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 accomidate the oversized tires)  And unless my counting is off, your
Cherokee is also 14 studs wide.  I'd say that'd make them a pair.  Mine may
sit a little higher, but then again the LJ is supposed to be a trail rig.
We'll have to get the two together some time and compare.  (Now we just need
some one to do a Liberty)


Well, with the current set of 8466 tires on the Cherokee, I'd have to argue
that it sits taller than your model :)

Great job anyway.  I would love to see these two sitting next to each other.

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 Adrian and I built.  Looks like yours might be a tad
bigger.
