    Rock crawling is an extreme form of off-road driving that involves carefully navigating highly modified vehicles over rugged terrain and obstacles. Drivers precisely pilot trucks, Jeeps, and specialized buggies low and slow over boulders, mountains, and rock piles. Competitions involve obstacle courses up to 200 yards long with gates like ski slopes. Vehicles are customized with features like lockers, armor, and low gearing to generate torque and safely overcome challenges appearing impassable. Popular rock crawling locations are Moab, Utah, Cortez, Colorado and Colorado Springs, Colorado, which offer trails and events at free or low costs.

    Rock Crawling!

    Rock crawling is an extreme form of off road driving


    using vehicles anywhere from stock to highly
    modified to overcome obstacles. In rock crawling,
    drivers drive highly modified four-wheel-drive
    vehicles such as trucks, Jeeps, and "buggies" over very
    harsh terrain. Driving locations include boulders,
    mountain foothills, rock piles, mountain trails, etc.
    Rock climbing is about slow-speed, careful and
    precise driving, and high torque generated through
    large gear reductions in the vehicles drivetrain. Rock
    crawlers often drive up, down and across obstacles that would appear impassable. Such vehicles to rock climb
    are primarily 4x4s.
    Rock crawling competitions range from local events to national series. A rock crawling competition consists of
    obstacle courses that are about 100-200 yards long. Each obstacle is set up with gates, similar to a ski course.
    The Vehicles
    Vehicles are outfitted with custom parts. Power is usually not an issue, as rock crawlers typically lower their
    gear ratios in order to drive more slowly over obstacles without stalling the engine.
    Vehicles Commonly Used Custom parts can include:
    Jeep and varients  Locking differentials
    Lada Niva  Taller off-road tires
    BAW  Upgraded suspension
    Nissan Patrol  Four wheel steering
    Toyota Hilux  Roll cage
    Toyota Land Cruiser
     Engine increased torque
    Land Rover
     Lowered gearing
    Mercedes-Benz G-Class
     Winches
    Santana PS10
     Body armor
    Ford Bronco
    Suzuki Samurai  Portal axles
