African Veldt Modified Truck

The April 1955 issue of Willys News published this photo. It’s a tour jeep truck for the Africa.  It seems a little too open to me. Those lions look like they could easily leap inside.

Customized Radio Flyer Jeep

• CATEGORIES: Features, toys This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Blaine spotted this unique kit. It transforms a kids wagon, such as a Radio Flyer, into a jeep-shaped wagon.

“XploRoller is a rugged wagon body that attaches to various wagon axles like, Radio Flyer©, Harbor Freight wagons, or go extreme and build a custom suspension system. The hood lifts up for a little storage (sweaters and snacks fit great). Start a fun project with your kid/kids and stand out from the crowd, don’t have WAGON ENVY 🙂

(THE GREEN, PURPLE, AND GRAY WAGONS ARE BUILT EXAMPLES)
This builder kit comes in raw form, prep for paint or powder coat is required. There are 10 parts to the kit.
X1 Aluminum Hood
X1 Aluminum Tailgate
X1 Aluminum Pan
X2 Aluminum Body Sides
X2 Aluminum Hood Braces
X2 Steel Axle Mounts
X1 Steel Spare Tire Mount
All body assembly hardware and side body trim is included.
