I hoped you'd ask....
My first Jeep was an '89 Wrangler with a 4 banger, all stock. I was at the Silver Lake Sand Dunes trying to make it up Test HIll
Well, back then the hill was pretty freakin' steep. I couldn't do much better than 1/3 of the way up. I was running street pressure in my tires. Then someone told me to "air down" so, not knowing how much I took my tires down to about 20 psi. Now I was making it up 2/3 of the way. But I just couldn't get it!!! I had my buddy with me and we left for the day.
The next day we were in the parking lot airing down. The guy next to me was talking about airing down and mentioned he goes down to about 15 or so. I thought, well, if 20 got us up 2/3 of the way, this guy goes down to 15 psi, I'll to 12 psi. So, I take the tires down to 12 psi, and I'm lining up at the bottom of Test Hill and getting pumped cuz, dangit, I'm gonna make it! So, I decide to back up a bit to get a better run at it. Then, just like my "more is better" mentality, I backed up to Indiana and floored it. I hit the bottom of the hill in 4th gear running strong! We're running up the dune, we get about 1/2 way up and I look over at my buddy and yell "we're gonna make it!"
Well, by the time I hit the top of the hill I was in low 3rd gear and we got soo much air. We did a lawn dart on the other side of the dune. Everything in the Jeep was sprawled out in front of us for 20 yards and the jeep settled on it's tires. The Jeep was fine, but the frame flexed so much that there were two identical dents on the tops of the fenders where they got kinked.
Man, that was fun!
I was looking for a picture I used to have of a Jeep that was lawn-darted in the sand and came upon these shots of my last CJ. Gratuitous I know, but I'll post them anyway.
Those "almost new mags" look like he found them in the junkyard
I love that bottom picture... you just know it had to be fun to get that dirty.

Yeah, that was a blast! There was this dude in a H1 that thought he was top dog because he had a Hummer. Now don't get me wrong I like the H1, but unlike him, I know it has limitations. He went into a mudhole and didn't make it to the other side. So, I went in the mud hole, went by his passenger side and exited the other side of the hole. Once there I tossed him my strap. Him taking that strap from my Jeep was akin to my kissing Hillary Clinton on the cheek and telling her I appreciate her hard work.
Now truth be told, I barely made it through that hole and he wasn't very stuck but a win is a win right?
My Jeep was an 86 with a stock 4.2L, T-176 4 speed, dana 44's front and rear, 4.10:1 gears with Detroit lockers front and rear. The requisite lift to clear the tires, front shackle reversal and so on. I should have NEVER sold that Jeep.
