My wife has taken up with an old dried river bed in our area.

Should have said

Anyone have good advice to protect axles when navigating these type surfaces (I've been going extremely easy)? I know we have many pro's on here, so advice is welcome with spring time just around the corner. K. A buddy spotting on sharp rock.

 

tires aired up to maybe 5 lbs under upper limit psi, and check the axle fluid bout all I can think of myself

 

I'm not really understanding your question....."my wife has taken up with an old dried riverbed".....wtf?

 

If your worried about the diff they make diff shields and thicker covers to protect the diff from rock impacts

 

Don't bottom out on the transmission pan!

 

Thanks all. Differential covers, axles, tranny pans, reduced air pressure and axle fluid...........those things that one should guard for when traveling off road, on uneven rock surfaces. My wife likes to look for signs of early american life (arrow heads) and geology (fossils).

"Taken up", is a figure of speech from Caddo parish, (my bad). K.

Thanks again
