Your best bet would be a 4x4 pickup truck with a 4-Low transfer case. That'll be slow but it'll move. Then as mentioned traction is the biggest factor so load up that pickup bed with weight to give...

Better than twin-screw tandems for offroading would be 4WD with power sent to the front axle as well as the rear drive axle. Dual drive axles paired close together don't actually increase off-road...
