Oh my, you've been a troubled bunch this past year. We might have received some of our very best photos ever in the last several months. It seems that complete lack of forethought is ruling supreme, and we are so very proud of you! Now get back out there and get yourself as stuck as you can (after you finish reading the mag, of course). We need more Whoops photos! E-mail them to us at whoops@4wheeloffroad.com.

He got stuck in some ruts and spun himself deeper, until the carb took in water and killed the motor. That gave us a chance to talk to him and ask why it wasn't 4WD again (ha ha). An FJ40 attempted a pull, a Hummer tried as well, but it was a week-old stock V-10 Super Duty that was able to free him up. After a complete flushing, the Chevy still lives to this day.Edward Knight, via 4wheeloffroad.com ShowoffI 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.

The four other trucks I was with managed to negotiate their way around it, and then came my turn. Being the last truck to go, the only way through was forward. Four hours, one wrecked front bumper, one snapped winch line, another winch line wrecked from fraying, a lot of digging, and a bunch of frustration finally got me out. We still made it back in time for the BBQ as this was Day 3 of the Calgary Nissan and Import 4x4 Jamboree.

I was driving down a paved road late at night when all of a sudden the road changed to dirt and cut a sharp left. As soon I hit the dirt, the truck slid off the road, hit a bank just high enough to catch the undercarriage of the truck, then flipped it. There were six people in it but luckily everyone was OK.Houston Crump, University of AlabamaB-Day Treat This is my '04 GMC 2500HD Duramax Diesel SLT that I flipped and totaled on my Help Please!Hello, I am Sofia B.
