I'm new to wheeling and I'd like to know how to avoid getting your jeep stuck right under the middle of your jeep. I think it's called high centering? Is it? Idk. I guess what I'm asking is how to climb over boulders, tree logs,snow banks things like that with out getting stuck right about where you're at the top? Is there a special way to approach it?

 

i dont know for sure about techniques for approach angles... but i can say... lift it!!! you will have major clearance.

 

Well, approach angles play a big part. If it looks bad, don't attempt it that way! I haven't had much experienced with being high centered. I guess some of it depends on the stance of your jeep?

 

Stay on the road !!!

 

Make sure you run over the boulders with you tires and learn where your lowest points are. (front and rear diff's)

 

Hahaha....You beat me to it! Just by reading the title I was thinking that. Hahaha

 

As JohnnyB said, definitely approach at an angle. I like to use my passenger side front to climb first, it probably doesn't even matter

 

Don't do this.

 

If you are going to stay on the road, why buy a Jeep?

 

....Stay on the couch...wait then your ass my get stuck in the cushions.. J/K

All joking aside this is a very subjective question isnt it? There are so many factors and variables...best bet always go with a group or a friend who can pull you out if need be. And also have recovery gear and know how to use it.
