He drove over a subterranean stream, and the ground gave out and the truck fell in. He lives in permafrost country and it's how it is. Also he had better than a winch, he had another large truck and a giant bucket to yank on him, resulting in broken tow straps. Only way to avoid such...

Ouch, hopefully you don't have to walk an ex in too far. Take photos!!

Yikes!! The wrecker or a HET. Hopefully your not too far out in the boonies.

For 99.9% of what the military uses the LMTV for it does not need a locker. It's a non combat supply truck for moving people and supplies in the rear. If it gets stuck they call for a wrecker. And when operating forward they have tow vehicles in convoy and the truck pre rigged to be towed...

Sounds like you have a project ;-) I'd buy one
