A pretty nice jeep I must say. I would have liked it if I was a kid. As an adult fan of LEGO it would do nice as a shelf model. It's not a challenge to build it but it contains some nice pieces. Functionality is limited to individual suspension on the back wheels and steering (on the front ditto, of course).
I still have to build the second model in the instruction.
Year 1994, 184 pieces
Alternations
I had to make a replacement of a special part and also use some different colors on six other parts.
Original piece | Alternative piece |
| 2 gray 3894: Technic Brick 1 x 6 with Holes | 2 white 3894: Technic Brick 1 x 6 with Holes |
| 2 gray 3676: Slope Brick 45 2 x 2 Inverted Double Convex | 2 black 3676: Slope Brick 45 2 x 2 Inverted Double Convex |
| 2 yellow 2444: Plate 2 x 2 with Hole | 2 black 2444: Plate 2 x 2 with Hole |
| 1 black 2989 Bumper Holder 1 x 4 (I think this is the one) See it on Technica here. | 1 black 3701: Technic Brick 1 x 4 with Holes |
Great pieces
Shocks, not that I actually used them in anything I ever built on my own but they are cool :)
Wheels. The smallest balloon tire in the Technic line with yellow hubs, yummy!
Lot's of gray 1 x 6 beams. 10 pieces in that little jeep! I only had eight so they must be pretty rare.
