Mister 4x4 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 I like it! Nice job and Great idea! I like the direction you went with it, since the top would still be removable, were it a real car. When you mentioned 4-door TJ, I immediately thought of the Jeep Dakar Concept. It's really too bad they didn't go with that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModelcarJR Posted June 4, 2021 Author Share Posted June 4, 2021 (edited) Thanks, Dan, Carl, Dan and Eric! I appreciate your comments! This one is done! I stretched it 3/4" to approximate 18 inches. The 4 door is actually 20 inches longer than a 2 door but I cheated to make it simpler to measure and I think it looks fine. I had to cut 1/4 inch out of the rear panel so that I could fit a 1 inch rear door that was cut from the front door of a second kit and it fits just inside the rear fenders. But the net increase in length is 3/4". I also lengthened the rear floor, driveshaft and roll bars. I modified the front bumper to eliminate the bars and wench. I also added a piece of material in the rear cargo area to cover the manufacturer's signature. It looks pretty close to my son's Rubicon although its not an exact match. I had to add a little rat! Thanks for looking! Edited June 5, 2021 by ModelcarJR Copy to Under Glass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
