Post your trail mishaps, doh's, breakage, and oops.
Ok here is two in one lol. Thats me holding my left rear coil spring after chasing it down the side of a mountain. About 30 mins later and use of multiple jacks got the spring back in there and kept on trailing. The dent in the bumper is also trail related, who puts a gate in the middle of nowhere, 5,000 ft up the side of a mountain closing the rest of the trail? well needless to say i had to back up turn around so after a 50 or so Point turn and a dent in my bumper i got it.

This next pic is me holding my left front fender. There was a lot of dips and articulation on this trail my tire shoved up into the wheel well broke alll the clips holding my fender. The fender sat in my back seat for the remainder of the trail ride till i could get some bolts and zip ties.

Rock + sidewall + hole = flat tire.
Its sure was fun changing out that tire with scorpions and spiders running around everywhere. . . Killed the tire and the rim :(.

Light rain + clay + hill + brakes instead of gas = SLIDEWAYS. Almost rolled. Notice the tire marks on the hill. Lesson learned - Just tapping the gas probably would have kept the rear from coming around. I got real lucky...

The trail was Chinamans Gultch in CO,about 500meters from the end of the trail there is a nasty little rock garden,unless you have 35" tires or bigger with massive flex you are forced to weave between 3 big boulders with a nice little 2.5' drop off.Going up is nothing but coming down is another story,I was alsmost through when my rear diff got hung up and and I turned the wheel to slide off of it and when I applied the gas,ever so gently,all I heard was a load snap and I nearly shot Rock Lizard with grease,it flew about 10'.Never did find any of the balls either.
