Difference in off road styles.

[Sal-XK]

I found this and though I would show two different styles of wheeling. 1st video of me climbing an obstacle then 2nd a JK doing the same one. We both take different approaches and styles. I take the Slow and steady approach and he takes the skinny pedal approach LOL

I dont see any links or vids.......?

I can see them.

[IamJEEP]

I see them now, don't know what was going on.

That's what I love about the XK... you can climb a difficult spot without going at it full tilt Bozo.

And... that full throttle, tires-doing-35-MPH stuff precedes a LOT of roll-overs and crashes on Youtube. You have absolutely no control with high speed spinning tires and a red-lined engine.

In the couple of turbocharged race Jeeps I've had, that full throttle stuff only works on sand dunes when you're going 60 MPH across them. You can't safely do it on a steep climb full of loose rocks.

I off road by the motto as slow as possible, as fast as necessary

Full throttle method is also a sweet way to snap axles and blow apart gears or carriers.

Thats what I was thinking I've seen plenty off people break stuff by landing a spinning wheel. I just up the skinny pedal on each attempt until I make it or hit my comfort level.

Powerband is at the redline! If it breaks build it stronger.

Probably not the best suggestion for the Commander but it works for a trail rig.

That's what low gears and 4-Low is for... getting into the powerband without your tires spinning 50 mph
