Not only the jeep owners. I was camped in that field with a Studebaker US6 and anticipating 'civilised' conditions in Europe had removed the drive shaft to the rear most axle. We only moved a few feet with front and intermediate axles driving before all progress stopped.
Installation of the missing shaft got us going again but did we churn some mud on the way out with the beast barely responding to the helm!
I can quite understand why those swamp racers have very narrow or knife edged, large diameter wheels.
