Saw this pic on FB (In this album ).. Is this just a HEMTT with an additional axle in the back, or is this something different?

Thanks for the replies and links, guys! And I agree with you, Mike.. I find that recovery vehicles make very interesting builds.. but unfortunately they're not what the mainstream wants
