Hey guys! 
This is my first instructable and I think I did a fairly good job and I had a lot of fun building this! 
I love jeeps and I do personally drive a jeep. 

Please, by all means I would love to see you guys make some mods to this, bigger tires, better interior, add suspension which i will hopefully get to soon. Be sure to let me know if you change anything yourself!!
And also please comment! I love to hear what you guys think and tell me how I did! Any ideas or things you would like me to build please suggest it!

Soooo, here goes!

Building - Wheels

So basically just follow the pictures

YOU WILL NEED TWO OF EACH - THEY ARE MIRRORED FROM EACHOTHER

Building - Floor

Very easy, just do this or use snowflakes if you have enough

Building - Tailgate

This part is kind of confusing, but not too bad. Just follow pictures. And i used the wrong :/ but using the correct wheel wont be hard.

Modding a bumper and hitch would be awesome!

Building - Roll Cage

Simple. The rubber band helps.

Building - Front End, Hood, Engine

The Hardest Part! But you can do it!

This is probably the worst part in my opinion - mod if you can!
Engine block kind of moves around but oh well, I was running out of parts!

I also much prefer the gear lights to the light green lights but they can work also

Building - Front Bumper, Fenders/Running Boards

I like the bumper personally. If only it had a winch!

These details are easy-peasy.

Building - Seats

Last part of building!! Almost there!

This is also another part that can be modded easily to look cooler.

Almost there! This is going together nicely.

Make sure not to break it!
