My Frontier isn't worthy. Haha. A general 4wd thread would die here without the Jeep owners.

I know there are others with something other than a Jeep but my Frontier is pretty meh. Bone stock with some trail stripes and a few dents.
I broke my front axle tube in Chinaman Gulch last weekend.

I had a lot of help and luckily got it out to the trailhead the next day.

How'd you do that?
Going up the wall after the steps we heard loud pop. We took a quick look and didn't see anything broken. I made it up the wall and further down the trail. The steering started feeling weird and then a grinding noise started. I stopped and found the break.
We made a trail repair there and made it to the end of the loop in the dark. I left my Jeep there overnight. We came back the next day, made a better repair and luckily made it out.

Some pretty cool Jeeps in this thread with familiar faces.
I do my own stunts....

I've been watching a lot of 4wheeling videos recently, and I see that whenever people are going up a V-Notch, they always put one side in the bottom of the notch, instead of straddling the notch. I never understood why people do that. Is there a technical reason, or is it just a matter of picking a difficult line to see what your truck can do?
EDIT: After a brief search I found a perfect example of what I'm talking about. I always figured some careful placement and smooth pedal work would make it possible to straddle a notch, even with them usually being muddy.

They lack driving skills.
