That dark green Rover uses for their off road vehicles would look great on one of these for GI Joe!

This is an awesome project, looking forward to your results!

Looks like Suzuki Samurai for Joe! Cool!

Thread revival: just scored one of these on ebay Left side decal looks like he had a collision. Right side decal looks great. I don't see any rust, and it looks like it's in great shape overall! Luggage rack on rear is cool, but not sure how I'm going to use it yet. I have no spare tire or Jack. This is a cool GI Joe peace. I'm surprised I didn't know about it sooner!

Original plan was to paint this yellow and make it an adventure team vehicle. It is in such good shape that I don't think I will do that anymore. It's pretty cool the way it is!

I agree, looks to be in great shape!

This is very interesting--I didn't even know Tonka did 1/6 scale.

I'm glad you're going to keep it original ATC, that is a great specimen of a Tonka Bronco! It's in great shape. When I have time to dig out my Tonka's, I will get photos. The one I got the decals were only half there,
so I removed them. Otherwise it's in the shape I got it in, with the original paint. My plan was to use it as an adversary vehicle. It has scrapes and scratches where rust is showing, kinda like an old work truck. I thought
it would be good as an old vehicle used for battle, which I'm sure it has seen.

Nice that Joe has a a safe divided highway to cruise on! Big rocks though. Someone should bulldoze that! Maybe Tonka can help.

That's a right-of-way through the cornfield. We have such things here in the Midwest... And it does make a cool GI Joe road!

I picked up a spare tire on eBay, and used a Soldiers of the World jerry can to fill the cargo rack on the Tonka Bronco.


I had to modify the Jerry can to make it fit the Tonka cargo rack.



Now it fits great!
