Oh, that's what you are talking about a 2.5 ton 6x6 :-)  I've wanted one
of those for awhile too.  They come in a 5 ton variety too.  I here the
military is phasing out the 2.5 ton model in favor of the 5 because the
5 will do anything and more the 2.5 will do.

I didn't think any of them were actually built by Jeep, but rather AM
General or Kaiser.

I regularly see one or two in the Michigan Auto and RV.  An Illinois
version also exits, ever look at it?  You'll probably have to be outside
Chicago to find it, However.
