well i have wanted to do this for over a year now and after the last car show we attended i wanted a nice fun toy replica to sit with our jeep.
Although she is still too small to ride it by herself, she sure likes to sit in it .
i plan on keeping this as close to mine as i can. I have been aquiring and making parts all week and it is a fun little project.
I still have leftover paint from my Jeep so the color will match mine perfect
Sunday i removed all the Barbie decals and tore the entire Jeep apart
i then worked on the seats and added the pouches...heh
Made her a mirror tag for on her windshield...soda can for size reference

I also got a winch off another power wheels jeep, painted it and put a ramsey decal on it...
Last night i redid the whole undercarrage of her jeep from purple to black
Also picked up a YJ type rear bumper with the hoops that looks just like my rear bumper.

I've been thinking about making one to pull on my trailer instead of the dino cage just for a change sometimes.

I don't think anyone here needs kids OR an excuse to make one. I say go for it!
