Jeep Rescue TB.

To travel to caches near Off-road tracks/rights of ways/etc, through-out the world. Really anywhere one would expect to find a Jeep Off-roading, or other 4x4's. Please take pictures on route. This Travel bug is 1 of 4 Jeep TB's I've released, to pay homage to my favorite brand of 4x4.

This is a Bright Orange Matchbox 'Jeep Rescue'.

As its name implies, the Rescue is geared toward aiding the likes of firefighters, park rangers and ski resort personnel. And as its exterior proportions imply, it's a response to GM's Hummer H2. A long 123-inch wheelbase provides plenty of room within the vehicle for supplies and/or injured folks (four of them, anyway, in addition to the driver), while a relatively narrow body and 37-inch tires with run-flat capability allow the Rescue to reach those in need.

A brawny Cummins turbodiesel with 325 horsepower and a staggering 600 pound-feet of torque, along with remote winches, should allow the Rescue to tackle challenging terrain and help extricate vehicles that don't share its off-road prowess. Other features that enable the Rescue to deal with almost any emergency regardless of weather or terrain include point-of-view cameras on the underside of the vehicle that help the driver judge the demands of the terrain, and on-board tire pressure control that allows the driver to adjust the tire pressure for optimal grip while seated inside. A navigation system offers 3-D topographical mapping so that occupants can get an accurate read on the trails ahead. Rounding out the list of technology is an on-board satellite telephone, VHF radio, a digital video recorder with satellite transmission capability and white LEV lighting for long-distance visual searches.

But the Rescue isn't all about serious endeavors. Removable doors and a folding windshield make it a fun-loving adventure vehicle as well.
