Hi everyone,

normally I'm more into big rigs but now I'd like to share this special car.

It's a 1996 Jeep TJ.

I built it for my best friend who bought it a couple of years ago and has been working on it since then.

Since the TJ is his dream car and he's been my best friend for almost 45 years I thought I'd surprise him with this selfmade model.

It's about 97% self designed and printed.

Hope you like it!

For those of you who might ne experts on the TJ, I know it's not quite authentic concerning the chassis and the engine but I didn't have any pics to see the details so don't be too hard on me! ?

Forgot to show that the Hood opens too! ?

The door and hood hinges were really tricky. 

Had to print the door hinges five times because they broke!

They're only 1mm inside diameter and 0.7mm thick.

Not 100% But very close Nice Job! TJ is the last real body jeep. then came the JK and the station wagon JKU. Jeeps but not real body jeeps.

Thanks everyone! I'm glad you like it eventhough some details aren't correct.

Like I said, I had to design from the few pics I had of the original. The rest I call freedom of art! ?
