Jordan, why not build a Tamiya 1/10 scale YJ? Their hardbody RC is very accurate & detailed, you'd have to do it curbside unless you cut open the hood & find yourself a 1/10 scale 4.0L, but at least you have a nice tub to start with! Full aftermarket support, could get pricey, but fully detailed!

Welly made a very nice 2-door JK 1/24 diecast, never sold in the USA, I got mine directly from China, will eventually do an Unlimited conversion...
And how she looks with bigger meats
