im getting into the small crawlers, and im looking for a ZJ body (1993-1998) im not gonna buy/build a chassi untill i find a body. any one have any ideas?

A bunch of dudes on rccrawler.com have them, I'm sure they know where to buy them. I heard there was only one company that produces them and they're in Europe or Japan or something. Check over there in the Bodies section.

im a member of there forum to, and have asked, and searched on the site. the only grand body i could come up with was a new WK body. im looking for a ZJ, and wont build any thing else. i have a 95, and want to build a scale crawler just like my real Jeep.

The guy you are talking about,
His name is Steven and he lives in Germany,
He made an XJ body and scale looking chassis

I have only seen the pink Barbie ZJ Grand Cherokee

I think you guys need to learn how to do body work. new grill headlights wouldnt be that hard to convert...

not as easy as you think. the link posted is for the WK, it is nothing like a ZJ.

i have seen die cast Z's on ebay, but the scale is way off. a 1/24 body will look like crap on a big crawler, it would just be a waste of time and money.

also, what pink barbie ZJ are you talking about? i have never seen it. i have looked threw several forums, and no sign of a Z any where.

that wasnt me I have never seen barbies pink either

I still think it would be pretty easy to convert a WK to a zj I have seen much tuffer conversions done on bodies..

i found it! i was on ebay, and there it was. its huge though, so im not sure how to start, but it was well worth $17.95! i will be getting it in the next week or two, and will post a build thread if things go well. oh, and no, it will not stay pink.
