Grass Hopper Casting Details
One of the most attractive features of this casting is the assortment of items that are attached to
the body of the Jeep: a shovel, pick, canteen, jerry can, etc. The white plastic "soft top" is removable.
Grass Hopper Interior and Roof
The Grass Hopper casting has a metal chassis and two exposed engines, one in the front and one in the bed. The black
interior features two bucket seats, a steering wheel, and a small stick shift protruding from the center of the floorboard.
Grass Hopper Base
For the initial version, the Grass Hopper was made only in the US. Later, the Grass Hopper casting was modified and made in Hong Kong.
