My brother built that kit back in the 80's. You have email.

**special-K** · 01-09-2010, 11:47 AM

Is the kit re-issued or are we talking about the Jada diecast?

Oooooo. Ok nevermind then

**FleetsidePaul** · 01-09-2010, 05:07 PM

I'm there

**special-K** · 01-09-2010, 07:46 PM

That`s right,it was Johnny Lightening.Besides,I looked at my kit and it`s a 71/72 grille on the original and JL made it a 69 because that`s what their Blazers are.

GREASEMONKEY72 · 01-11-2010, 07:44 PM

thats pretty cool

**FleetsidePaul** · 01-15-2010, 01:04 AM

Funny they make it so hard to find this stuff then a sh!tlo@d of them end up at Big Lots marked down.

OARNGESI · 01-15-2010, 08:04 AM

Id like to get one if there is any left next time you go

DirtyLarry · 01-15-2010, 03:27 PM

Wow, that is cool. I never saw a small Boondocker before.

Here is an original Boondocker model kit that I build in the 90’s. Fabbed up a lift kit and added Swampers. The Boondocker kit was been reissued a year or so ago so I bought a case of them from http://www.modelroundup.com/index.html a while back. 4 kits come in a case.

Do ou still have that?That`s a great job and looks like something we might see in real life.When I had my green`71 I was laid up with a broken foot in winter.The Thunderbolt kit was out then and I built a replica of the Blazer.The kit comes with the normal axles and wheels,too.I robbed the wheels and tires from a`78-1sh Monogram kit...Ground Hawgs.Close enough.I had 13/37 Super Swampers and these were about 14.50/38s.I gave it and a lot of other monster truck stuff to a buddy of my son`s.He had CP and was showing interest in the 4wd scene at about 10 y.o. I wonder what he drives today.He`d be about 32 now.

DirtyLarry · 01-16-2010, 10:36 PM

Yeah, I still have it. It sits on my desk in a model display box. I remember that Thunder Bolt kit. I build one of those too many years ago….now you got me wondering where it is? It is probably in a box around here somewhere.

**special-K** · 01-17-2010, 01:47 PM

I was going nuts trying to find mine after all these years.I had a monster truck El Camino,too.I still have the boxes.Then...finally,I remembered little Joe and me giving him some models.I hope your`s turns up.

90\87Formula · 01-28-2010, 12:46 AM

Darn you.

I just had to go see. I ended up buying around 15 JL diecasts. Got several of the JL Gold Series. You cost me $45
