    The article describes how to build a scale model 4x4 off roader toy out of wood using easy woodworking techniques.

    The materials list includes various sizes of wood pieces labeled A through J to make up the different parts of the vehicle.

    The main assembly steps include cutting the wood pieces, gluing blocks together, adding sides and other features, drilling wheel wells, and mounting wheels and axles.

    Project 19178EZ:

    4 x 4 Off Roader
    With the increasing popularity of 4-wheel drive off-road vehicles, it was only a matter of
    time before we came out with our “wood” version. The scale of this toy is fairly accu-
    rate, so the finished product looks very much like a real 4 x 4. In fact, you may be a bit
    reluctant to hand this fine looking toy over to junior. Don’t worry though, it’s built tough
    and will take punishment, just like the genuine article.

    We built our 4 x 4 using cherry and walnut, but most any wood will do. It is best to select
    a dark wood for the blocks (A and B), as this will lend the wheel wells and grill an au-
    thentic look.

    4 x 4 Off Roader Complete Schematic
    4 x 4 Off Roader Step-by-Step Instructions
    1. Cut the stock for part A about 8-1/2" long to accommodate the notches to accept
    the bumpers later on.
    2. Cut part B to size.
    3. Cut out stock for the hood (C), top (D), sides (E), bumpers (F and G), and the axle
    blocks (H). NOTE: Cut these parts square since you will be shaping after
    assembly.
    4. Use the dado head to cut the notch in part B to accept the hood.
    5. Use the dado head to cut the axle grooves in parts H.
    6. Chamfer the axle block edges as shown.
    7. Hot glue together the two 1/2" thick side pieces temporarily.
    8. Transfer the illustrated grid pattern to the sides.
    9. Use a saber or jig saw to cut both pieces out at the same time.
    10. Drill a starter hole to begin making the window cutouts.
    11. Use the jig or saber saw to cut out the windows.
    12. Cut the profiles for the bumper notches.
    13. Separate the two sides.
    14. Glue the two blocks (A and B) together.
    15. Add the sides, positioning them so the upper block protrudes 1/8" at the front,
    giving the appearance of a grill.
    16. Glue the hood and top in place.
    17. Sand to shape as shown.
    18. Use a plane to bevel the sides at the top.
    19. Use the table saw dado head to cut back bumper notch to 3/8" wide and the front
    bumper notch to 1/4" wide.
    20. Glue both bumpers in place and flush their lower edges to continue the angled
    undercarriage profile, front, and rear.
    21. Add the axle blocks and mount the wheels and axles. NOTE: Since there is little
    clearance on either side of the wheel wells, axle block position is important,
    and you must watch out for slippage along the axle block glue lines.
    22. Sand the 4 x 4 thoroughly, breaking all sharp edges.
    23. Leave the toy unfinished.

    nal (Nov./Dec. 1985, page 44).
