Description
It was 1982. Perhaps early 1983. I had completed my GIJOE collection. There was however something that Hasbro had overlooked. You see two of the products that year had been made without any way to transport them to the battle.
The Hal had a towing system so you could hook it up to the VAMP. The MMS could be hooked up to the MOBAT and you could take off for battle.
However if you wanted to take along the JUMP or the FLAK you had to pretend.

We hauled wood because we had wood stoves for heat. We tossed it in the back of the truck and we also had a trailer. The trailer was beat up but it worked.
I had several General Lee cars that kept getting into wrecks or jumped too hard.
I imagine it was one of those sets of wheels that formed the basis for what the Joes needed desperately;
a trailer to haul all that extra weaponry.
I took a piece of cardboard, string, and some wheels and made a makeshift trailer.
Now the Joes could haul the FLAK and the JUMP and perhaps even the RAM.
I was not an engineer so I doubt the wheels spun freely, I believe they were just taped on.
I have no idea whatever happened to that trailer.
