Are you talking about the truck in the 3rd pic? or the plump touro chick waiting for you inside cheeky monkeys in the background?

This is something bigger that should have no probs getting either the modified MOG or Frieghtliner out of almost any situation, I think the guys charge out the Mi26 at about $US350,000 per recovery

^^^ Only they would bugger off half way through the recovery and leave you there.

Is this the same truck? I can see windows on the inside view, but can't work out where they are on the outside view? I can't quite reconcile the entry door height either.

Yeah ive seen an email on this rippa.. its a Pop top and the windows show once the top is up.
You have to walk up stairs as entry door is about 1m below the inside floor.. you can see it in the kitchen pic.

I'm Pretty sure they are a 2 stroke supercharged diesel
The ones I used were and they had a top speed of about 90Kms , But what a great machine for this purpose. If you could afford to buy one then you could afford to run it.

gotcha - I can see it now, the top part of the side walls slide up as well exposing the windows. Good design.

Maximises cround clearance without increasing the centre of gravity.......about $16,000 each for a nissan patrol or cruiser can only imagine what they cost on the Mog big $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$4
