    This weekend my son and I bought a pink power wheels Barbie Jeep of Craigslist for 75$ . In celebration of Memorial Day, figured it only right to give it a proper military Jeep paint job. Oh yeah, we also added 6 extra Volts and a trailer

    Sweet! How did the motors react to the extra boost?

    @rtzx9r No problem so far, but it came with 12v out of the box, so its only a 50% increase. This is the second power wheels jeep him and I have built up. The first one went from 6v up to 18v, it lasted about 2.5 years until the grassy hills on the WV farm did it in.
    @LivinOnEdge Soon as I can afford them for my own truck, then i'll put them on his lol

    @rtzx9r That was basically the situation with this. Pink barbie jammin jeep that didn't run. The batteries that come with these things are bottom of the barrel. Bought 6v and 12v sealed lead acid batteries, both 12 amps. Runs all day.
