So, while taking the blame for dals co-addiction of 21st century jeeps , I thought I would post a pic of mine , now you may recognise the shameless re post as one of the pics is my August photo comp entry , but hey I haven't taken any more photos as yet , having just moved house ,as you may imagine many boxes waited to be unpacked, just lucky the jeeps where labelled and the wife allowed me a bit of playtime so here is my shameless repost I have put a lot of personal kit in and around these jeeps , I just imagine if you where a soldier going into combat in 1944 by jeep you would hang all your kit off it whilst driving along ,as there would not be enough room on the inside for 4 guys and any supplies plus what you could pick up ,anything you can scrounge ,beg , borrow or liberate along the way

They really are the best type of jeeps for our little guys! and, I don't get to say this very often, you are the reason I own two of these marvelous vehicles! Loving all the kit you have added to yours Jay! it all looks as it was meant to be! I am sure these photos are the first of many adventures awaiting your guys in the deepest, darkest regions of the back garden!

I am already wanting to get another of these rigs, and I haven't even taken any decent photos of the first one!
But you set the standard extremely high, here; with all the extra gear and accessories you've loaded on, the scenes look impressively realistic, and the "stock" Jeep looks plain and dull by comparison.

Fantastic shots Jay!!!
Like Dal said they look extremely realistic with all the extra gear and details -- beautiful!!! And the setting really adds to the realism.
A little bit of Normandy in your back garden!!!
Top work!!!

There's a nasty rumour that the area they are liberating is going to be changed into a flower bed!!
Such a waste of such cool 1/6th terrain as the Jeeps really do look the business there!

Planting season is past and Fall will be here soon. Maybe SWMBO will get distracted setting up the new house and give you a little more time in the wilds of your new garden...if you aren't totally busy working on the new house...
