling/jeep/IMG_1289.jpg

Kinda copied Avanteone's idea and put a cooler on the back

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b273/maxxpehling/jeep/IMG_1290.jpg

Got some protection up front

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b273/maxxpehling/jeep/IMG_1291.jpg

I realized I needed some more power to turn these tires, so I threw a big block motor in with a blower and NOS

Lookin purty good

I have a legit chopped lego Jeep I made when I was a kid, it also has actual springs in the axles...so I can flex it. hahaha :)
