What's the best trail fix you've ever performed, or have ever seen or heard of?

The best thing to have if you dont have a grill or a bumper or any thing to protect the radiator always carry eggs beacuse (1) eggs in a radiator does work as long as the gash is'nt huge and (2) eggs taste good!!

i like the whole spraying WD 40 in your tire then throwing in a match-it totally works and you get to play with matches!

Triple A has been my best trail fix tip, but note to everyone, they are not supposed to go off highway for more than like 100 yards so if you are WAY off highway bring cash to bribe the guy. I had one guy drive 10 miles into the boonies and he helped roll back over and transport 2 trucks all the way from ocotillo to huntington beach. took him all day  and then some but he still helped which was a plus because we were just going to leave the trucks

that sounds like a story i would tell but on the reservation there is no one to help pull vehicles out so we would have just left them lol.

broke a valve stim one time and used my hi lift jack to break the tire bead to install a new stim.

True dat. A friend of mine bought a set of 42s that he HAD to have on his truck but it was 8 P.M. so he got creative and used his high-lift to swap them out. Good to know that it works but I would have waited till morning lol
