do you get it? I got a YJ myself and have been rather enamored with it, as such I bring you: (URL) a Jeep LJ (Lego Jeep), a brickier version of a TJ. Opening doors, hood and tailgate. Engine detail, onboard air, suspention lift, so on so forth. (...) (22 years ago, 27-Nov-02, to lugnet.build) !

(...) Looks great! I love all the detail you've put into the body, the engine, the various accessories, the working suspension and fake drivetrain. It looks ready to tackle just about anything. I wonder how close it is in scale to the Cherokee (...) (22 years ago, 28-Nov-02, to lugnet.build)

Thanks Bram! You know, I didn't set out to make it the same scale as your XJ but now that I check it out the tub on the LJ is 14 studs. (as long as you don't count the fender flares, then it's 18 studs. And the fender flares are only there to (...) (22 years ago, 28-Nov-02, to lugnet.build)

(...) You know I may when the next ISCC comes around. (if I'm eligible that is, isn't there a tire restriction? Can't be built before such a date sort of thing?) Really though, I just do this because I'm a complete loon and it makes me smile. Later (...) (22 years ago, 2-Dec-02, to lugnet.build)
