Sandstorm Survival Adventure (code #7493) was essentially a re-release of 1972's Desert Patrol Adventure with a few changes.

This set includes:

• Green Jeep with AT decal on hood, orange and green tent and poles, pith helmet, black blinker light with yellow lens sticker, knife & black scabbard, orange supply chest with black lid, grey canteen and tan cover, grey mess kit with fork, knife and spoon, black rifle with scope, shovel, pick axe, map & grey case, camouflage poncho, flare gun, orange inflatable life raft, black paddle, white net, green rubber crocodile and instruction sheet.

• NOTE: The Desert Patrol Adventure metal tent poles were change to plastic tent poles for the Sandstorm Survival Adventure set.

• NOTE: The formerly tan desert jeep was replaced with a slightly darker olive drab shade than the original 1965 Official Jeep Combat Set (code# 7000). The headlights are reflective silver stickers rather than the original molded clear plastic lenses. The push rods previously used to secure the tailgate are now plastic tabs molded onto the gate edges. There is no spare tire and the clear plastic windshield glass is also gone.

Oh oh G.I. jOE. The sandstorm is coming and you have no windshield glass in your windshield and they did not provide you with goggles to protect your eyes either.
