Jeep Power Wheel

[Chris]

I don't like the reviews on this Power Wheel, but I love the look!

We ended up going with the Power Wheel brand pink Barbie Jeep for our daughters 4th birthday. She loves it!

I didn't know that! The Power Wheel we ended up getting our daughter is a Jeep, but it's a JK. I couldn't find a TJ one.

These are about 4 years ago.

Oh man, how cool! It really is a TJ!

 

[EJD]

Lol, its a Rubicon too.

 

[Chris]

I missed the Rubicon part, badass! Does it have lockers too?

Lol, I think they forgot to install the air pumps.

I see a CJ grille, TJ Fenders, YJ/CJ hood restraints and wiper park job. and no JK elements... Win for me!

Awesome photos, around 11 yrs ago I got a pink and purple Wrangler for my daughter and she loved it. My son had a John Deere tractor and when he out grew it I bought an extra battery and mounted it externally, connecting it in series with the factory battery and holy crap did both my older kids have fun on that thing-I ended up ordering gear boxes and motors off E-Bay cause they would eventually get smoked but just as you have the memories with your kids as toddlers on those cool powerwheels the fun memories don't have to end when they're too heavy. Their smiles get bigger with the extra power!! :imwithstupid:

We are already looking to make our daughters power wheel Jeep faster. She got it a little over a week ago and at 4 years old, she's already complaining that it's too slow!

Walmart sells the batteries for under 100$ and they are simple too add in series,I had to cut the factory connections off the battery though and hard wire them together but she won't complain about it being slow anymore (till she craves more power) believe me the look on her face will be priceless. There are tons of videos on Youtube but I forget the keyword, maybe modified powerwheels. You should do it, Chris. The replacement gear boxes and motors are cheap on Ebay, you will need some. :firedevil: oh, you will probably need to add screws to the wheels if running off road to give traction as the extra power will just make the wheels spin for the most part.

I think I remember reading about guys using Dewalt drill motors in them. It's been a while since I looked into modding them though.

Well, I've been looking into modding it, but then I realized I can go out and buy something along these lines:

That one is on the high end of the pricing scale, but I've seen them for around $1000 for a nice one. That would be much, much better than a Power Wheel, don't ya think?

With that, you could drop a 600cc crotch rocket engine in it!!

I know... I have a Yamaha R1 and I just keep thinking to myself... How cool would that R1 engine be in some sort of Go Kart!

 

[xenocryst]

Wow! That's in nice shape! My kids have one too that they Grandpa and Grandma found at a garage sale with a car battery in it. It gets around pretty well!

 

[Chris]

So cool! Now I'm disappointed we ended up with a JK
