I am just curious but did the electronic nannies kick in?

My experience with a torsen 4runner is that it takes a lot to get traction control etc to engage...wondering if it was similar

Default question

TIGMD,
For the sand, is a narrow tire or fat tire preferred?
I'm guessing fat but just curious. The tires on most of the stock trucks out in the dunes are more narrow then the 570.
