I've run into that as well on the trail. I ran into the same guy on two different trails a few years back. When he saw me the second time, he was really talking up LRs (he's a Jeep guy) and got people excited to watch me do a very difficult obstacle (French Creek on the Holy Cross trail - it was highlighted on an Xtreme 4X4 episode). I was doing real well till I hit the exit of the creek and got stuck bad.

Winched out to clear the trail and get the line moving (it's common trail courtesy around here to make three attempts and if you can't make it, pull winch line and move on). Oh well!
