My wife does not begin to get nervous until I have one half of the tread width hanging over the cliff.
I have driven up some dirt roads that I was too scared to drive down.
Did you know that with a 1948 Willy's MB you can use the front differential to crack open 16 inch diameter granite boulders? You have to get the front of the jeep a couple of feet in the air to make the drop hard enough to crack the rock.
I have never crossed a creek/never deeper than 3 feet. Yet.
I am not quite done with the good old days.
4WD is also useful for pulling trees and bushes out of the ground around the house.
