Used in Antartica, can you name it?

While trolling the internet for a completely unrelated item I happened upon three pics of this very interesting off-road vehicle used by the U.S. Navy to transport goods from the supply ship to the storage buildings. Anyone want to hazard a guess as to the make and model of this truck?

Chimo! Derek.

Andrew, you did very well to remember Teracruzer. You may pick up your prize of a cold frosty adult beverage next time you're passing through Texas.
