Rock Crawling my Wildtrak -- how to “bump up” on a ledge?

[NOBUKSGIVN]

During the maiden voyage of my newly modified 23wildtrak on a rock crawling type run I found that there is seemingly no way to “bump up” on a ledge. Some folks say hold the brake and then push the throttle to get it to bump up. There was 0 affects.
don’t get me wrong, once you get going it’s all good but you need to be able to go slow and stop and get that torque going from a stop. Any help would be appreciated

You should attend the "Bronco Off-Rodeo." It's free if you purchased your Bronco new.

Turn off the traction control. Like, completely off by holding down the button for 5 seconds until the display on the dash shows complete.

Airdown your tires...

add the swaybar disconnect from a Badlands like we did to our WT. tied in to the # 1 aux switch..made a big difference.

If this is addressed in the Bronco class, why not just share the information? By the time my schedule allowed for my being able to attend my invitation expired. As a result-I won’t be attending.

He was aired down. 15 psi, I believe. I was at 10-12 and struggling on the same obstacle. Bumping it would’ve been perfect and I’m also wondering why my bronco doesn’t allow me to hold the brake and throttle up like my Jeeps would.

That’s it?!?! I pushed it for a moment in 4L and instead of the “loading bar”(?) showing it’s going to disable TC/ABS after holding it down for the appropriate amount of time, I got a notification that everything was already off. So I didn’t bother holding it down.

I didn't go...I learned offroading at the USMC HMMWV course...their tactics are more Smash & Gas than finesse, which is great when you're not the one paying for repairs.

Holy shit.

Holy shit.

I know, that's why i advised him to go to the Off-Rodeo.

Without a picture of the ledge it’s impossible to tell. Might be a moab bump, or momentum (just rolling through it), or lockers, or coming at the ledge with a slight angle, or a different line, or something else.
It’s hard to describe how to do a technique, and generally ineffective as compared to practice. That’s why the off-roadeo was suggested. If you want to off-road you should really make time for it. You’ll learn a lot more than just how to bump.

Doesn’t selecting rock crawl mode disable traction control, engage 4-low and lock the rear locker? I would hope it allows loading throttle with brakes applied also.

Who went to an off roadeo where they taught bump technique? The Texas one a year ago did not...?

Dude that suggested going to off-roadeo hasn’t even been to it
