Though I don't own one, I'm hard-pressed to find one thing wrong with that casting. Perfect.
I really like all the different colors it came in too.

Nice pic, Wyatt.

I vote for the USN jeep too. but all are real nice. Time for JL to issue a 10 vehicle set honouring the Armed Forces. and all the guys and gals do to serve their country.

The casting that you have is the Jeep CJ-5 casting #618.
The ones that you have are all similar to this one:

This one is from Classic Gold 2 release 22.

The casting in The Picture of The Week above is the WWII Willys Jeep casting #065

Both are interesting castings with their own unique characteristics.

Roachmobkiller, you have picked up some very nice editions of the CJ-5.

Wyatt, thanks for the latest installment of POTW.
I always enjoy viewing them.

Cheers. Cobra
