Yeap, that's the one. Seems like a better design, although with mud and snow pack I doubt the military cares as much; just drive the piss out of it anyways. Sand and loose dirt are about all I'd want in there. I'd bet the way the tire deflects under pressure it would loosen out anything stuck in there.
