What's amazing here is that we drove the truck home the next day after a whole bunch of fluid changes.Thomas Weeth, via 4wheeloffroad.com

1978 Ford F150 Torn Up
Pull Points
Here's a pic of my '78 F-150. This is what happens when 3,000 pounds of truck meets more than 3 feet of mud and water. And then an F-250 snatches your front clip half off.

Big Problems
We strayed off the roadway a little too far. An hour and a half later with the help of an extra 637E and a D6R, we were back to work.

Another Victim
The Gov-Bomb strikes again! This is what happens when you run 35-inch tires with a GM 10-bolt that has a Gov-Loc. Kaboom! This is the aftermath of the diff breaking in my K5.

Jeep Cherokee Straight Up Crash
Showoff
I had a little incident on Carnage Canyon. We took the wrong line coming down Fireman's Hill and rested it on the nose. We actually started to go over, smacked the tree (denting the roof), and came to balance as you see it sitting here. No trick photography, either. Quite a ride, I must say!

Buggered S-10
A buddy and I were out wheelin' at a local creek when we found this innocent-looking mud hole. I gave it a shot, but as you can tell, looks can be deceiving. There was no bottom to this hole that we could find.

Submersible
This is what happens when you don't block your wheels when parked on a hill beside a lake. It took one winch, a 3-ton chain hoist, a little bit of elbow grease, and two hours to get it out. I had her running two days later.

Scrap metal
Here's what's left of my '68 Jeep Gladiator after a fun day (well, almost fun) in the Oregon dunes. Got a little too close to the edge. Buick 350, TH400, NP203 Dana 44 front, 70 rear, 4.10s, 16 inches of lift, TSL 44-18.5-15s. Anything I would change? Yeah, the cab.

Jacked-Up Timberjack
Just another day logging a swamp in Lily, Wisconsin. Those are 5 1/2-foot-tall, 30-inch-wide tires that are buried. It wasn't bad until we hit some ruts. Five broken chains and six hours later, we were back to gettin' 'er done.

4X4 Car Upside Down Crash
One Less Trar
Some friends and I were out climbing some pits when, to my surprise, the other side of the pit had been dug out. Didn't see it...never had time to stop. Straight down I went and slammed her on her roof. There was a little damage but I managed to pry the roof up enough to drive her home.
