One of the icons of USA cars the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon (JK), a real leyend still alive.
Complete instructions available HERE
It is built in scale 1/10. With an overall size of 23x52x25 studs(18x42x20 cm).
It weights 2.7Kgs, and has around 2700 parts
It is powered by 5 PF motors, 2 IR receivers and one PF AA battery.
- 2XL motors for drive
- M motor for steering
- M motor for sequential gearbox
- M motor for drive mode and range gearbox
Fully openable doors with bonnet and trunk.
The rear spare wheel is connected to the battery, so to turn ON/OFF the battery you only need to turn slightly the wheel one or other side.
V6 fake engine and complete interior with working stering wheel.
As usual 5+R speeds sequential gearbox (4th GEN).
2-speeds range gearbox and 2WD/4WD modes. Also its has an important feature of the Rubicons versions: lockeable front and rear differenfials.
Realistic drive modes, you can select sequentialy between 4 drive modes: 2H, 4H, 4L and 4L with lock diff.
I know many people like the Wrangler looks more extreme, for them I have built a second pair of axles. They include portal hubs and an extra 3:1 gear reduction.
They also add 2 studs high and 2 studs wide of each side
Important note: even with trial axles this car is not a Trial Truck, you can not expect Trial Truck off-road capabilities...
Also this time I release at the same time the Manual version. It has the same functions of the RC version, including 5+R speeds manual gearbox(instead of sequential), 2 speeds range gearbox, 2WD/4WD modes and lockeable differentials.
As always finally complete video:

Pretty Cool!! Can you say something about what you expect from Lego Porsche Contest? http://www.lego.com/en-us/rebrick/contest-page/contests/the-lego-technic-ultimate-contest
Precioso el video Fernando. Vas a conseguir que Villacarrillo sea conocido a nivel mundial. Espero con impaciencia poder construirlo. Enhorabuena.
Fernando
Nice. How similar is it to the defender build?
If you mean about the building process, yes, it is similar, you built it in big parts and then place it together.
COOL
But the internals are updated and all new?
All mechanism are complitely new, nothing related with the Defender. More compact and of course much more reliabable
Just awesome! I probably only have half the needed 2700 parts but man what a fantastic creation. Is there a parts list available? I couldn't find it on Rebrickable.
how to buy
Do gearboxes have definite control like porsche and mustang or not? Maybe like MB 300SL...?
IT is like 300SL, this control is less confortable, but more compact and reliable
There is a simple and fast way to answer all your questions: buy the instructions and discover how it works by yourself.
Dónde puedo comprar uno y cual es precio???
Las instrucciones las puedes comprar en esta web pero para las piezas debes ir a bricklink.com
Where do you buy all the parts for the jeep? On here?
Are there any new MOCs coming up? It's been a while...
Hi sheepo, are you still making cars?
are you interessed in using the BuWizz
Il is cool, but I still have not any option to get one
How do you order them?
Hi, Sheepo, where are new posts "making of...". It was very interesting and educational to read these posts.
Hi Sheepo! When we can expect your next creation? Cheers!
Hi Zoli!! Unfortunately I don't have too much time to build, I don't have any new big car in way. I just have one new MAP bodywork and a few MAP chassis and attachments but even then I don,t have time to do the instructions and the video :(
Sadly hear that. I hope you will have more time to work on a new project.
Will you update the "Sequential gearboxes family" page with this gearbox or will you not update the page at all?
Hi sheepo! I have two questions. Is this jeep as fast as your mercedes? I was wondering beceause I have built it and it was surprisingly fast, but maybe this car isnt, beceause it weighs more and has more friction beceasuse of the many gears. second question: Is there any moc comming out soon? Im always very excited for a new car ;) Hoping for a response :)
Hi, This Jeep as you think is much more slower than the Mercedes, the efficiency is a big problem with big cars.
About new cars, I will not publish any new car soon. I have build many new MOCs(not big ones) in the last months but I don't know if I will publish them. I built them for me.
Do I have to get the instructions for this or can I know how you lock your differentials?
Great.. This blog is very interesting. I can say that it's will be very helpful for every person who were searching for a perfect blog about Custom Jeep Wrangler. I hope that you will continue your blog writing.
