Driving On Rocks
General Knowledge
| 1. | Know how much clearance you have and your vehicle's vulnerable spots. A vehicle with 6" of ground clearance is not going over an 8" rock. |
| 2. | Use low range 4WD, put transmission in low gear, and crawl. The ideal speed for rock crawling is 1 to 3 MPH. |
| 3. | Put a tire on the rock, never straddle a big rock. If you hear metal and granite scraping, don't panic. This is usually just a rock rubbing against the frame or skid plate. |
| 4. | On really bad areas, have someone spot for you, then you spot for them. |
| 5. | Air down your tires to between 10 -15 lbs. before you get to tough trails. |
