Descending

Descending; low range, low gear….however, on slippery terrain there’s always a risk of sliding.  Did you know, if the vehicle starts to lose traction & slides on a steep decline, gentle acceleration can give you back control.

Muddy Ruts

Don’t get stuck in a rut !  Avoid if possible & if not then try to straddle a rut or pack to lessen the depth of rutted ground to increase ground clearance therefore avoid contact or damage to the underneath of the vehicle.

Cross Axle

Loss of traction due to crossed axles, how to avoid them & how to get out of them. Understand what a differential is & why it can be locked on some 4wd’s. There’s no traction control on our vehicles, so think about your route rather than relying on the electronics.
