He also used an analogue console unit of a Royal Enfield motorcycle for this project. For its leaf spring suspension mechanism, he employed metal plates from an original jeep. Also, the miniature Jeep is powered by a 24V DC motor that is connected to the rear axle via a chain and sprocket.

The toy is fitted with a rack and pinion steering system, as steering systems of that small a size are not produced and hence he designed it himself.
