Greetings!
Guess I'll just have to live vicariously through SnowtrooperJr, since I will never have a Hurricane;)

Yea, his cladding looks better than mine....
His plate says FUN R8D. It came stock with the Hurricane.

pretty cute, thanks for sharing
I think Jeep recently finished dead last in the JD Power rankings, so maybe it's a good thing you don't have a hurricane :)

Hey, he's the boss!
I actually did buy him two VX's! The Hurricane is his daily driver;)
He's got a sparkly Astral Hotwheels VX, and a Astral Tamiya 1/32 motorized, but he has a very hard time fitting in those.
The boy loves driving in the Dragon, especially on the "bumpy roads", but as smart as he is, I don't think he could navigate so well. He's only 2.5 years old. Maybe next year;)
Love the idea of modding the Hurricane to a monster RC!
I think Bart would love the Hurricane if it were black...

I don't know man, Jeep is going to have to do something revolutionary to make me like the way they look. Especially the newer stuff, the Liberty, the Patriot...wait for it.....wait for it....here it comes.... ;puke2;

Someday, Jeep has GOT TO CHANGE the grill. It was ugly from day one, imo. I know its the face of the Jeep, but man...I just don't like it. Never have.

:) I had this before and I will say it again. I really have no problem with Jeeps, in fact, there are several things I like about them. They just bore me to death with their looks, that's all...

That said, this one we saw in Moab was pretty sick:

Hi,
Try putting a motorcycle sized 12v battery in the kiddy hurricane...
I used to do this with my nephew's electric jeeps. Makes them fly!
I even rode in them! LOL :eek:
