Rob Hall Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I'll need to buy two, so I can make a 4 door Rubicon! This kit is of the generation before the 4dr model came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heepey Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 American Expedition Vehicles I believe had a 4 door kit for the TJ a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drake69 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 American Expedition Vehicles I believe had a 4 door kit for the TJ a few years ago. AEV also had a 2-door Scrambler conversion kit called the "Brute". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lownslow Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 the wheels ruined the kit first thing i did was throw out the crappy beadlocks i swapped them for some ANMT Nascar COT wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Handley Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Since R2 is bringing the AMT Pacer back out, it should be possible to convert the 258 I-6 in that into a 4.0l I-6 or even cut that down into the Jeep 2.5l OHV I-4 (which is a chopped down 258 ) then one of the milder Torqueflight 3 speed autos (I think it's the 904) for an automatic equipped TJ or a 700r4 if you're modeling a modded TJ. I'm not sure where to go for the 5 and 6 speed manuals as I can't remember which ones they used, but I think they might have been the AX-15 and NV4600.

I've got the external 4.0L parts (intake/exhaust manifold and injection setup) from the Tamiya YJ kit (they are nicely done, the block & trans, not so much). Now if someone (a caster) would like to put together a package including the 258 from the Pacer and the top-end 4.0L parts, I'll donate the Tamiya stuff...

Jordan White Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I mentioned it elsewhere, but you could use the 5-speed out of the AMT C1500 kits, since they're close to what was offered in the Wranglers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 A few pics of the wheels and tires, the latter of which are quite nice IMHO. The O.D. is about half-way between the two MPC Formula Desert Dog PCV tires: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooknladderno1 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 A few pics of the wheels and tires, the latter of which are quite nice IMHO. The O.D. is about half-way between the two MPC Formula Desert Dog PCV tires: Casey, I'm not a big fan of beadlocks, so I sanded them flat. I plan to cover the sanded area of them with Bare Metal Foil. They will go on my fire-rescue version of the Rubicon. It will feature some unique modifications. Look for it soon in the "On the Workbench" section. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stavanzer Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Day late and a dollar short. That's me. Just saw this thread. Does anybody know if the Soft Top from the Revell Snap Rubicon will fit on the 2003 Rubicon that is the subject of this thread? The kits look close, but I'm not sure. I may just have to spring the bucks and buy both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
