Status: offline 		Hey guys I dug out an old Tamiya Jeep Wrangler that I have had for years. Its in great shape and thought about A) selling it. Or B) hacking it up into a crawler. It's pretty rare in great shape and just wanted any input of any kind. Thanks in advance

As a Jeep fan, I would love to have one of those. And hacking up a rather rare Jeep like that would just be bad news, if you ask me.

It's in good shape and just don't have any interest in it. I actually took some pictures of it today to see if I can trade it locally for a race ready rc18b. If you would like pics I can email them and if you would like you can just check them out or post them as I am out of the loop when it comes to that.

I agree with option C, keep it. That is a rare one, for sure.

Will email to above address and maybe they will have better luck if they choose to post. They are pretty poor pics taken indoors and with a flash (due to power outtage and rain) which makes it look like the lid is damaged. Thanks for the interest! Making this decision hard !

Keep in mind that if you decide to get rid of it, any discussion of that needs to stay out of the forums.

Haha , yeah its definelty a classic. It drives like a refrigarator on wheels! I'm still wondering why Tamiya went with the wheels that are on it. Pretty sure the Cherokee style wheels were never available on Wranglers, and if so were they gold like the Cherokee?
