| | | | | | 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.

I might refit it with some slightly smaller and more logical tires though, similar to yours (instead of the monster truck tires that it's (...) (22 years ago, 9-Jan-03, to lugnet.build)
