From trash to treasure, nicely done, sir.
I loved this! I had this same one as a kid. Last week when we were cleaning out my mom's house I spotted it in the dumpster I had rented, my soulless sister had tossed it out! Needless to say I rescued it. :)
Thats awesome
Out standing ! lopsided up sided, who cares nice to watch a artist at work. Bravo.
WOW!!!!! what a restoration. Really nice Tonka Rock Crawler!!!!.
Glad you enjoyed it
Sand-Blasting is so satisfying!
That was quite the conversion. My brother had that toy when he was a kid, and he likes RC cars. He would love this.
That's one of the coolest videos I've ever seen.
You sir are a BAD MAN. This was like watching the 1st episode of Pimp My Tonka. Supreme work this episode. 💪🏾💯
Thank you! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Maybe someone should start a channel just for that. I'd subscribe.
That fractured blue was awesome
This is wold's best restoring
I had that Tonka as a boy in the 70’s.
Nice build. I was very happy to see that you added a driver.
Great to see Duke again!
Paint is awesome! Turned out unbelievable! Thanks...
That sand blasting is so cool
Tune the suspension and she'll ride perfect.
Big Jim never had a better upgrade!
Great job, the paint job like magic.... Chop the top, bigger shocks.... This is a winner...
I should have kept the Tonka dump truck I had as a kid! This RC conversion is cool!
I used to have one of these trucks when I was younger
As a kid I always wanted one of these trucks
hey great modification keep the army guy amused
Big Jim's got a pimpin' ride!
Modern painting techniqes are awesome :) greetings from Poland :)
The tonka jeep looks like it has been through a apocalypse
Oh my goodness folks, now THAT'S how you do not only a restoration, but making it motorized!! Awesome episode Tim, one of the best I've seen and I watch a number of restoration videos. Great color for the new Tonka and so many of your craftsmanship skills and creativity were on full display. I look forward as always to your next project and you and yours stay healthy and safe. Cheers from this old retired coot living in Tennessee.💖 👍 😷 🍻 👀 ✌
This video made me happy. Just happy. Thank you.
Had one of these as a kid. I'd sit on it and scoot down the driveway. Such a strong toy.
Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Coolest thing I’ve seen today.
Omg that tonka truck bring back so many memories or my child hood that was my favorite toy truck ever I loved the truck
I used to roll my GI Joe down a really steep hill in one of these. His head came off once lol.
You are a genius.
Pimp my Tonka! nice job.
😍😍😍👏👏👏
Sorry for all the comments but damn bro... beautiful... and the fracturd blue is mind blowing ...
Except for the slight suspension lean, in a word... WOW!!!
Good god I had that! Was my favorite toy ever! Wow!! Memories!
Great Job! I love it. I had one of these and it came with a jack and a spare tire. My G.I. Joes were always fixing flats. LOL. I also had a Ford F-150 RC truck that I painted dark blue and painted the rims black. So your project reminded me of two of my favorite toys as a kid. Thank You. :-)
Awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I absolutely love that New color you choose !!!!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic powder coat
Great work on this reservation. It turned out great. Put it on a mantle.
This is what all i wants and dreamed about to do with toy cars when i was a kid. Tune them so you can drive them like this😻😻.
That's some serious skills brother!
I really like your choice of interior color. I would have gone the easy route and blacked it out. But, you picked a great color. It's really close. Love the build.
Coolest refurb ever. Looks alot better lifted up. Had a little bit of a gangster lean to the right.
Nice Restoration; I had that toy truck when I was a kid!
The Fractured Blue is a WINNER! What a GREAT JOB you did on this one.
This was one of my favorite toys.
Excellent job and the paint looked amazing.
Big ass truck, amazing job with paint.
Man I wish I still had my Tonka dump truck ide have you pimp it out too fantastic work
Sand blasting the hood was incredibly satisfying.
Lol, I was going to say the same thing. 🖖🏻
Yep, I gotta agree; satisfying.
I liked that you put a little driver in there! Otherwise it would have been a huge missed opportunity 😂
The remodel turned out really great!
Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Krásně jste ho zmodernizoval.
Only half way done with this video, but man you got perfection stills doing this.
Bronco is born
Loving the Blue
After a long day doing Army stuff, watching this is therapeutic.
I have this truck. I’m 46 and received it as a kid. Mine is in better condition, but needs an overhaul. I put a lot of miles on that truck! It’s in our basement and our 7 year old son plays with it.
I think the driver has passed out in that first driving scene 🤣
Also nice work.
I think these old trucks look better with the wear and tear on them though.
Lets call it patina 👍
DAM! YOU BROUGHT LIFE INTO THAT OLD RUST BUCKET!!! Excellent!! That sandblasted is the highlight. 😄😄😄😄
Pure bloody genius. You get the best of two worlds. The scale and size of the wheels are so close to the original Tonka wheels. Need more of this but with another iconic Tonka truck. Brilliant idea, thanks for sharing.
Fantastic engineering. As usual a top notch job.
loved it. I had one of those old trucks in the 70s always hated it when the wheels feel off.
Wow that thing is huge! Or maybe it just looks that way because I watched these out of order and saw the tiny truck video first 😄😄😄
Beautiful conversion!
That was an awesome conversion. It was great to see this toy restored and repirposed even better than before! Excellent work!
Bad Ass!! Very cool transformation/restoration.
Even complete with Tonka's version of SGT Slaughter!
Awesome work & restoration! Looks super Bad Ass!!!👍👍
.. from Italy.. Amazing paint trasformation 👍
Fantastic job!! Great to see you take a different strategy!! 💯👍👍
Never saw that before on all the videos I've watched of all the people who's remaking cars. I've never seen one do that. Turned it in for a while. Taka truck or whatever you want to call it into NRC racing car. That was pretty cool that was pretty cool
This episode sure got me thinking of the 'Star Wars' Amanaman action figure.
Simply the best!
So realistic with that "Chevy lean" with the suspension
Congratulations for your beautiful project. 👏👏👏👏
I had to watch this. I had that exact Tonka when I was a kid.
That turned out great!!
That was just so cool!!!!! Would love to have that.!!
Super job. Nice color choice.
U need to do more videos like this it was pretty awesome
That is one beautiful truck
Awesome my friend.Great job!!!
Brilliant! It was just amazing. The dude looked happy! I know I was.
Absolutely delightful. Super job.
Thank you very much!
Excellent job
That was my favourite toy in the late 70s early 80s. I still owned it up until about three years ago, it was in mint condition and I had all the accessories for. Sadly we moved and I couldn't bring it with us so I had to throw it out. I really appreciated your video giving that toy a new life. Well done.
One of the best job of yours work. Amazing restoration and good RC conversion.
I bet the people at Tonka never thought that their toys could be modified to operate with R/C equipment. Looks real nice.
I'm sure old Duke enjoys 'driving' his new ride around your property.
Very nice ride there !
Your videos are more awesome everytime. 👍
Great job, time well spent. Keep supplying us with great videos.👌
Thanks, will do!
Simply awesome!!!
Superb restoration and project !😁🇨🇦
I had this one growing up.
Cool man! Super conversion and nice paintjob!
I lost it at station when the cheering went off.
Your skills know no bounds, awesome job there converting from push drive to electric drive. I really don’t have anything else to say, you are brilliant what more can I say. Cheers mate.
Thanks 👍
I had a red one of these trucks as a kid, my brother had one too in blue. We played so much with those trucks.
Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
There’s something satisfying about sand or media blasting a rusty piece of metal back to like new! Awesome mod there. Only complaint I got I’d have left the interior tan as it would have really made the truck pop!
What a machine!
