Wooden City: 4x4 Jeep

Wooden City 4x4 Jeep Model

During the Second World War, the American motor company Willys-Overland Motors began production of their legendary army jeep, the Willys MB. In 1941, mass production of this military utility vehicle began, and they were immediately employed by the Allied forces in large quantities. They went down in history as reliable, maneuverable and functional. It truly was a technical breakthrough, and a real "motor of war."

Today, both the jeep and its successor, the SUV, are expensive all-terrain vehicles designed for rugged individuals. They overcome obstacles, dust, roads, and hazards! They put real adventures right into your hands!

This 4x4 exemplifies Wooden City's difficult 3D puzzles for adults. It features everything you see in a real jeep:

• an internal combustion engine with moving pistons, and a trigger lever at the rear of the vehicle
• a ratchet mechanism
• a lever to switch direction of movement
• three moving pedals (each are spring-loaded with its own rubber band control)
• a hitch at the rear of the model designed for its trailer
• four-wheel drive and independent suspension on both axles
• removable shovel, ax, and jerry can
• rearview mirror
• a drive shaft and semi-axle shafts with crossings, just like you find on a real jeep.

This 4x4 drives up to 2 meters. After assembly, set the lever position to forward or backward, put the locking lever in the stop position, wind up the model with the key (you'll find the key in the spare wheel) and then lower the locking lever. The jeep has front wheel-steering. The hood opens and closes and is secured with two clips, and the windshield tilts.
