Loose soil can complicate the matter, but rock
crawling should be slow.
BTM is used to apply traction to lift the vehicle over the obstacle, sometimes in loose soil some slip is required, but when you get to the larger rocks, don't hit them going fast.
a. It's self defeating
b. It's gonna break sh!t
The locker should be used while going
slowly and in combination with BTM.
BTM is a balance between brake and throttle, you want to get your RPM's up to have torque available for climbing and the brake is used to balance that torque with the traction from the tires. When the technique is used properly it works very well on the Hummers. With a little practice, you can get good at it. Your H3 can go anywhere an IFS Toyota can go.
The driver and his skill level is a
large part of the off road equation.
Good Luck, good to see you guys wheeling Hummers over there!
