Default Tonka Truck XJ on Power Block?
Anyone see the Tonka truck on Power Block?

Was flipping through the channels and saw it. On one of their clips about it the creator said it started out as a 92 XJ.

Kinda slick!

(sorry, no pics)

Yep, that's the one.

Built on a 92 XJ stripped to nothing.

It's only slightly less aerodynamic than the original XJ body.
