Here's another attempt to reimagine what I've always thought of as a silly design - even by the usually oddball standards of G.I.Joe. It doesn't help that I'm admittedly not the biggest fan of the Sarge himself, but his strangely named ride always looked pretty impractical to me.
For the life of me, the most useful function I can imagine for this "Triple T" is a dedicated tractor to tow artillery and other towed hardware that studded the G.I.Joe line in its early and mid period. Initially I thought I would interpret it as an arctic vehicle, since it was white, but I decided to go with light desert tan instead. I've changed the rear to accommodate a small turret and a second crewman, and added some basic protection for the driver, which was sorely lacking in the toy. It is striking to me how these upgrades really change the appearance and feel of the vehicle.

Interesting re-working of one of the stranger early Joe vehicles. Really like the thinking you put into it.
