Tough doors

Here are a few pictures from a weekend a week ago.

I slid to a rock in a tight place and rear door was pushed in by the rock as you can see from the pictures.

I winched with high-lift the rear sideways using a tree and drove away from it.

I thought that the door would definately have had it, but I escaped with just some minor scratches. The door just retuned back to original shape.

RE: Tough doors

I had the same experience some months ago, only with a tree and a snowy sideways slope. The G keeled over and into the tree at about the same angle as on your pictures. The door aparently got seriously dented, but as I pulled away from the tree, the "dent" just popped back out. Not even a scuff mark on the paint...
