On my local off-road club forum my wife threatened to give me away for one of those, forget about our firstborn. LOL

As cool as this JK based rig is though, when sitting along side it's inspiration (sixties Gladiator/M715) it just doesn't look as good as the original...even though the old-style front is on a full-size Cherokee that never had that grille from the factory, it still looks awesome!

That's my favorite grille style on the Gladiator. Please say you're working on one for the Honcho!

I will in fact be scratching a Gladiator "rhino" grill later on, maybe use all of the extra Honcho stuff to make a master for one of these also... in which the 725 could be built... RMR makes a rhino front assembly for their resin FSJs, not entirely accurate though... www.freewebs.com/rmrresin/nf125.htm

What I find interesting is the scale of it all...I park my DD Full Size (SJ) Cherokee (like a hidiously ugly version of the yellow one above) next to any "modern" vehicle...and it really doesn't look any bigger...smaller compared to some even! Look at the pic of the NuKiser next to the uber-fine yellow SJ. Notice they are very similar in scale? Odd...that,?.

Ted, our FSJs are a bit smaller than a "normal" full-size big three vehicle, mine sits in the garage next to our 2002 Tahoe, and it doesn't have the width or interior space that the Chevy does, but they were big as far as Jeeps were concerned ;D I'll bet an old FSJ is fairly close to the size of a new JK, which is quite a bit wider than your "new" Scrambler (which you better post pics of upon delivery ). I've got one of these Wellys on the way on the slow boat from China, since they're unavailable from any US dealers This 1/24 JK will be the basis of my next resin master...will convert to a four-door Unlimited, see how that goes, then possibly a European J8 and maybe do the Nukizer front end to retrofit onto the JK body if there's a demand.
