How To Properly Drive a Trail
I've been trying to figure out the ideal driving style when going down trails...i'm very new to off-roading and have little experience.
the only trail i've driven is silverado canyon/maple springs road in socal...it's really rocky (small rocks) and very bumpy and dusty...
some people have advised me to drive the trail slow and steady...i drove in this manner for the majority of the times i've been on this trail (only twice)...the thing with driving slow and steady is that i seem to feel every bump and rock and dip...
others have said that if i bring the speed up a little bit it wont be as bumpy...but when i did go faster the vehicle seemed to be shaking a lot more and the ride got even more bumpy...it also felt like it was a lot harder on the vehicle than just going slow and steady.
experienced drivers please share your ideas and comments...thanks!
p.s. i've thought about getting new struts and springs for the cruiser...am stuck between all-pro and demello...i know that one is digressive and the other progressive but i don't know what to go with because i don't know the proper technique when off-roading.
