After taking a look at the front steering assembly it became apparent that putting motors on the front was nearly impossible. Even if I trimmed away all the plastic I would still be about an inch short. The options were to extend the steering arms (creating bad handling) or use the ugly Barbie Jeep. The old style jeeps fit motors on the front.
Here is the ugly Barbie Jeep... (gonna be hard to make er pretty)
Because it was in desperate need of a paint job we decided to paint it like Sarge from Cars! I have seen a couple of these and always wanted to do one. Awesome! Two projects I have always wanted to do in one a 4x4 and a Sarge Jeep. Jayden will definitely be the only one with a 4x4 Sarge.
Here is the jeep after much work of tearing off stickers, disassembling, washing, sanding, and washing again.
And here it is after a fresh coat of army green paint.
Its all out drying in the garage. Next will be installing the motors and doing the detail painting.
