Well I don’t know if this really counts as a “build thread” but I figured I would throw it in here.
So before I even got my first j10, but I was obsessed with them, I started building this. I perfected it along the way until I eventually came to what I have now (pictured above.

I also have a topper that I built for it, fully equipped with a bed, tv, grille, and a sink inside, and jerry cans and a hi-lift jack on the rood.

And this is what it looks like from the back. Shoutout to my brother who helped with the design of the jeep letters

Neat.
I've been thinking about getting a J3000 RC truck.
It would be fun to play around with in the yard, and I could make it like a scale model of my truck.

Very nice; had bought lego sets for the kids for years, but have never seen custom built; at first glance, the truck on the trailer looks like an international, with its slab sides & grill. Thanks for posting

I dunno...plastic comes from oil, and our real ones are mostly steel...
Very cool; love the AMC badge on the topper.

There are 2 major differences between new Wranglers and FSJs. FSJs are meant to be both utilitarian and capable, not just capable. FSJs are also rarely initially recognized as Jeeps by the average American.
