    The Lego of the automotive world, incredibly reliable, fantastic for off-roading, the chassis and shocks placement is what kicked off custom shocks as a thing, etc.

    It was the Jeep (that wasn’t a military design) that defined the brand. Which Jeep spent all its time after just ruining.

    The steering was definitely very responsive for its time, though I’d personally call it a plus. Especially when it came to offroading, it was a huge benefit to get over hazards.

      Once you replaced the Lil Tikes suspension with actual suspension. Factory setups were always fake off road.
