LEGO Technic 42122 Jeep Wrangler detailed building review

[@searme]

Get well soon!

[@RacingBrick]

Thank you!

[@lynxro409]

Oof

[@The_RC_Dude]

Wow, Sariel watches RB too!? Actually...makes sense, both make awesome videos about Legos!

[@legobrixz]

Sariel I love your channel!

[@awes0men0b0dy9]

Hello Sariel big fan

[@jaynobles.215]

this absolute MAD LAD. He did it. He is playing with LEGOS in a hospital

[@mtbrain4879]

How do you know he is in hospital

[@RacingBrick]

Maybe he followed my previous videos? :)

[@stopmotionstuds8531]

LEGO truly is the best form of rehabilitation!

[@TacoTeaser]

This was my first Technic lego. A nice way to get familiar with the style of the build. With just over 600 pieces it didn't take a long time to build, About three hours. It gave me confidence to tackle a bigger project.

[@kevinkong6202]

If it had an engine and rear diff (or even any drivetrain) I would consider modding it and add remote control functions. However, with the size and existing format, I think it would need major reconstruction, unlike the Lego Porsche 911 RSR which is easy to convert. It should be even harder if you want to make it 4WD when there is no existing drivetrain installed in the vehicle.

[@The_RC_Dude]

I really liked the idea, but for $50, I wish it had more features, or was a little bigger to house those extra features. I'll buy this in, when it goes on sale for $35. Get well soon, can't believe your still making reviews, even from the hospital!!

[@moditorplayz]

The blurred out pictures is the 42118 monster jam grave digger and the 42119 monster jam max -d

[@R0Sch88]

Great review! I'm glad that you give objective pros and constructive feedback about the cons. I think it's good that LEGO made an affordable and playable Jeep for the kids rather than another Land Rover scale car in the new 18+ range. The price is more than ok for a licensed Technic set compared to previous non-licensed sets at this price point.

[@moonoggin]

We just bought this and my 7 yr old grandson put it together. It's the coolest Jeep and line of vehicles that lego has ever made.

[@anhex.5747]

You seem to be breathing hard and too much. Don’t overdo yourself. Have a speedy recovery!

[@lucaspeters2613]

Third review I watched on this jeep

[@stopmotionstuds8531]

Why don’t they release these new technic sets before Christmas?

[@Inflator82]

They have to get rid of old stuff first. Pure marketing, mate.

[@jirifiala5090]

Sell the old sets

[@leominecraftplay1084]

They sell expensive stuff in august an October to get more money

[@Unbrickme]

I seriously hope that the 42121 excavator has a 2 function gearbox. It has 2 separate linear actuators controlled independently, these axles should merge together to a 2 function gearbox in the main superstructure, you spin ONE gear at the back and you use the gearbox to engage into either the bottom or the top linear actuator. I want it to be like the 8294 excavator

[@poisonedpotato5307]

Gearbox isnt the best in all sets

[@Dannyfalussy]

I'd say there is enough functionality for this size. I dont mind having to sacrifice the usual boring engine for a more interesting wheel geometry as here.

[@mmcnama4]

YES! Your thoughts captured the missed opportunity so well. I was JUST telling my wife about how lego needs a jeep two days after building the Technic Land Rover and two days prior to this being announced. I'd love to see a higher fidelity set. The iconic grill on the wrangler being stickers!?!?! Where's the creativity there?

[@RacingBrick]

No stickers, prints :) And due to the scale any brick-built solution would look weird I think. They choose the prints to ensure the proper representation of the "iconic grill".

[@mmcnama4]

@@RacingBrick missed that. At least they did that then. Not sure it represents the car well though.

[@BrickYourDream]

having Jeep license, I hope to see Jeep Technic in different scale with decent gearbox and other cool Technic features...

[@WhatTheBrickTV]

I was expecting something more. So many amazing MOCs that do the Wrangler far better but, like the Corvette, the piece-budget is limited. It’s a good model for what they had. Looks more like a heavily modified Wrangler than a stock version. Would ave preferred the spare tire act as the HOG steering.

[@epitsdfel]

what a cool toy you can find in a Hospital 😁

[@zeichnerkollege]

Thank you for the video. No hassle can stop you! Hope you'll make it home for Christmas. I think it's a great set for an affordable price. Why is the fifth wheel not the hand of god steering? I fix this. And the car needs a few narrow yellow tiles on the edges, gives a better look. Sariel is right with his complaints concerning the front lights. They shouldn't stick out of the front, instead should be integrated...

[@shampo0oLWD]

If I were a kid I would totally love this set, but I bought the Land Rover already this year so I don't need another offroad car right now xD. That 42121 excavator looks really promising though, looks like an instabuy when it comes out! You can never have enough LEGO Technic excavators! But those offroad tires look great I must say!

[@zachcheung8400]

This is a set I'm definitely getting, for my mom mainly since she loves Jeeps.

[@Dadudi]

Very nice review as always! Anyway, not a bad set...but it could have been much better. I wonder why Lego didn't put soft shock absorbers...hard ones seem to be not enough bouncy for such a light set. Looking forward for the next reviews and have a fast recovery 😉👍

[@bossolo7582]

me too i see soft shocks working better here

[@tjhermanek]

1st things first, I'm new to your channel and wish you a healthy and speedy return. Next im a huge Technic fan and even though it's a smaller build am a little disappointed in the fact there is no moving engine like the corvette you showed in this video, and it wouldn't have killed Lego to add suspension to the front end either that is a big let down to a set i was looking very forward to. Last thing THANK YOU for what you do, I really love these channels of AFOLS that are a fan of Lego, keep up the great work and wishing you a speedy recovery.

[@coffeeinhandproductions3238]

Expected this to be in scale with the Range Rover, however as as smaller scale 50$ representation it's still quite serviceable, and should be great for younger inexperienced builders. Looking forward to your review/thoughts on the upcoming Ferrari.

[@bossolo7582]

for me, same identical judgment i had for the corvette: - not accurate reproduction of the real model, but really good afterall if you look at it as a generic one - some building tips can be educational and give you some ideas - gonna have a pair of them when on sales just because of pieces

[@SnowyDan325]

Wowowwowowow! Only 24 centimeters! In my country is something very rare! That is so big compared to what is common here on Guatemala! Anyone: What is Guatemala!? Me: EXACTLY it's a miracle I have this frickin set, and I think it is very cool. PD: great vid RB!

[@77pdph]

I am jeep fan and owned a Jeep Wrangler unlimited before. When I first saw it, I'd like to get one. But it's disappointing not have any axle to transmit, I'd modify it with my control set but without axle it will need more parts to do.

[@latinbrickfan4810]

Great review!! I did a speed build of this Lego set. I liked it but improvements could be made to the set.

[@leronpereira6859]

Good to see you back, bro and doing what you love best 🙏🏼🤗

[@diogopires9418]

hi, my brother and his gf me one today for my BR. Because we got one jeep wrangler in the same color. i am going to legoup today. so excited about that. great review

[@carlmatthews5559]

Just bought this for my girlfriend who is getting into Lego so it's simple enough for her and she seems to like it she hasn't built it yet but it looks good

[@ageg1]

Cool A great present for jeep fan

[@MarcMas07]

Good video Racingbrick

[@Tapitus-totalus]

At least you have something to play with in the hospital 😀

[@MarcMas07]

Waaait a minute, did you just record a video in the hospital?

[@RacingBrick]

yep :)

@@RacingBrick what a madlad Did you even take the photo thing(the white thing that makes the background white )

[@RacingBrick]

I had a small gray photo backdrop on the table if you mean that :)

[@MarcMas07]

@@RacingBrick Yes i did, and wow

[@imthefunnyone5448]

They offer a lot for there size. Have 600 to 800 peices is a lot for the price. Having suspension and a winch in the jeep, having a differential and a engine in the corvette and having butterfly doors and engine in the senna.

[@UncleRa]

I like the general look of the car, but the front lights are a big failure. The lights should be submerged in the front grill, not to be stuck on top of it. This is the most iconic part of Wrangler's look. The way they did it in LEGO, this car looks more like a soviet UAZ-469 (just make it green). Disappointing.

[@Randomcat70]

thanks my first ever off road set

[@avic6069]

I think the only reason I would buy this set is for its pieces, like the turntables, suspension, and tyres.

[@arkadygorodischer6159]

Completely agree with you. It's a small set with good part list. Yellow is pretty common color, the printed front can be useful (as I don't applay stickers), the new panels are OK, especially the small onews

[@tomooo2637]

Best wishes and get well soon

[@NicolasCharretier]

I think this set is definitely a "Licence set for kids". By that I mean, children that may be new to Technic and look after some gaming model. Complications such as Drive train with differential, fake engine, or even active steering wheel are more for intermediate/expert builders looking specifically for the complexity of the integration of such complications. A friend's kid received it as a birthday gift, he was all over the place, really happy and proud to build it solo.

[@timy101]

Your right I'm a John Deere fan and I got into technic because of the tractor

[@zionjarman3610]

The best tires are black rims with the mustang tires it looks so good

[@brixxter7184]

Nice Review. I have a question regarding the size of the tires. What is the width of them? By now I can't find any information, neither on the Lego-Site nor on Bricklink. Thanks for your reply in advance.

[@RacingBrick]

Width is 26mm

[@rotatingcat1957]

Greetings from Poland btw :D Get well soon! Anyways you have something to play with :D

[@tassosmodellbaugarage2934]

This wheels, i'll see the first realistic Tractor mocs

[@largewallofbeans9812]

I modded my 42122 to have more suspension travel since the back axle's travel is very limited. I made a video about it if anyone else wants to use my mod design.

[@amirpenkar947]

If you motorize it with BuWizz it would be a cool video!

[@LibertarianPhoenix]

Do you think the model has enough room for motorization? (You should actually add this question to your reviews 😉)

[@RacingBrick]

Well I need to try it before making any judgments :) The chassis and the axles needs to be completely reworked for a motorization, so it would not be easy for sure. Don't think keeping the body only would count as a simple motorization :)

[@AlienPrague]

Hi, i made the mod :) it was a bit challenging, spent hours and hours on it.. if you omit suspension, its doable. please see the galery/video on rebrickable rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-79403/mkolar/powered-up-rc-jeep-wrangler-lego-technic-42122-b-model/#details

[@clydubando3273]

wiLL this fit to the Lego car transporter, Lower or top deck?

[@legobrixz]

I think it is something like the first responder

I really enjoy these 50 dollar sets.

[@dlbrickerstudio]

Please Blasz make this set into a motorised one !!!!!!!!!

[@brooklyngilmour3660]

The ones that you blurred out are grave digger and Maxd monster truck and I have them the secret ones and the rubicon

[@opsaboteur1524]

Wish the color was green or grey, get well soon as well

[@alex_hitman]

I really wish that this set is motorisable. Anyway, how are you doing, RacingBrick?

[@RacingBrick]

Well if you keep the body, with a small power source it is not impossible but the whole chassis needs to be reworked for a motorization. I'm fine thanks, counting the days left before I can return home :)

[@AlienPrague]

Hi, I made the mod, chassis completely redesigned from scratch... please see the gallery at rebrickable: rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-79403/mkolar/powered-up-rc-jeep-wrangler-lego-technic-42122-b-model

[@alex_hitman]

@@AlienPrague Awesome!

[@asphalt8clips229]

Which set is a better option? This or the senna Gtr? The senna looks to have more pieces but less functionality, while the jeep has more functionality but less pieces

[@RacingBrick]

I don't think there's a better option, both sets are fine for the price if you don't expect any complex Technic trickery :) You can choose based on the color or the parts, or whether you want to go off-roading or racing :)

[@thlui]

Was just curious how you built the front axle to have a better turning angle

[@RedCometNurse]

Does this fit on the Car Transporter set? Your McLaren Senna video demonstrates that set doing so, but not this one.

[@RacingBrick]

Because when I made this video I did not have the car transporter with me

[@RedCometNurse]

@@RacingBrick Ah. That makes sense. I am hoping it does fit. I hate how bare it looks with only two cars (the Corvette and the blue car) on it. I am getting both the Jeep and the McClaren, so if it does fit, the model should look a little better.

[@RacingBrick]

@@RedCometNurse the Corvette has a dozen alternative models on rebrickable that fit nicely, I suggest to take a look at them.

[@eloreneloreneloreneloreneloren]

The breaths between phrases are very audible. You can hear how it is cut off, and then you can hear it again when a new phrase starts. You need to make larger pauses between phrases. But your review is cool (from hostpital, wow), thanks.

[@RacingBrick]

Yeah well I'll pay more attention to the editing when I'll have the proper circumstances again :) I don't have my usual equipment and it still takes much more time to do everything, so nex time I hope it will be better :)

[@RacingBrick]

The official LEGO name of the set is 42122 Jeep Wrangler, so that's why everyone calls it this way. As far as I know Rubicon is a type of Wrangler so calling it a Wrangler is not incorrect.
