Same track width can mean similar tire placement, but body/cab width can still make clearance worse in tight areas.","simplifiedExplanation":"This is about how far apart the wheels are on the left and right sides.

On off-road trails, it’s especially challenging because traction and clearance are limited at the same time.","simplifiedExplanation":"An S turn is when the trail forces you to steer one way, then quickly back the other way. Off-road S turns are tough because you have to keep control while also avoiding rocks and keeping clearance.","sourceStartTime":4608.0,"sourceEndTime":4612.4}},{"id":495382,"startTime":4652.2,"endTime":4661.6,"type":"term","title":"rear ARB","url":"/glossary/rear-arb","quote":"The rear ARB stopped leaking.
