What to do when breakover angle just isn't enough?

[HaulingAss]

That would have been a piece of cake. You needed to break left or right (it looks like either would have worked here) right before your front wheels cleared the top.

As it was, all your tires were still in the centers of the ruts, leading to a ground clearance issue. A good strategy when challenged by ground clearance, whether it's due to approach, departure or breakover issues is to pick a line that keeps the tires on the higher points of the terrain.

I'd say stay on the crowns. That's how I do it without clearance.

There's also the impromptu road maintenance method.

Haha... high center! Been there done that in my Jeep. It's a part of offroading and it happens to even 2-door short Jeeps. Thats why us Jeepers have a winch
