Rugged Ridge’s Pinewood Derby Jeep CJ8 – Click above to enlarge<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nWhile some of us have never tried to fashion a Pinewood Derby racer out of a block of wood, the chances of such an endeavor turning out half as well as the work of art that is the Rugged Ridge Jeep<\/a> CJ8 is next to nothing.<\/p>\n

The Jeep Scrambler<\/a><\/a> is a classic, and this wooden Derby version is impressively accurate, right down to fender flares, mirrors, off-road lights, jerry can, Hi Lift Jack, tube steps and spare tire carrier – all hewn from a single block of pine.<\/p>\n

While we’re not experts on the subject, we imagine the scale Jeep’s aerodynamics are about as good as the real thing – which is to say, pretty darn bad. Still, the Pinewood Derby Jeep CJ8 managed to snag a third place finish in its racing debut. Nicely done!<\/p>\n
