Built from a 2001 GI Joe Desert Striker. The rear deck was removed to facilitate a rear passenger area, modified by BCOST74. Several months was put into making this custom to locate the need parts and to obtain the look that i wanted. After several years of trying to find the right camo netting, I discovered that green wrap packing material was the best alternative to real camo netting.
