    Rock crawling is an extreme form of off-road driving that involves carefully navigating highly modified vehicles over very difficult terrain such as boulders and rock piles. Drivers precisely maneuver their vehicles, which often have custom parts like lifted suspensions and locking differentials, through obstacle courses 100-200 yards long for competitions. Common vehicles include Jeeps, Toyotas, and Mercedes, and competitions range from local to national levels.

    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.

     Lada Niva
