A popular slogan for Jeep® was “Go anywhere, do anything.” We wanted to emphasize that by helping them celebrate their 80th anniversary this year with this RLC Exclusive 1944 Willys MB.
They may have been created for World War II, but these troop movers have emerged today as a popular favorite among customizers who want a sturdy frame for an off-road vehicle. Modified to take on virtually any terrain, the Willys now heads out over the river and through the woods and across boulders!
Our 1:64 scale model features innovative diecast suspension that works in more ways than one. Each of the four compression springs works independently, meaning you can pose it at angles you might find yourself in when taking steep grades out in the wild. Not only that, but once you do, you can use the locking feature to hold that pose. Fun for photos! But it also allows you another choice: flexible or solid stance. How much bounce do you want? Plenty of options for playing with this piece!
You’ll find a Spectraflame red finish with painted tool details on the sides, plus a clear windshield that tips forward, a black rollbar, and a matte black-painted chassis with painted details on this edition. Clearly, it needed Real Riders 5-spoke wheels with off-road tires and Firestone tampo with matte black-painted hubs for all the tread it can get. Finish it off with a matte black interior that includes painted details in the front and back, and you’re ready to roll, rock, and ride anywhere. Strap in!
