From back in the day when there was no equipment, so people had to develop skills instead of buying their way over obstacles. I know, that sounds rich coming from a guy who's first Jeep came with a 4:1 transfer case and lockers...but I learned to offroad in a Ford 1-ton with bald tires.

I used to work with an old mud hand who started working in the oilpatch when the standard for mud hand's transportation was a 2WD station wagon and a set of tire chains.
I followed a rainbow out to a garage and found a leprichaun. The rainbow ended in a potted cactus on his porch, but there was no gold :(

How cool was that. I wonder if those things had a spool in the back. ;)

Too bad most oil wells in Canada don't kick like that one did.

I did a Google search for "hot trannies" but nothing came up about oil coolers  :o

Worrying too much about mpg with a Jeep is similar to worrying about your sister's virginity. An ok thing to be concerned about but...

i like how they just roll it back on its tires and no body damage. They also were smart enough to have the windows rolled down too.

Nice to have the doors and roof strong enough to not require a roll cage.
