Roll Your Tires Over Large Rocks

Do not straddle large
rocks; drive over them,
letting the tire cover
the rock. The tread of
the tire is thicker and
tougher than the sidewall
of the tire and is more
resilient to impact
than underbody
components.

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 degree angle (A) with
the transmission in FIRST (1) and the transfer case
in Four-Wheel-Low Lock and “walk” your vehicle over,
one tire at a time. 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.
