Tonka modeled several jeeps. They modeled the Jeep CJ from it's 1955 design, and then they also modeled the jeep Grand Cherokee.

[@diecast_MikeEspo]

AWESOMENESS !!!!!! Great work as always. Unbelievable set of vehicles.

You’re an absolute ninja! Sneaking up on me with a Part 3. These are amazing, mate!

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Glad you like them!

[@Nimmbin]

Loved this little 3 parter. The only thing I would have done differently with the jeep, is during the original design at Tonka, I would have mounted the spare tyre inside the back section. But they didn't so you had to follow the original design. Still looked kick ass though. Great restorations, thanks for sharing 🙂

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

There is a slot on the side and the back for the spare tire. Not sure why the side mount is a thing though, it looks weird and doesn't seem very practical.

[@Nimmbin]

@@TRGRESTORATIONS oh cool. I didn't notice the slot for the back. Yeah side mounts always look strange. But oh well, Tonka thought it was a good idea lol, and that's what matters. Still looks sweet.

If you don't like watching someone sandblast rusted metal, then you're a weirdo. I never miss a video.

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

lol tell 'em!!

[@adammilburn8855]

Yeah, there's satisfying... and then there's sandblasting Tonka bits.

[@raywood8187]

I'm a weirdo and I don't care who knows it! But I still like watching of sandblasting things clean.

[@gordonliddy7971]

**IS IT ""SAND BL;ASTING OR IS IT CALLED ""AIR BLASTING"""???**

[@bradleyj.fortner2203]

​@@gordonliddy7971 Technichally it's called "media blasting" because you can run different types of abrasive media through it, such as crushed glass or walnut shells etc. Crushed glass resembles sand though, so Sand Blasting is the layman's term.

[@Smurfit-dx2uo]

An amazing transformation. Love watching this channel

[@fredrichardson9761]

Really nice restoration! Always amazes me how well the UV+peroxide treatments works taking the yellow out of old plastic. I also like the old school heat + oil anti-rust treatment - I like it a bit better than cold blueing. I think the coating you get is a bit more resilient (probably only useful for small parts like nuts and bolts and such).

[@Primus54]

Excellent collection. Are you going to build an airport? 😉 I think it is smart that you’ve lately pre-assembled some of the body before painting. They probably fit together more snuggly and you don’t have to deal with the powder coating cracking when you bend tabs into place. 👍👍👍

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

lol doubt I'll be building anything any time soon. Maybe if my wife gives me her half of the garage.

Four rivets in the body and an all-plastic interior. Strikingly similar to a modern Jeep.

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

lmao!!!! probably just as confortable too

[@annettemalaski1967]

Wow! I looks like a factory fresh model! Since the other two are turquoise, I wonder why THEY chose to make the servi-cart white? Maybe sometime you could give us a shot of all the restorations you have done so far? I like seeing all the different types of models!

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Not sure why they chose the color scheme. Someone told me that was the color scheme of one of the local airlines near Tonka at the time.

You can keep for your collections of this Tonka Jeep. Nice restoration from #VillageRestoring

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Thanks, will do!

[@Garyhitch56]

Great work, always love to watch your work. I do have two questions this time however. 1- what did you use to heat those parts up with 2- how did you do the rivets in the back. I have never seen anyone use anything but pop rivets in the back due to the fact they cannot get their rivet tool in the jeep

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

It was a magnetic induction heater. My rivet tool fit in the back of the jeep, it just ended up not filming well, so it didn't make the final edit.

[@RavenMacy]

Great video/restoration, I'm a little unsure however how the Jeep fits in the set ? Maybe I'm missing the connection 🤷‍♀️

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Not sure either, I guess they just needed a third vehicle 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@brianevans656]

Beautiful restoration. I like a chrome front bumper. Front indicator lights need looking after. White or amber lenses doesn't matter. Rev counter, speedometer and fuel gauge decals on the dash not happening ?

Beautiful work. Why were you not able to use the existing hub surrounds? Are the they are type of rubber/plastic that doesn't respond to retro-brite?

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

They were dry-rotted and brittle

[@douglasmoore2441]

Did you get a new compressor or are you using better media? The blasting seems to be going much faster lately.

[@markschwegler1100]

Makes a nice set! Did tonka ever make a jet?!?!

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

They made a couple of cheap plastic ones in the 1980's. But nothing that would have gone with this set in the 1960's

[@markschwegler1100]

@@TRGRESTORATIONS that's too bad... A cool old metal plane/jet done to match would be a nice addition to the set.
