Note the Safari Gard and DiscoWeb stickers...Thought the picture was too good not to share.   Jack Leitch (Liveattheedge) Member Username: Liveattheedge Post Number: 239 Registered: 12-2003 Posted on Tuesday, March 23, 2004 - 09:31 pm:    HEY!!!

I guess it's a jeep thing, I wouldn't understand.

How was your experience there?   David Stephens (David_stephens) New Member Username: David_stephens Post Number: 24 Registered: 08-2003 Posted on Wednesday, March 24, 2004 - 04:39 pm:    Brian - it was easy. Ken/Gang are nice, responsive, etc. Truck prices were good. Little peeved about an accessory cost (changed my perception a bit), but I try to steer away from buyer's remorse. I'd buy from them again - and probably will. Not sure on service yet. How about you?   Jack Leitch (Liveattheedge) Senior Member Username: Liveattheedge Post Number: 260 Registered: 12-2003 Posted on Friday, March 26, 2004 - 12:16 am:    Check out the Archive article in the March 2004 LRO. Its about a Series 1 that was build for Prince Abdul in 1963. Now thats a toy i wish i'd had as a kid.

Of course, it would be plywood versus aluminum, and cobbled together versus superior craftsmanship, but you get the point. Last saw the kit on ebay.
