Funniest off-road incident:

Not with this truck, but pismo last year. It took us a LONG TIME to get a 2wd C10 pickup and HEAVY ASS trailer onto the beach. So I took my old bronco and hooked the trailer up and got a BIG run at it. I get the sand and start bouncing and then look back to see the trailer had fallen off around 30 yards back and I just kept on going. MAN that was great

Worst off-road incident:

Just trying to get offroad has been a hell of an experience.
