So...I love all things Jeep...and all things LEGO. What if I could have the best of both worlds? Well, with your up-vote, we can! Check out the LEGO Ideas site and show your support for the idea someone put together to make a JL Unlimited (with wench and removable doors to boot!). If they get enough votes (next milestone is 1,000!), LEGO will improve and mass produce it! (Personally, I want a red one!) :)

Doh! I should have looked at the posting more...the idea "expired" as it didn't get enough votes. Oh well...here's to the next LEGO + Jeep idea.

My wife gave me the yellow Lego Jeep last week. I already modded it by removing the rear bumpstops for more articulation. ;)

Honestly a little disappointed in the set, though it was relatively cheap for a Technic set. I like that the axles articulate but without the stickers you have to squint pretty hard to identify it as a Jeep.

I also have an old "Model Team" FJ-40 looking set (was the Custom Van), and the much larger Technic Off-Roader from a few years ago.

My office shelves are filled with Legos. Only had one client comment in a Zoom meeting. The Aston Martin DB5 007 model is one of the best yet. Doesn't quite get the curves right, but it does have a lot of the Q-Branch gadgets from Goldfinger (rotating license plates, ejector seat, hidden tracking map, headlight machine guns, bullet-proof shield, phone in door...).

That is by far the best one. You can get it here https://amzn.to/3aO1ZBY

@RubenZ is this you sneaking in a link that you get an Amazon commission on?

Do the stickers come pre-installed on the Lego Technic version? Looking to maybe paint the pieces before install...

All the kits I've built have separate stickers.

The grill pieces are pre-printed. All of the rest are stickers you apply yourself (I typically don't).
