If your REALLY gonna be the spotter, then the most important thing is to make sure that the trucks underside dosen't hit anywhere, in other words, make blackdog climbs the hi stuff, so his suspension and drivetrain doesn't get caught up on rocks or branches! If your "feeling out" a mud hole, ALWAYS add at least 8" to whatever depth you feel with a stick! Believe me 8" MINIMUM!

    That help at all? :driving:

Yeah on rocks visualize where the truck will go...and what will be under what...that way you dont stab the gas tank or something...and on mud ( i love mud :love: ) do feel it out throw rocks and probe it with sticks...what I have used b4 is a stick with a rope tied to it and a rock at the other end (kinda like a fishing pole with line and weight) Hope that helps girl :cheer:

We've been together for 2 1/2 years.  So far I have done pretty good, hopefully I will keep doing that. :thumbs:  She knows I  :love:  her, mostly cause i tell her everyday.  I have to admit, she has put up with a lot of my crap over the 2 years we have been together, my stupidity and bad habits :doh:
I'm sure at times she has felt like  :kickbutt: but yet she still keeps me around.

I  :love: my spotter

One of the things that I had to keep reminding my self when I first started spotting my dad.  Keep an eye on the rear diff, just cuase you got the front up and over doesnt mean you arent going to come to a sudden stop when the rear axle catches up.

blackdog, you should keep tell her to keep the accord and just buy like a early 80s yota... ive been seeing them go for less than 1000 here in the sacramento area....when you gonna start the SAS>?   I could make the hangers for you and some other stuff so save your money and just bring a box of pizza and some beer and lets go wrenching so you could go crawling....  :hahaha:   Keep the accord for the daily driver....

Make sure he doesn't hit both of his differentials.  Make sure he doesn't roll.  Make sure he doesn't hit any trees.  some basics.

Once you get a feeling for how wide the axles are, you'll be able to visualize where the tires will go on the obstacle.  The idea is to keep the vehicle as level as possible and on the higher spots to keep diffs, tcases, etc. from getting hung up on the rocks.  HTH,
