Here are some picture taken on various trails.  Sometimes the vehicles break down, so better be prepared to do a quick fix to be able to get home again.

 Some common problems are broken axles, and miscellaneous drive train parts that deny service.

  Main trouble on my Jeep is that the front hubs become undone and that spring hangers break.

  A good set of tools, an air compressor and a jumper cable for welding is handy and used frequently with pretty good success.

 Spare parts and tires are required, some things just can't be fixed with bailing wire.
