the funny thing is that the tree was not that big of a tree it was just right on top of the rut and one slip something will hit the tree, thats what exactly happen to me my tires slipped and drop into the rut and my door came in contact with the tree.
we were doing the gultch the opposite way. i think motordrive and bz were with me. one of the turns led us to a part where the tree to the left of us came in close contact with our left side. other than being off-camber in that direction, one slip could mean body damage. thankfully, we didnt slip.
