58141

[7point2]

For me this may be the most versatile of the tamiya kits, #58141 the jeep wrangler. I love this kit, i think to the point of obsession. The individual personality that can be given to these is very unique, i think because the real world also offers so many variations for the jeep. They not only promise the freedom to go anywhere, the freedom to feel like you are one with the elements but also the freedom to make it your own. I see countless modified jeeps everyday and to me they are all beautiful, yet totally different. Arguably,The jeep may have been the inspiration for off roading and crawling as we know it today.

These are two of my jeeps in the latter stages of personalization and modification.

[Moondoggie]

I would have to agree with that!

Great selection of pictures! :D

[SMOKE-DOG]

Nice. That yellow one always does it for me.

[Wyoming]

mmm so nice, with all the Tamiya kits that have come and gone this one will be my favorite by a wide margin...until they do another Jeep anyway:D

[7point2]

here is one of my other favorites.

[7point2]

Nice pics again C. I really need to make a Jeep, they are one of the most scale bodies.

[7point2]

nothing beats an abs body. tamiya really needs to make more, after all they are a platic model company. i cant see them making their scale static kits from lexan anytime soon, so why not more abs rc bodies????

[SMOKE-DOG]

Nice pics C. Some of those look 1:1.

[Wyoming]

Great shots C, love the plates and would agree with B that many shots look real :D

[PsycoJuana]

So this is the new kits coming out? Man i dont know how i missed this thred!
The Jeep?
How ya get it so early ??

[towerdog]

I was just thinking about what kit i was gonna get next. I think my mind has just been made. :)

[Arcocustom]

Those are the discontinued Jeep Wrangler kits. I see a couple on e-bay for around $280.00. Tamiya is re-releasing this kit any day now and I beleive it is exactly the same as the original. The price is going to be cheaper than the originals on e-bay.

[7point2]

ding ding ding, you are correct arcocustom, these are all original release wranglers, and 280 dollars would have been a steal 8 months ago.

[Arcocustom]

Yes, those kits were highly sought after and NIB kits were worth a pretty penny. News of the re-release has brought prices back to earth. Now's a good time for fans of the Wrangler, but not for the collector.

[PsycoJuana]

Yeah i plan on buying one or two of those new Jeeps Hoping to see some pics of how to lift them a bit :)

[Arcocustom]

Due to the the fact that these trucks have IFS, there is a limit to how high they can be lifted. I have seen some trucks with a modest amount of lift running talleer 1.9's, even TLT wheels, but not 2.2's, because of the inner fender wells and clearance issues.

[7point2]

yep, you are right again, 2.2's are just about out of the question.

here is a shot of a pretty stock chassis and queso with significant body and chassis lifts, you can clearly see the difference. i have also manged to tweak a little more out of it since this pic was taken. i can actually fit two tires under the front wheel now.

http://i538.photobucket.com/albums/ff347/chickenlilly/DSC08457.jpg

[7point2]

here is another shot of it next to a slightly modified xc, it towers over it.

http://i538.photobucket.com/albums/ff347/chickenlilly/DSC06745.jpg

[Arcocustom]

Those are very nice. If you really want a Wrangler with 2.2's then kit #58429 is the way to go. Here are some pictures of my recently completed Jeep to compare the two kits.
