I used Lego Digital Designer (LDD) to model a 1990 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. It features an opening hood (bonnet) and rear tailgate, a working V4 engine, and folding front seats. It uses 643 parts and has 216 steps in the LDD Building Guide. The LDD .lxf Building Instruction file is available for download via Rebrickable, or via SkyDrive here. I used the LDD to POV-Ray^TM Converter (LDD2PovRay) software for these sharp renders:

The working V4 engine moves when the rear axle turns. You can see the Lego Technic elements used:

The real vehicle looks like this (note that the camera created a slight "fisheye" effect and the proportions are distorted a tad):

Here are some LDD screenprints of the 12-studs-wide, 35-studs-long, 9-2/3 bricks high model. One can see the slanted, folding seats and other details:

Awesome build, Dluders(as with all your designs!)

Instantly reconizable, Is that built to Miniland scale?

I really like the engine detail(neat extra feature)

My only critiscm would be to change out the 1x1 headlight to a center mounted 1x2 plate(I think the 1x1 just looks too tiny compared to the rest of the truck)

Otherwise, Great design, Thanks for sharing!!

This MOC has been added to Rebrickable, so you can easily see what Bricklink parts you need to build one yourself!

Nice MOC ! I like that it has an engine that moves when you turn the axle and it looks realistic too.

I love this! I've always wanted a real Wagoneer, and this model is spot on. I would be much more inclined to buy this than the VW van.
