Oh my... the duce and a halves... harder and harder to come by these days. The military... at least the army... doesnt really use them anymore. They've been practically replaced by 5-tons... looks like the duce but... well... a bit bigger.

Im not sure about its off road capabilities... but i'd stick with a Humvee (hmmwv). If that fails, bring out the 8x8 HEMTT Wreacker and pull it out, if that fails, bring out the M88 Tracked Recovery Vehicle.

Fun stuff. Tracks tend to "Float" on water saturated dirt while trucks tend to make deep ruts.

just a little peice of mind. Just the duce and a half isnt what i call one of the best peices of equipment. It's a manual and is heavy.
