    Looks good. Aired down really does make a difference. I don't think I would want to test the auto 4wd on soft sand. It doesn't take long to get stuck. Remembering to select a mode is important on the beach as it is not easy to get unstuck some times. What beach were you on?

    I hit up Ocean Shores, WA a fee weeks ago and I just kept it in sand mode and it did fine. Just kept momentum and didn't need to air down.

    Yeah, the issue came when you had to U-turn on the storm shortened beach. I chalk up my difficulties to: no air-down, lack of sufficient momentum and needing to make too tight a turn to keep from riding in the wet stuff. Other than the one lil hiccup, she performed admirably!

    Just goes to show, no matter how much you rinse her off, there's always a lil sand left hiding in the skid plates and elsewhere...I found a couple of piles of sand after the rain yesterday!! This is also after the 250 mile trip home, lol!! :cool:
