First: a personal note to explain why this MOC exists: This film was my early childhood: Twister (1996) was a film I watched everyday from age 3 to age ~6, and I could quote the entire film by heart by age 5, as attested by my parents on multiple occasions. Twister fell by the wayside once Thomas and the Magic Railroad was released to home video in 2001 or so.... which is probably a more kid-friendly than Twister is! I still love this film, and wanted to make my own model of one of the vehicles from the movie for many years. Thus, the first time I set eyes on the red truck from LEGO Ideas set 21354 The Cullen House, I wanted to make it into the yellow truck from the Twister - and now, eight months after the set was released, I have!

I modified it to have the lightbar and bracing of the Jeep Honcho from the film, and of course the Dorothy 1 probe was also a must. The bed of the truck has also been heavily modified from the original set to better model the actual truck from the film.

The rear of the truck with Dorothy 1 unloaded and ready for deployment. NOTE: Dorothy's design comes from this Rebrickable MOC's version of the probe.
