What we like
- Spare-tire steering, suspension, and a V6 engine you can see under the hood
- Turquoise and orange colors with brick-built lights, which a Brickset member liked

Keep in mind

- One Brickset member found a drivetrain gear stiff and swapped it
- Two LEGO.com reviewers report missing pieces and contacting LEGO
How we reviewed it
What owners say.

Paraphrased from public owner reviews. Each one links to where it was posted.
A Brickset member liked the turquoise and orange colors and the lights built from clear bricks, but found one drivetrain gear stiff and swapped in an older part. They rate it their favorite of LEGO's three recent Technic off-roaders.
A Jeep fan says this was their first Technic set and only their fourth LEGO build, that it went well, and that the rubber duck detail is fun.
This buyer calls the build just okay and prefers LEGO's earlier Wrangler design. They dislike a part that stands between the front seats but like the front axle design and the colors.
