Wicked job on that ZJ. I dig the custom front bumper and the lift on that beast! My only thought is that the winch hook and center roof lights look a bit out of scale. I've never seen lights that big in real life.... although they would definitely light up the trail! Good job!

Re: Jeep Grand Cherokee

I like the winch, front bumper and the high lift. Slick to make the exhaust tip attach directly to the muffler just like a real hardcore rig. Good work! Another awsome 4x4 project on AF

Re: Jeep Grand Cherokee

that looks awesome! i agree with alakai though the front winch and middle 2 lights on the rack look a bit too big. really aweomse though. just a suggestiong but put the tires on a drill and spin them on some sand paper to scuff up the tread a bit.

can't wait to see more

Re: Jeep Grand Cherokee

Hey,

WOW!!! All that scratchbuilt stuff looks great on there! But the 2 middle lights on teh top do look a little big. Other then that, I hope it turns out great. Keep up the awsome work.

Thanks for all the positive feedback, I plan on changing the lights and winch hook tonight. I totally forgot about sanding the tires down to make them look worn down.

Re: Jeep Grand Cherokee

Nice Jeep. The coils springs look a little out of scale though. Also the tires are dirctional, so some of them are bakcwards.


Heres my Jeep, how did you make the winch and front tubular front?

Re: Jeep Grand Cherokee

That would be sweet in 1/1. it would probably tip over, but sweet none the less.

to camarossboy i made the winch out of some styrene with tamiya putty and some fishing line for the cable. The tubular front bumper was made out of styrene tube that was heated up and bent.

I do realize that the wheels are directional but i couldnt get them to fit on the wheel any whay else.
