    I bought a Jeep toy for my grandson from All Things Jeep. It's made in Germany, and is a good quality toy for $16. Oddly, it has CJ4 characteristics such asflat fenders but a tapered hood...

    I wonder where they got the drawings to build this model :?


    It also has a hood that opens, and functional rack-and-pinion steering... ;)

    They are real common in NZ
    They where produced by mahindra as a long wheel base 3B between 76-96
    it as all the same running gear as the 3B the only difference I could tell from the pics Ive seen is the steering

    The last pic is a cj4m(military)
    The cj4 that is found in New Zealand is a Mahindra cj4, not technically a Jeep.

    Not technically? Howso? It was manufactured under license from Willys. Willys and Kaiser licensed all sorts of manufacturers around the world to build Jeeps. Not like it was a competing brand like the Toyota FJs or something like that.

    Licensing a Product and changing the name to make a hybrid aren't quite the same as Jeep having a cj4 and then not building it. Not meaning that the Mahindra wasn't a jeep but the Mahindra cj4 was never designed by Jeep nor was it a prototype designed by Jeep. The Mahindra was simply a licensed copy of a cj3B with alterations that need not be licensed (I would suspect) and Mahindra called it a cj4.

    F-head and a t90. You have to realize the Jeep cj4 was never put into production they only built a few prototypes.

    :shrug: You say potato I say potato. I think it's a Jeep. Heck, I have a poster with the Jeep lineage on it hanging above my desk, the CJ-4 appears on it, so does the Hotchkiss though. ;)

    Saw CJ4 on ebay a few years back. It was rough. Only thing left was the drive train, the fenders, hood, windshield and I think one seat frame. I may have found the link on these forums. I dont remember. Sold for about 7600.

    Bill F Finally running

    There are at least two cj4's known to still be around, the long wheelbase one that showed up on ebay, and the red one of the cj3b page.
