Just started on the trails and had a slow flop on the first obstacle at Dishpan Springs. Not a big deal but after up-righting it, it did hydro-lock. Fixed that and smoked for about 30 minutes but other than that had a great time. John Bull had a bit of snow on it but the gatekeeper was nearly non-existent.
Small mishap on Dishpan Springs

I thought someone might ask about that. My recovery gear was in the back and with the position I was in I had to go in and out to get what I needed. The door was a PITA so I removed it until it was back on its wheels.
BTW, I had very little damage. I had a dent in the door (pounded out the next day), cracked some plastic on the side mirror, a couple of small rips on the top, and small damage upper door skin. Looking at it now you wouldn't even know it had flopped.

Know the damage sucks... But too cool man.. Like bob ross said " theres no mistakes, just happy little accidents" you know that layed back dude was a nam combat vet...
I know the angle of the flop doesn't look bad so here's another showing the terrain. I had a bad line and backed down over the rock on the left which tipped me over. The next pic is the damaged door and the last is after it was fixed. Painting with bedliner makes it pretty easy. I replaced the mirror with another that I had. That's really the extent of the damage. I purposely built the sliders to extend out quite a bit to help protect the doors. Not really meant for a flop but they did their job.
No much hurt at all considering... May have too get the California clay bar out.lol.. Man ur narley dude!
