Jeep Grand Cherokee

[1320wayne]

I've been kind of all over the map in my building as of late, trying to finish long started projects that have been sitting around for years. The latest completion is a Tamiya Jeep Grand Cherokee that I started on years ago. 

It has a scratchbuilt suspension lift, American Satco tires, homemade and old Nascar sheet graphics and some small little scratchbuilt add ons like the brush guard and winch mounting plate. The rooftop accessories are from an old Fujimi detail set. The paint is Dupli color Ice White and Dupli color Chrysler Platinum.

Congrats on finishing a stalled WIP!  I have a few of those too.  Dig the winch.  Is Satco still around?  Now you just need to add some mud.  

I have that bike kit, plan is doing the Klein bicycle ad with the Porsche 911 Turbo on it.  Would have to scratch-build a bunch of parts and modify the frame.  Wish they p-e the chain and derailure.  Did you add the brake cables?

Well done. I like to see these built up for ideas for mine.

NICE!!

I like all the extra details, Mountain Bike, Wench, Roof Rack, and the License Plate Frame.

I like it. One of those is on my bucket list to do. You did a nice job on that one. I wish someone would produce other versions of Jeep Cherokees.

I missed the "wench" in those pictures...

Looks real good!  I just got this kit and was contemplating a grille guard for the front end.  You've given me some ideas...

Thanks Kurt. Yes, I added the brake cables along with a rear brake caliper that was not present on the bike. There's one for the front however.

My wife wouldn't let me add the "wench". There is a dog in the back seat though, but I didn't focus in any pictures of it for fear someone would complain that I didn't open any windows.

As a Cherokee owner, I think that is awesome! Love everything about it??

Sharp build.  I have this kit in my stash.  I wish some of the newer generations of Grand Cherokees would have been kitted, I’m a big fan and I’ve owned two of them (‘00 and ‘14).  

[stavanzer]

Wow! That's a Winner for sure.

[OldTrucker]

Don't forget the bike is on the roof when you put it in the garage!

[slusher]

Super nice! I really like it!
