Thanks for sharing.

Nice photo, very realistic outdoor scene.

No doubt, It look well done for a budget model.

Nice shots...Need to get one of these at some point, although I wish they'd do the '07+ JK series.

My 1:1 (bought in March)

Thanks...its a 2012 with the new 3.6L Pentastar V6.

When looking, I had wanted the "Dual Tops Group" which gives you both the 3-piece Hardtop (2 pieces over each front passenger, 1 giant piece over the back seats/trunk) & the folding soft-top, but couldn't find one in a color I wanted along with the 6spd manual. I've seen soft tops on Craigslist for sale for about $500, so I'll likely buy one in the off-season.

i guess the soft top is easy to save yourself from sudden rain .. Manual is prefect for Jeep .. i wish somebody could have taken pain to make 1:18 . :rockon:

This looks like an amazing model for the money! Probably best Maisto out there?

@Gavin:
Great car! Really cool that you opted for manual.

It is one of Maisto's better models, that's for sure. Don't know that it is their best, though.

Thanks Sanchez. I'm loving it. I'll have had it for 2 years in March. 25K miles at this point & other than oil changes & a giant nail near the sidewall of one of the tires (bought a never used replacement off Craigslist for $45), it has been trouble-free...knock on wood.

Loving the manual...they seem to be getting more & more difficult to find. :manual:
