Balance

1:Here is one on way Balance is important. More of a Tip then a trick. As I was approching this part. I had to carry atleast one wheel over the gap. Now you can see I get one front tire across. That only lets me have two tires making contact. As I drive up and out of the gap. You can see it level itself off. Well then all I did was Gag it. Full Throttle and stayed in it. Just happen to work out. Kind of a lucky move. But wouldn't have worked with out a well balanced truck.

man that last move there is really sick!!!!11

one thing that hasnt been mentioned involves the use of 4-wheel-steer. When in a ridge like the one above, you can keep opposite corners on the rocks, and "crab walk" down the ridge. This will make the contact points wider than just the width of your truck, and may be used to transcend bigger gaps.

I have several videos online that show several of the techniques mentioned.

This one shows front dig to get on an obstacle and roll-over recovery...

At 1:26 - 1:40 in this one I'm in a steep off-camber situation. As the truck starts to roll I turn into the roll and use throttle to recover.
