Not on a trail per say but it was to or from one somewhere outside of Moab. Have since added 1" spacers back into the rear to level things out a little better.

Thanks! She's a work in progress...one of these days I'll get an extended watts link and adjustable shock towers and see just how much she can really flex...

Not too good. Got into a pretty deep water hole that tipped me on a severe angle that swamped the driver's side. The Disco got me out with a bit of effort but died shortly after. Pulled apart the intake, dried every out and she fired right up - no codes. Found a bypass and doubled back to take the shortest route out of the bush and avoid the water hole. Got stuck in the bypass (go figure!) and had winch out. Used an old t-shirt for an air filter and made it home without issue.

Had this same thing happen to my 01, MAP sensor was toast afterwards. Would idle, but had no acceleration.

Always good to have some critical spares … a truck out in the middle of the bush that won't run isn't going anywhere unless something like this comes for you...

Luckily, the other guys from the Ohio LR group followed me back to where l was campling, and l loaded it on the trailer...for it's ride home to Michigan. Shortly afterwards, made a snorkel.

Always nice when good people have your back. Having said that, when I was repairing my rig on the trail, a guy on a dirt bike (the only person I saw all day) stopped to see if I needed help. He had a cottage in the area and gave me his number. He told me to call him if I couldn't get the disco running and he would come out with his rig.
