I want to hear your stories. What's the worst, harshest, crazy thing you have put your 4Runner through, and it's still kicking????

1 lane gravel road, 50mph, came around turn to see a big ford taking up the whole road. Had to go off the road still goin 50, hit a dip and went about 4-5 feet in the air. Stopped and got out to check, every thing was straight.

I drove for 8 hours today on a harsh/rocky/bumpy/narrow mountain road.

Pics to come

I left my house at 4 am to meet a friend at the trailhead of Uncompahgre Peak (East side) and instead of going around the Lake City cutoff which would have taken me less than 2 hours and get me there in time for coffee I decided to go over Engineer pass in the dark. After a couple of hours I realized that I was going to be late. I had aired down and was crawling so I just said screw it and did the rest of the pass in high range like I was racing the baja.
I caught air, slid around turns and bottomed out the suspension a couple of times.
The rig suffered zero damage and no ill effects.
I made it just as he was lacing up his boots to leave having written me off at 7:15 am.

Looks like the 250+ lb bystander could have been more helpful...
