I KNOW you guys have jeep toys as well as your full size jeeps... For some reason they just call out to us as loudly as their big brothers..

Anyhow , Post up some shots of your collections...

Here's the majority of mine..

Not what you would call a collection, but I did have to buy parts(the spare tire and hubcap) for it!

It's not mine and it's not a toy but this seems like a good place to post it. I do drive by this thing quite frequently. It is a full sized exact bronze casting of an MB. It's located at the Cole Land Transportation Museum in Bangor, ME. The real MB is inside the museum. Very cool place.

Wow, Ryan, the whole thing is Bronze? Amazing detail for a sculpture...I love it!

Notice how my toys echo the rest of my collection...Not everything is perfect condition, most of them are beat up, and the plow jeep is the rustiest, of course...

   The wooden ones I usually ignore but the red one was so primitive and old I figured why not, and the other monster truck jeep one was only $2.

    Where did you buy spare parts for a Tonka??
