    Oilfields Dodge old school

    So you went out and spent $40k - $70k on a new 4-wheel drive truck and put big off-road tyres on it so you could get to work out in the oilfields.* You could have just bought a 1920's era* 2 wheel drive Dodge sedan!*

    **As this video demonstrates, our roads have come a long way in 94 years.* One must wonder if many of our 4 wheel drive and ATVs could do as well as this old Dodge sedan did.*

    *

    This is* amazing old footage!*

    And all we want are bigger, fatter, taller tyres.
