Really neat jeep. Better than the ones on the roads. Well done.

Definitely a neat jeep! Thanks, Tony!
The weight distribution on the trailer is tricky. I hadn’t realized the PO doors were so heavy.
I put some coins in it, and if the weight on them falls more behind the axle than in front, the trailer tongue tips up. I’m thinking about putting some lead in the front bottom of the bank and then holding it in place with a piece of wood. Maybe adding some sort of stop beneath the rear bumper of the trailer, too.

Wow! Awesome job! The detail is fantastic.
Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".
Good looking pair Tony 👍
You went to town with the accessories, tools, gas can, even the ribs on the barrel.

Another fine rolling piece by our resident Tiger. That back trailer view could only be better if it said BRINKS
Not sure of much these days, but I do know my Wife is in love with the swap truck Tony sent me for last years BBQ/Beer swap. It's in Easter garb right now, and that changes seasonally.

Wow....such a great job and details on the Jeep are wonderful.
They are well-detailed and I like the PO box thing. So creative!

Maybe you say you are not an artist or sculptor but what you do with wood is amazing! Just the tires you have made are incredible. Great work! WOW!

Wow - amazing detail!!
Yes that is cool. My Dad purchased one from Army surplus after the war. It was our hunting rig, tractor, his ride to work transpotation and what I learned to drive in at 10 years old.
Good job on both of these. I really like the idea of the trailer done this way, very original.
The bank trailer is a cool idea. Nice job!
Very cool and love the trailer idea. Years ago I used to collect banks had well over 100. Was always fun to add a new one to the collection. Much of it is gone, lost or sold over the years.
