MsDano85gt Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 yes they need do need to reissue there are a few versions last most recent I think being "pink poison" those go for ridiculous amounts of cash on the bay as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford guy Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Very cool Dan! I always thought these trucks were cool. If they were to re-issue these, I'd buy 3 or 4. Nice build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan White Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I wish they would reissue this kit. I was lucky enough to get my hands on my brother's built kit to rebuild, so I didn't have pay out the nose for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brizio Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Nice! And a real Honcho! A lot of people call honchos all the SJ jeep pickup, when the Honcho is only a decals package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan White Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Weren't they really classed as J-10s and J-20s? Yes they were, the SJ was the fullsize Cherokee/Wagoneer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsDano85gt Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 Weren't they really classed as J-10s and J-20s? yes j-10's and j-20's my Dad had a j-10 which was a v6 motor with standard shift tranny 4x4 thinking of carefully removing the motor so i can go ahead and wire this guy for that little extra realism and detail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MsDano85gt Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 saw another memeber getting ready to make a rock crawler wish I had another kit to do something like that with, This one was a simple box stock build, except for the swapping of the auto tranny for a 5 speed from a cj-7 along with grafting in a plymouth duster firewall to the flat no detail plastic firewall for more detail such as heater hose and wiper motor, as well as borrowing the cj's chrome wheels thought they looked a touch nicer then the kit provided wagon looking spokers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeBoyle Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 (edited) Love your build. I'm another vote for reissue. Edited August 20, 2014 by MikeBoyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsDano85gt Posted August 23, 2014 Author Share Posted August 23, 2014 Thanks mike i'll be watching yours for sure I am also trying to build a "scrambler" but i don't think i quite extended the bed far enough so it may just turn into an extended bed cj-7 rock crawler or something i'll need to watch your build carefully on how to go crawler style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Love it. Not Revell's finest effort, but in the right hands it makes for a pretty convincing little replica. Very nice. I wonder when Revell will get around to reissuing this one? Scott Whenever it is, it won't be soon enough if you ask me! Quite a few versions of this I want to build, and that number doubles when you count the resin Wagoneer conversions I want to build as well....
