Blue XJ Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 yeah that looks pretty good. I don't think I have even seen a 2 door MB XJ model before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carnuck Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I picked up some toy 4x4s that drive and light up (Stomper?) that look like a cross between an MJ and a J10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirsMJ86 Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I have an old Stomper, it is an 80s J-Truck with the square headlights that lightup. It is red and have "decals" on the sides and the "Jeep" tailgate. Also have a bull bar and roll bar. The semi trucks were REALLY cool cause they were 6wd.

fiatslug87 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 @Burgundi Comanches were never made, the pic above is custom made. A member on here (Dzzim) is working on a 3D printed one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigD.jr Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 On Amazon there's a shop that I can build rca and they have xj bodies MJ bodies and 2 for xj bodies. It's worth giving a look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The86manche Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Maybe you could reach out to hot wheels or matchbox and see if they can make a one off or small batch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A member on here (Dzzim) is working on a 3D printed one. I am working on a truck model in 1:64 scale and will probably scale it up and make larger ones available with more detail. At the typical 1:64 diecast scale it's hard to get much detail on an FDM printer. I may also make an SUV version but haven't decided yet. Just as a note, Jeep XJs are currently available in diecast.

I don't have the equipment to cast and at this scale, sand casting would offer less detail than the plastic model would have. And true diecasting is just not really possible at home. I could possibly cast them out of resin but at that point it would make more sense to buy a resin printer to get the high detail on such a small model. They will still look good on the FDM printer, so far I've been pretty pleased with the test prints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldSch88L Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 The only proper-looking thing I've seen is a body for those realistic looking RC rock crawlers. Otherwise, not much on the smaller scales. Even for plastic model kits, Jeeps are rare. There has been a J-Truck, ZJ, YJ, CJ and TJ model kits, but never any XJ or MJ, or even a kit with a 4.0 liter for that matter. I keep bugging companies such as Round 2 Models for at least an XJ model, but they seem more interested in creating those darn Star Wars and Star Trek kits...

fiatslug87 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 For those that don't know, there was a 1:18 scale wired remote MJ made. So keep looking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 been looking for one of those for 20 years. kinda hard to keep the ol' passion going after such utter failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglescout526 Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 I’d take a couple! Wish hot wheels or hell even matchbox if they’re still a thing to actually make some of these. I know there’s some XJ ones out there I want to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
