Does it have CDL? Thanks for changing your avatar Spike. I've felt so cold recently when reading your posts.

Yes it does, it is 8 wheel drive with a HI-LOW t-case and locking diffs.
When fully loaded it weighs 100,000lbs. Empty around 35,000. It has a Allison 4 speed sutomatic and a Cummins turbo diesel. It is slow, and doesnt stop for anything. BUT...I GET PAID TO DRIVE OFF ROAD!!! How cool is that??
