Trust the spotter

Here is a video clip of a 'brand spanking' new 4Runner newbie 'trusting' his gut and not the spotter.

Could have gone worse, and with any luck he learned a thing or two about trusting the spotter.

On the Hell's Gate obstacle in Moab I actually stopped and questioned the spotter because what he was asking me to do felt exactly the opposite of what I thought I should do. He calmly repeated his instructions, which I then did, and went up without lifting a wheel.

If you're not going to trust your spotter, you might as well tell him to step aside and go it on your own...

i never undrestood why people take rookies or newbies to spots where they could very well screw up. pretty irresponsible.

I didn't think they could make the 4runner any uglier. Apparently I was wrong. lol

Nonsense. How else do they learn?

On second look that is one butt ugly mofo front end, which you can't see over- great for offroading in the mall parking lot

It crazy what your head does. On Ochi, you have this terrific huge drop on one side and some off-camber. And I know that you don't turn up hill on off-camber.

My spotter continually pointed my tires down hill as I kept creeping them up slope as I went along.

That guy is lucky!
