I've been driving 4x4's, 6x6's, for over 50 years. Sometimes had to use a cat or tractor to pull the 4x4 out of terrain where it was a bit out of its element and driven by someone with less capability than the vehicle. Distinctly noticed that those who complained about the "soft" offroaders as early as the 60's were the ones most likely to use them when it was hotter or colder than heck. Maybe no more power wagons or IH scouts around, but given a choice between a Wrangler Rubicon or LR3 over 99% of those rose colored glasses viewed old timers, I'll take the modern ones. Possibly the one advantage they had is that the skills necessary to paste an engine back together to avoid a looooooong walk were weren't as high as they are in the days of modern fuel injection. Ahh, the good old days of building a freaking fire under your oil pan so you could get "reliable" old betsy to cough a few times before the frozen battery gave you the rest of the good news. |

You also neglected to mention the wonderful frozen bias ply tires. Yep, the good ol days. When single piston master cylinders meant that blown real wheel brake cylinder took all of your brakes.
