For such a high traffic little space, you'd think the city would be a little lenient when it comes to parking around here...there's one small space for a handful of cars, a random little grass/dirt patch where 4 cars can park..and then this sign. Yeah...because parking and having to walk 2.5km makes any damn sense. The most random places along Yonge and Bayview allow street parking..so why not allow people to park on the shoulder along Yonge St here?

Hey all!

Just picked up a Power Wheels Jeep Wrangler for my son from a neighbor - got it for $30 and looking for some tips and insight as to the restoration, possible rewiring, battery upgrades, finding parts, etc.

About the Wrangler;

- battery missing

- previous owner said it should work but didn't have a battery to test it and has been sitting for over a year

- few missing parts; 1x hood latch, 1x fog light cover

- wiring looks to be fine but don't mind rewiring if necessary

Questions;

He's turning 2, I know this is too big for him but at the same he's been developing very quickly - that being said, since I need to get a new battery and might need to rewire, should I keep it as a 12v? Or convert to 24 / 18v drill battery?

Where do I get parts such as fog light cover, seat belt, front hood clip? Of course other than buying or getting another used one for parts.

Can I convert it and add a parental controller? I'm almost positive this originally came with a remote but the owner can't confirm. If it did have one, where can I get a replacement? If I can't get a replacement or if it didn't originally include one, I'm assuming I can get a kit to convert?

Are there things to look out for/be mindful of when rebuilding?

Love to see other people's builds and the custom stuff they've done - anything you've added to yours that you would recommend?

Thank you in advance !
