I know it's a jeep, heavily modified by myself and my buddy Sawzall, but J.D. is only 1 year old in this pic and seems to have a knack for getting himself into vicarious situations. The truck is a 99 Power Wheels Wrangler, modifications include: trimmed body, nails in the tires for traction. Soon I'll be installing another motor and improving on the suspension........as soon as I can find a Power Wheels pick-n-pull :D
You know your in deep when your childrens toys start lookin like ARCA rigs :D

Hey Sixgun, do a search on yahoo for Gaucho Jeep. It is made by a company called Peg Pergo and is called the Gaucho Silver Edition or the Gaucho Grande. And it is bad ass... I've got to have a kid just to get one. The sticker price runs from 370 to almost 700:eek: , but damnit is a cruiser. Even in Peg Pergo lines the cruiser is a couple hundred more than the jeep!!!! HEHEHE

check out this link, I'm to lazy to link the picts... bad ass!!!

Rick the boy is lookin tough there. Maybe start a kids club, Future Wheelers Of America. I looked at the web site for the Caucho, nice lookin stuff. Did you see the prejudice? Underpower the JEEPs and ask less for them, only in America do we glorify the Import and rag on the Domestic that we built. Im J/K Justin is a true wheeler GETTIN IT AWN!!!!

I saw one, and I had to buy it for my kids for Christmas.

They dig it. I dig it. It's 12V, one motor per rear wheel. The hard plastic tires suck for traction. I'm going to put some rubber tires on it somehow, maybe glue the rear diff. :)

They are expensive. I couldn't really justify it, but I had to have it, I mean, get it for my kids.

My four-year-old can do three-point turns, and knows how to get himself unstuck w/o getting out of the 40! He's torn off almost all the fender flares already. :)
