Pics of Your FJ in Tippy/Scary/Tricky/Perilous Situations!!

I wanted to start a thread where you guys post pictures of your rigs when they get in "not so good" situations!! And it doesn't matter whether you made it out unscathed, or ended up losing a mirror or whatever, just post up your pics here!!

Here's pictures of my FJ this last weekend when I got in a bit of a tricky situation. What happened was I started driving up this road and then my rear slide off to the right and didn't want to get back straight on the road. It was a bit of a pickle cuz I didn't know how to get out of the situation! I could've attempted cranking the wheel to the right and backing down the hill as straight as I could but it was a bit of a steep drop and I didn't want to risk tipping or flipping my FJ. And every time I drove forward my rear end still kept slipping off. Eventually though, the group I was with returned and winched me forward until my rear tires got back into the ruts in the snow.

I was a dumbarss and tried to cut across and never checked the depth. Once passenger tire was in the whole side slid in. It was quite wet inside.

Doh! That's a good pic. Glad she didn't go balls deep in the waterin' hole and for a swim in the deep end!

Re: Pics of Your FJ in Tippy/Scary/Tricky/Perilous Situations!!

Here's my dumba$$. This was about 4 years ago at the entrance of the Noonday trail. Friggin easy trail that I have ran many times, but this October day I was running late. Once I showed everyone started up the trail which left me with a decision I will never make again. I didn't air down. It appeared dry out until we got into the trees and everything had a layer of mist on it. I started with my passenger side about 18" to 24" inches from the right hand bank, a good size rock gave way and I promplty started sliding towards the cliff. The same rock that broke free got lodged next to a fallen tree (that you cannot see) and stopped me from going all the way over and about 30 feet down a steep embankment. I feel lucky everyday.
