Log Crossing
Using the proper technique, your vehicle will cross logs
up to 10 inches (25.4 cm) in diameter. Approach the
log at approximately a 15° angle (A) with the
transmission in FIRST (1) and the transfer case in 4LO
LOCK and “walk” your vehicle over, one tire at a
time. As with all obstacles, face your tires perpendicular
to the object for best traction and tire life. It may be
necessary to modulate your brake pedal and accelerator
to avoid spin-out. Ease the vehicle down from the log
with your brake.
Driving on Off-Road Hills
Off-road driving often takes you up, down or across a
hill. Driving safely on hills requires good judgment
and an understanding of what your vehicle can and
cannot do. There are some hills that simply cannot be
driven, no matter how well built the vehicle.
{
CAUTION:
Many hills are simply too steep for any vehicle.
If you drive up them, you will stall. If you drive
down them, you cannot control your speed. If
you drive across them, you will roll over. You
could be seriously injured or killed. If you have
any doubt about the steepness, do not drive
the hill.
