Don't Forget to Air Down on Sand!

You should disengage traction control. It should help with keeping all tires moving.

I wouldn't disengage traction control until you actually find yourself getting stuck. That's just me.

I agree with this as LR tuned the traction control to work in specific conditions based on the Terrain setting.

As someone who almost exclusively runs in sand (desert in the middle east), I find traction off to yield much better results! Sand driving and dune bashing is all about speed and momentum. Anything interfering and slowing you down, like traction control inducing braking at the wheels is bad news while trying to get up a 30 foot dune made of loose fine grain sand.

The ONLY time I use it is if I am at a complete stand still and trying to crawl my way out of soft loose sand and the wheels have started digging in and I might possibly be getting stuck.

So it is useful then. And works in combination with the TR.

And our sand driving is far from "dune bashing"... Lol!

Sadly. But I'd probably get a dune buggy for that anyway
