I know Trail Blazer has some XJ toys and I thought there were a couple others on here that collected them. I happened to come across something yesterday while helping clean out my better half's Grandparents house. A Coca~Cola pickup truck that looks to me to be an MJ. I looked on the bottom of it to see if there was a model name on it and the only thing that I saw was a date of 1983. If anyone could post a picture on here for me, I will take a picture of it. This was the only thing in the house that I wanted. The garage was another story. I got tons of tools and I may get more after the rest of the family goes through it.

Is it the Tonka version size?
It's most likely a J-1000 copy. I collect the whole series.
I have several J series with various bodies on them. I have the forestry unit in red, w/ dump bed...the Sheriff;s black and white wagoneer, and a blue pickup J series unit with the 1966 grill created into it. All were Tonka... around 1/43 in size.

I don't think it's a J series but I have photos on Yahoo of it at http://f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/muddy88xj

You're right... no J- series or anything....
It'd be a stretch to see a Comanche in that.

Before you think I'm being snooty.... consider that my Jeep toys actually have "Jeep" stamped in tailgates, and have bonified Jeep grills up front. They are about 10 years ahead of that truck, and detail was closer. Corporations back in the late 60's weren't "sue-happy" if a toy manufacturer perfectly recreated their vehicles in miniature...they were pretty flattered.

Thanks for the pic. I'll try to get a couple of the earlier "Jeeps" for the board.

Trail Blazer is a NAXJA member, not a toy manufacturer... MuddyXJ was referring to his personal collection.
