Got my son a Barbie Jeep.

[Jmccracken1214]

We had already worked on my nieces all Jeep and I found this one for free, picked it up and made it not a Barbie Jeep.
Paint and some mountain bike tires screwed into the back tires for traction. Next will be dewalt conversion.
I did it on his ATV, without a voltage controller and it broke the gears lol. Waiting on amazon to deliver that. But this is what I’ve been doing the last few days.

That looks awesome! The paint job looks great.

 

[want2learn]

wow!!!!!

Your a GREAT Dad

Now you just need a deep cycle 12v battery to give it the added juice. My boy had a John Deere gator with one mounted in the bed.

I’m going to convert them all to dewalt, he has a JD tractor, a Kawasaki atv and this. But need controllers for them. In 2nd gear, with the 20V, it was hailing ass. Way to fast lol, and breaking shit.

What if he decides he likes the pink color better?

Nice work there!

It is one thing to use a stock item. It is another thing to modify and customize it to fit a very specific task or purpose, just like what we do with some firearms. It adds soul to it, if done properly.

Those lithium battery conversion are killer my cousin did that along with the bike tires for his daughter and the power wheel would wheelie. Nice job

I had to order 2 near gear boxes, his four wheeler had older ones that aren’t as strong as the current model anyways so it’ll be a good upgrade. I’d like to get the metal gears for it but I’m not dropping that much into these things.

Neighbor just did similar job for his son. Put a second motor on the other rear wheel and thing hauls ass.

Love the paint job!

That's awesome. Great idea with the bike tires. My two have a JD gator that's in need of a tire repair. They could stand to use added traction obviously. I'll have to look around and see what I can find for the battery conversions unless you can post some pics or details of your work.

I had a LED dewalt flash light I’ve never used, took it apart, gutted it, cut it in half and soldered on 2 new wires and ran them out the top, tapped them into the factory wire harness. I’ll post more pics when I get the controller wired in. The ATV is upside down waiting on parts. Here’s a crappy pic, but with the inline fuse in with it also. Pretty easy to do.

Hmm. I have one of those shitty 20v to 18v adapters that I burned up using it on a circular saw....I wonder if I can salvage that and come up with something.

You just need something that a battery will snap in, so you can solder the wires to that part, on the - and + terminal

Nice. FWIW I converted the led acid batteries to a lithium ion pack in my sons oset. Way more range and less weight.

I also went down the power wheels rabbit hole. Started out harmless with bumping the voltage up and a controller box to support a variable throttle gas pedal. Then I decided to go full custom. Built a chain driven solid axle with tires/wheels on it hummer with a 500w motor. Thing was sick. Would do wheelies. Burnouts when I held onto the rear bumper and smoke up the front lawn. Was going to change the sprockets and see how fast it would go me driving it and have a friend radar me. Never got around to it.

 

[408w]

Couple pics. Been sitting in the shed collecting dust for a couple years now.

 

[408w]

Two more

And I thought it was cool when I mounted my tippman a5 paintball gun on my daughters barbie jeeps roll bar.

THAT's awesome! Hell of a dad, you are! Mac

 

[TheGerman]

Needs pen flares.

Then you need to teach him how to make constant eye contact while shooting at people in cars with pen flares.

 

[Srgt. Hulka]

Hell Yeah!!!

Nice job Dad!

Like the tires screwed to the rear wheels. I just ran self tapers in my kids gator wheels. Then threw an old group 31 batt I got from a reefer in the bed and he could drive all day long before it got tired and needed a charge. Batt was on the heavy side but it did the job.
Love the paint job

 

[Sniperwannabee]

Awesome going on Craig’s list now

Put it on a pintle mount for the passenger / door gunner ?

 

[hermosabeach]

I’d be afraid of self tapper screws in a hollow tire as they might end up in the driveway and then my tire.

great job with the Jeep

I went slow, they bite down pretty snug into the rubber.

I need to step up my game. We got the grandkids stock jeeps.
