Got this Adventure Team Jeep today. $25, 25 min. drive, pretty descent shape.



It (mostly) has the accessories that seem to be a little rare. The sellers (very nice people) say they will keep looking for the missing walkie-talkie.

Gotta figure out what's goin on with the front wheels. Has real lenses for running lights (I'm thinking LEDs, but there's no space behind them).

It has two 6-volts, but I haven't looked to see if they are included in the recall. The windshield doesn't stay up either, but the plastic is in great condition and the stickers are in pretty good condition.
If I can find/make new stickers I'll do a complete paint job (maybe Khaki?), if not, it may just get some pieces painted. I want to do lights, everywhere, and maybe a lift? I'm really having to fight off the urge to 'chrome' , to maintain the 'adventure' theme.
I'm hoping this will come through for head-lights and maybe tail-lights.

very nice score and with the telepack and everything! Sweet. I have yet to find one with the telepack intact.
Judging from what little I see of the charger in your pic, that will need recall work done.  |

Thanks guys, I was hoping I had done ok with this one.
You're right Mama, it is recalled. I just got off the phone with Fisher-Price, but all they offered is for me to make a 2 hour drive to get it repaired . I'm pretty sure I can tackle that one myself. I may integrate an on-board charger, while I'm cutting . When I get some spare time, I may try to pick up the ball on this...
