@@Unbrickme The solid axles are a pretty defining feature of the wranglers at this point. The solid front in particular definitely impacts on road handling in favor of off road ruggedness.
I love that you look at both the pros AND cons of the set. Lots of Lego TH-camrs don't cover the negative aspects of a set, and it's refreshing to see such an honest approach.
I think that the lack of front springs mimics the disconnecting sway bar that the original Rubicon has at the front axle so in the Lego set kinda makes sense to leave the front axle free and not spring loaded so the front has more movement than the back.
The actual Jeep has that suspension because it is the Rubicon (there is a button on Rubicon versions that removes the sway bar automatically) and it helps with rock crawling. If it were a Sport, the base model, it would have individual suspension and you would have to manually get out of the car and unscrew the sway bars. Rubicon is the top end and most expensive for real Jeeps that also includes a wheel lockers button. If you want to know more about jeeps please let me know!!!
Great review! If you really want proper suspension pieces that are useful consider getting a 42037 set for basic suspension pieces that are pretty useful
I feel like you expect way to much out of a lego car lol. I use real rc crawlers and I dont see a huge issue with it. Its very hard to make things scale and have tons of features at such a small size. Over all I think its a great little looking crawler trail jeep made of lego.
Yeah but the other technic models have plenty of features like a drivetrain, an engine, and better suspension, but it is $50 dollars so it’s acceptable.
These vehicles are all descended from the original military general purpose vehicle made by Willys-Overland company for the United States military starting in 1941. The name was commonly referred to as simply GP which ended up being pronounced as the single syllable sound “jeep”. The name stuck and when they started making them for the public after the war they named them Jeep officially. Actually it was designed fast at 75 days in 1940, no way you can do a clean sheet vehicle design in 2 days. Another great video but I must take exception with your critique of the front end, I personally think that when considering the number of parts used and the price point LEGO did an exceptional job getting the whole body including the front to look close to authentic. The main thing on the front of any Jeep vehicle is the seven vertical slots of the grill.
Awesome videos! Just discovered the channel and love the content. Although I don’t own many technic sets, I appreciate the quality and effort you put into these reviews! Keep it up and Merry (late) Christmas!!
Good review, however, two things you got wrong. (1) Jeeps don't have independent suspensions, they have solid axels. (2) Most Jeep Wranglers are NOT Rubicon models. That is the top level Wrangler and probably comprises less than 25% of the Wrangler models on the road - there are many other package levels, Sahara, Sport, Willys, etc.
Uh most Jeeps have always been Live Axle which means you will never see IRS. But of course you knew that right? Next you want the disconnecting sway bars right? Come on now, also these are not that expensive compared to the other kits. I am hooked on these kits, yeah they aren't perfect. Also remember the huge bank LEGO pays licensing from Jeep or anyone of else. I would have liked BF Goodrich Mud terrains but that is just me. The Wrangler is coming as my 3rd kit after my Mclaren Senna I am doing, and after I get the Corvette. Fun review of yours.
I had a big problem with the shock absorbers in the back where the springs are far too compressed, making the entire back of the car unable to align correctly. I'm not sure what I did wrong since apparently nobody else has had this problem
When you say the the jeep looks like a frog and you named it "The Frog", it reminded me of my dad's jeep, which I named "Froggy" because it looked a lot like a frog in the nightime and the lights were all on.
It would be pretty cool if you cut snow and the jeep wrangler and made the spare wheel hook up to the winch so then it would go in when you would turn when turn thespare wheel in the back
Fun build .. I’m. Just getting back into building the technic sets again after a few years and this a fun one to start with again..will move up to a more challenging one next.. but don’t know which one to get?
Both awe awesome in their own way! If you prefer off road era, the Jeep is better for you! If you feel a need for speed, then the Mclaren is the better option
Owning a wrangler my self, this does not look like a jeep, they should have made it the size of the landrover! That would be way better. To capture the scale better.
On my technic lambo the transmission was working perfectly fine then suddenly the gears started to make loud noises, and when I pull it back, it goes forward like those toy cars, you have any solutions?
That means that there’s something blocking the motion in the transmission. The gears and up turning and “bending” the axles, so it ends up acting as a spring pullback system
Funny. I've seen a few of your videos now but on this one I disagree with almost every point. I'm no Jeep fanboy and I don't think the branding adds anything to this set other than stickers and a price tag. This is a play set, not a model. The proportions are way off and it looks little like the prototype it's supposed to represent. I think the suspension is very clever and perfectly fit for purpose. It's simple enough to build and the shocks at the back are stiff enough to level the car. The steering I immediately changed to 'normal' straight up HoG steering. I found it very awkward in the positiona and angle it's in. While doing that I also changed the roll hoops (if that's what they are) behind the cab to a better shape and filled the enormous gaps below the doors. From a functional point of view my biggest criticism is the ridiculous turning circle but that's been a problem with Technic for I think 15 years now. Anyway, keep making those videos, nothing wrong with hearing a different point of view every now and then ;-)
Would it be possible if you could do a video showing how to add a gear train with a working v6 engine? I just got this set and would like it to have a drive train however I won't be able to work out how to do it.
It sucks, at that scale you can add a real winch, and actually have pendular suspension that goes squish and a drivetrain. Zerobricks made one with full suspension, front steering and its awd. I am skipping on this one
I love this Jeep but its design has a mistake and it is that the curves of the real Rubicon are round and the Lego ones are square and it makes it look like an old Jeep But it does not mean that it is a very good set :D
There’s no set in stone reason it’s called Jeep. But, there are many theories about how it got its name. Some believe it’s from gp or general purpose as you believe. Other myself included think it’s from the popeye character. But that’s what’s cool about Jeeps there’s no wrong answer on how the name came to be.
I myself am a Jeep guy and a bit of a Jeep historian. I have 3 Jeeps myself and I restore them. I have a cj7 (still building it), a 2006 Jeep TJ, and a 2016 JK.
Merry Christmas 🎄🎉🎊🍾
Merry Christmas
Wishing you the same too, bro 🙏🏼🤗
I got the app controlled top gear rally car for Christmas and built it the same day as I got it 😀
@@rainhaase awesome
@@Unbrickme merry Christmas to you as well
2:35 "unfortunately the suspension is not independant." Jeep wranglers don't even have independant suspension
Oh nice! Thanks for letting me know I didn't know that!
Had to bite my lip when he said he wanted independent suspension. I was just thinking 'this guy clearly isn't that familiar with jeeps'.

@@Unbrickme that's why I'm afraid to talk about car stuff
I came and looked for this comment
I would love a Jeep Wrangler in the size of the Land Rover defender
Same here!
they have a red MOC wrangler on ebay for $77 i bought one.. i am going to build one
If we could get an older jeep model to go with this one mabye a yj or cj
Look at CaDa, they have one, fully remote controlled and with lockable differentials.
That would be neat, i would also love to see something like one of those old chevy or ford square bodies made by lego

thank you very much for letting me know about the jeeo wrangler!!!
Incorrect. All wrangles use a solid/live axle setup. No Wrangler has ever has independent suspension.
I’m trying to save money from chores for this set 😊👍
I'm going to combine 2 together to make a 4 door and add a rc system to it
Great review! If you really want proper suspension pieces that are useful consider getting a 42037 set for basic suspension pieces that are pretty useful
Thanks for the tip!

I agree…. His expectation is way too high
The only Jeep wranglers that say Rubicon on the side are the Jeep Wrangler rubicons, it is a trim level
2:57, nooooo 1 of the tires is facing wrong way the stripes. Or are the 3 other tires just the wrong way🤔
Good catch
@@ShunTechnicBricks no I did that on accident

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it and you’ve made my day :) merry late Christmas too!
No cap cool and I'm going to get it for my birthday
happy birthday
Honestly it is way better to get an rc crawler like this instead of a lego one
Bam! Great idea on the tyre winch that would have made so much sense as winding up is a pain!

Love it......❤️
I had a big problem with the shock absorbers in the back where the springs are far too compressed, making the entire back of the car unable to align correctly. I'm not sure what I did wrong since apparently nobody else has had this problem
Thank you I literally just got this car
personally, I like the wrangler it's very good value for the price and I love the challenge of adding a gearbox and an actual motor
I really wish that Lego would feature more alternative build set-ups, even for the main project. (A little mod push)
thanks so much!im getting this for Christmas,it helped me a lot and I know what I want now!
also there’s not ONLY the rubicon, there’s the sahara, and the sport.
When you say the the jeep looks like a frog and you named it "The Frog", it reminded me of my dad's jeep, which I named "Froggy" because it looked a lot like a frog in the nightime and the lights were all on.
I mean there’s the sport and Sahara trim levels but I guess
I'm surprised they didn't use the spare tire for the steering.
With a few extra pieces it’s easy to move the drive train to its proper location
I didn't know that it jumped! lol
It’s a frog :)
I’m building this one right now
It would be pretty cool if you cut snow and the jeep wrangler and made the spare wheel hook up to the winch so then it would go in when you would turn when turn thespare wheel in the back
Jeep came from the Ford GPW that was also produced during World War II. Very similar to the original willies with a few minor differences
You maked excited to complete my new technic jeep
I got this lego Jeep my self and I love it!
yeah my alnd rover crackled even after i fully rebuilt the gearbox and fixed te propeller shafts so i murdured it and used the parts (don't judge)
3:50 bro how tf you do that?😂
I cant play with it for a while because my fingers started almost bleeding from building this car lol
I built the McLaren Senna GTR and my hands were fine? How is it like to build it?
Fun build .. I’m. Just getting back into building the technic sets again after a few years and this a fun one to start with again..will move up to a more challenging one next.. but don’t know which one to get?
2:35 Real jeep doesn't have independent suspension so this set is correct
The Jeep wrangler looks small in your videos but I got the Jeep wrangler and it's medium sized lmao I still love it though.
Hey I’m with you on the tires I love them too and I wish they would’ve included those in the pool back monster truck sets
i think the thing that bothers me most about this kit is the fact theres no vertical travel to the suspension
Also, the jeep wrangler set is my first Lego technic set.
I could see how u could make the back tire the steering wheel to make it look more flush
I'm pretty sure that half of the price comes from the new tires on the set.
do you prefer this or the mclaren? Btw i got the ducati and wow is it awesome!
Both awe awesome in their own way! If you prefer off road era, the Jeep is better for you! If you feel a need for speed, then the Mclaren is the better option
You got a sub here man. Cheers for the great review.
Much appreciated! Thank you very much!
I built a snorkel for my Lego technic jeep wrangler
I love this content
This is a "small" set. Imagine the big ones!
BTW, I added some silver stickers custom cut to fit the side mirrors.
Ok that’s kind of genius with it having a gearbox for the winch
The Suspension is how its supposed to be, the real wrangler also has solid axles
Oh nice! Thanks for letting me know
Owning a wrangler my self, this does not look like a jeep, they should have made it the size of the landrover! That would be way better. To capture the scale better.
I haven't got a gear box in a WHOLE YEAR
Should do a review of the Lego Creator Off Road Power set. (5893)
I still love mine though
Am I the only one bothered by the right rear tire being on backwards?
Soluved the headlight look. Change out the overhead spotlights with the headlights. Looks way better. Lol
Awesome! Thanks for letting me know how to do the modification
If they ever made a pre made Lego set, i don't think it would sell
I build a stock version so no winch and I like it was more :Edit my set was missing a couple peices
On my technic lambo the transmission was working perfectly fine then suddenly the gears started to make loud noises, and when I pull it back, it goes forward like those toy cars, you have any solutions?
That means that there’s something blocking the motion in the transmission. The gears and up turning and “bending” the axles, so it ends up acting as a spring pullback system
Kinda want to get one of these because they seem really cool

Das Rad hinten rechts, wer hat's gesehen 😉🎯🏴☠️
3:50 I just got this set today and I got this issue where my Frog Wrangler won't stop jumping like a frog. Any solution to this issue?
I just get rc crawlers. There way more expensive but it's worth it. Mine costed $600 but you could probably find a good one for $200
I wish they had tires like this on the 42110 lego set
same!
I got the same one but mine was 42
It sucks, at that scale you can add a real winch, and actually have pendular suspension that goes squish and a drivetrain. Zerobricks made one with full suspension, front steering and its awd. I am skipping on this one
Maybe a real drivetrain wouldve made the price higher
I bought this for a friends 10 year old son. I hope he likes it.
So should I get it?
if you like it, yes you should get it
I love this Jeep but its design has a mistake and it is that the curves of the real Rubicon are round and the Lego ones are square and it makes it look like an old Jeep But it does not mean that it is a very good set :D
Do you think the Wrangler or the McLaren is better? I’m kinda on the fence on which one to buy.
i think wrangler is just slightly better
The tires aren’t new because you can find 2 with white rims in Lego set 60287
Duncan -Donuts that’ true, however both of these sets were released together in winter 2021
Fare enough
Was thinking of buying it.. $40 in u.s right now 2021.
Legendary!
I want to motorize this
Good luck
Plizzii Games I can try motorizing it! Meeey Christmas
Meeey Christmas to you too!
@@thebrickist8859 merry Christmas and a happy new year
I love it
Is it controller
Ey this jeep worked good fo me
Just because a set doesn't have a gearbox, doesn't make it bad. Its a bit clickbatey. Plus not all functions need to be powered, such as suspension.
I love buying this and not knowing how to tie
oooo thats so cool
Will you be getting this set?
yes
LYPOZ Merry Christmas 🎄
Winch is also weak mine got cut
Some Walmarts have this set for $40. Now.
"a small 50$ set" 50$ is way to expensive for such a set without much funktions.
Can you control it with your phone?
I'm pretty sure the name JEEP came from General Purpose. GP slurred as JEEP.
Oh nice!

can i buy one and decorate my wrangler rubicon with it?
Jeeps got the name from ww2 they used to be called gp’s which turned into jeep
nice
I actually think the headlights look pretty damm good.......bottom line. It’s still just a toy!!!!!!
Yeah but these sets that are just toys used to be much better for the same price
Says wrangler but on the Jeep says Rubicon
Which is better for you, Senna gtr or Jeep Wrangler?
tough one, I like them both. but if I had to pick one, maybe the jeep
This set is really cool I wonder if someone could make it rc.
i can try to make it rc
That would be cool
Sure
Make rc jeep pls
is this set durable?
yes!
