Try to keep your tires on the tallest rocks. Dont go around them, stay on top whenever possible.   :greengrin:

the brake is the skinny peadal on the right lol, just stay calm take it slow plan out your line and only listen to one spotter at a time there are places where there may be 12 different people trying to spot you at the same time and one thing that ive noticed on rare occasions is dont ride the ass of the person infront of you stay back a little bit so you can see what your driving over not just the tailgait of the truck infront of you

Yeah lots of good advice here. Watch trucks in front of you to see how they handle things and adapt it to your vehicle. keep in mind how long your truck is and mind the most important thing is picking a good line. See what works for other trucks and try it out. Get a good feel for your truck before you go assaulting wild obstacles. airing down is especially important, makes a world of difference from 35psi down to 10.

I've been trying out different things such as airing down, and picking lines in the wheelin i am doing... HA, the only thing that really sucks is driving from the place where i wheel to the store to air up the ole tire's :rofl2: ,

And i was lookin at my truck after some wheelin i did a couple of days ago.... ok, admiring the nice new dent on the bed of my clean truck... but i saw i am running 31's, don't know who i made that mistake of tire size, but this is starting to make me worry about ground clearence for the con... guess i will find out..
