jeep cj-5

i got this limited edition jeep cj-5 from hot wheels. it's 1/18 but loooks smaller when i got it but i guess that's just because the jeep is a small vehicle. there's a few things i like and a few i don't: i like the spare tire, the engine detail, roll cage, simple diamond plate dash. i don't like: the suspension doesn't work, the whinch doesn't work, and the exhaust looks stupid coming off the side.
so of course i have mods planned for it, i plan to:
take out passenger bucket seat
^^replace with nos bottle
make the exhaust stacked coming up the side(no need to snorkel it, the intake is already up high enough
i want to make the winch not electric but with actual string
hopefully a new paint job cause there is way too much black on this truck!!

comments!!!
anything else you guys think i should do with it??

Wow, the exhaust really does look stupid. Btw, why is your Subaru so low to the ground?
