I've been forced to back off a couple of times due to more extreme forest roads. Once I tried Lincoln Creek road (east of Aspen CO) to try to camp at Grizzly reservoir. About a mile in it was steep and very rocky. A jeep yes (there were lots of the there) but not my F350 Fx4 with fully loaded Lance 1181.
I was actually towing my Jeep, so it was a tough turn around. Disconnect. Multi-point reverse direction, Reconnect Jeep. YUK.
In general, I've had more problems with overhead branches. Once in AZ, I had to chain saw my way past some low hanging branches. The Forest Service usually doesn't plan for 11'6" clearance.
