Overlanding Stories, WTFs, OMGs and WOWs

[1derer]

Reading some different threads it seems that most people have some amazing stories, close calls and things that just make you say.... wow. I wanted to hear more who else has one of these amazing incidents?

I guess I have had an uneventful path and honestly don't have anything outrageous, dangerous or just down right wtf to share.

Not specifically overlanding, but I'll leave these right here. I just wish I'd gotten a picture from the side to show how steep the slope was already. I did roll right out of it, but the 2 MX kids upslope from me were freaking out a little bit.

That's a good one I am sure it showed a new way to hold on to the driver seat!

You should have changed the oil while you were there.

Back when my (ex) 06 LJ Rubicon was new and I was green at wheeling my three sons and I went to an off-road park in northern Florida. It was a very loose and very steep 50 foot climb. I was in 4low as we reached the top the wheels started slipping and our center of gravity changed. We could feel the Jeep wanting to fall backwards front over rear. Luckily the Jeep came with factory air lockers, I hit the switch for the front locker and the second wheel was able to gain enough traction to take us over the top. The consensus after the scare was "Thank God for Lockers!"
