Been there, scraped that. My wake-up call was a stupidly shallow ditch that somehow caught my rear diff. Everyone talks about approach and departure, but nobody warns you about your breakover angle until you're bellied out on a mild hump. Had to get a buddy to yank me sideways. Measured it later and it was pathetic, way worse than I thought. Now I carry a cheap angle finder in the glove box for quick checks on the trail.

Wait, they actually put the timeshare pitch on paper with numbers and everything? That's wild, they must have had a whole fake spreadsheet ready to go. It's crazy how a few neat columns can make a terrible idea look so solid. I'd probably stare at it and nod along too, to be honest.

So you've got a stuck aperture blade, right? People see a video where someone pokes it with a toothpick to unstick it, because it's cheap and handy. The logic is terrible though, because wood splinters and leaves bits inside the lens. If your aperture is stuck, you need the right tools to clean the old grease off, not jam something in there. That "fix" just guarantees you'll need a full repair later.
