I got one of those when I was a kid through a cereal mail-in offer. Might have been Weetabix.

Sad firefighter
I got mine at an antique mall here in town, and it came with the Honda motorbike trailer someone stocked with TWO of the bikes.....so I'm guessing that was someone's 'custom' 'set' (loose, no package, of course). Never had that Jeep as a kid....but when I saw it for a reasonable price in great condition with the added benefit of the Honda trailer and bikes, including the spare tire, I couldn't resist.

(Part of my interest is that in college I worked for a year in the college's fire department, and we had two very similar Jeeps equipped with small firefighting packages (30-50 gallon water tanks, hose reel, and pump) for patrolling the wildland portions of the campus, same color, and I intend to make one for my collection.)

I was gonna post a photo, but PB is pretty badly messed up this morning and unusable.....and is telling me it's "importing my Facebook photo albums".....which it better not be doing since I didn't tell it to do anything of the kind....and I haven't even "been" to PB for a few days....

What's amazing is that it's in rough shape, but still manages to have all four tires. Mine's mint, but it was missing two tires, one was provided by the spare, the other a junker Alvis Stalwart that came in the lot with it. I own a 1/1 '69 with the V-6 (the badge denoting such is my avatar) and a few miniatures, the Matchbox and a Corgi 1/35 to name a few. My 1/1, due to rust issues, will likely end up being a parts donor provided I can acquire the title and another Kaiser era CJ-5. Eventually, I'm gonna do a 1/1 vs minature comparison.
