Crossing Obstacles Approach Angle - a Key to Mobility If you encounter a large dip in the terrain, do not enter straight on; enter at an angle - 15° minimum approach (A), 75° maximum approach angle (B). For very large dips, ditches or small washes, coast in, using the engine as a brake (transmission and transfer case lowest gears). Then, use the low ranges in the transmission and transfer case to power out. Roll Your Tires Over Large Rocks Do not straddle large rocks; drive over them, letting the tire cover the rock. The tread of the tire is thicker and tougher than the sidewall of the tire and is more resilient to impact than underbody components. 4-24
