Well as we all know Chap Mei does pretty well with basic stock Real World hardware at cheap prices.
Unless of course you want the V-22 Osprey then Much More out for that :( LOL
Anyway, Re found in a box the old Chap Mei Dino Capture Land Rover I have. Removed the front net mechanism.
Initially I just added "AT" stickers to the vehicle and that made a good change to the base model.
Then it struck me a little LED work and custom modification I could have working Tailgate and LED lights.
So took it apart, removed the molded rear tailgate. Made a new one and micro screwed into place. Gotta love Watch Repair kits for their tiny nuts and screws.
Then started fitting front and rear and light bar LED lights.
Sanded the Sculpted plastic headlights off. Removed the side roof lights. Repurposed the clear yellow light fittings for the new headlights. Just dremelled the hole big enough to fit them.
Wiring done for front and back lights with Battery stored in the Spacious underside of the seats. Then fitted the On/Off switch on the underside too.
Light bar, after a few dremel mods and have the 9volt sat within the BOX. Job done too.
Finally a splash of colour to the front seats and put the thing back together.
