Never saw them mounted on the Jeeps though....that would have been overkill.

The one I gave Bob was the same colour as the one you posted and was on a Fire truck..I was following it up the hanger line when we crossed a strip of bumpy grass and it fell off the truck..I was following it in a CE yellow peril half ton when it fell off I stopped and picked it up and when I caught up they told me to keep it..
they had lots of them..So I did.
Bob could post a picture and give the details and weight off it..I believe it was over 25 pounds..
Not purple..BLUE..
