Really enjoyed yesterday too. I would love to do it again :). Thank you so much for the advise you have posted on your 2cv. Coupled with this I now think I could build my landy. I would like to build with 80s Lego only, just like this. I suppose the only way is by using live axles. I love how you have captured the characteristics of this jeep, and as ever you have squeezed lots of functions in too.. |

Authentic old-school Technic! The 2WD/4WD selector is a top idea! I like detailled creation that use these wheels, as it can be difficult to get the vehicle's proportions right to make them look right in place. This is just the right size and it all comes together very nicely! |

Shop around Fire brigade leftovers, and you'll find many of these, both CJ3 and CJ5, in Very Red colour. To be picky, with apologies because your work is astonishing: the rear wheel should be on the right side of the tailgate - to leave room for spare fuel jerrycan on the left on later CJ5 incarnations, or plainly on the far back of the right side of the car, as was in 1945... I'm afraid the hinges on the windshield are of CJ5 style too; the 40's ones where fitted much lower, and forward, on extended 'arms'. www.wired.com/autopia just did a feature on them: enjoy: http://www.wired.com/autopia/2011/01/celebrating-70-years-of-jeep/?pid=509&pageid=31403&viewall=true
Thanks Lola. Very interesting article. I'd never heard of the Jeepster - there was a car 60 years ahead of it's time! And you're quite right about some of the details on my model; in my defence this was a quick build shortly after my Dark Ages. |

Excellent, captures the looks and feel of the original, with some great working features. Also has a great 80s Technic feel to it. Very nice. |

What do you use for a crankshaft in this style of engine? |

The 24 tooth gears have 2 offset axle holes, you can construct a crankshaft using these and size 4 axles. |

This is masterful. The switch between rear and 4x drive is a great idea, along with all the usual suspects. For somewhat self serving reasons, I commend you on considering the travel of your suspension, rather than just including a token placeholder. And finally, I think I saw a vintage jeep painted red driving by just the other day. ;^}

I like the look of this model very much. It reminds me of my first Technic sets back in the 80s. Studs all over :-) |

Love the oldschool! I played with LEGO in the 80's and early 90's! This is very familiar stuff! |

Top job. Nice functions (I have those old pistons too but I've never used them) and very 'Lego-y' - MOCpages needs more creations using blocky bricks like this! 5 stars, but maybe there could be a bit more detail (number-plates and suchlike) |
