How would you rate the VX in sand?

Actually, we don't like mud too much. Performance is there but the altenator is mounted low & suseptable to water/mud damage.

She may not "like" it but she makes it through it just fine, just keep the alt clean lol

A good all terrain tire would be best or the dune grapplers from Nitto are supposed to be good too

The Dune grapplers are great in the sand and very great on road too. They are quiet and give a nice ride. I was running them with 20's(not a lot of sidewall) and a 4.5" lift which made the ride harsh when going over bumps or washboards. It was however fantastic on the road and on soft sand or dirt with some of the best traction I've felt. The 285-55-20's I have look like steam roller wheels.

Ok so it seems that the VX is for sure the ultimate off road machine.....snow, sand, mud, gravel whatever you throw at it it will make it through. Only thing that it cant do it go over water huh?

surf,
Did you come out to Tempe and pick up that Ebony? I went to pull up the ad this morning and it's gone...

Definitely very good, although as Scott said, lowering tire pressure can be very important depending on the grain and depth of the sand. I've driven on beaches where you didn't even have to put it in 4LO, let alone lower the tire pressure. But I've also been places where the ruts were deep enough to require 10 lbs. per tire and 4LO to dig out and/or turn.

The other tip on running in the sand is to try to keep up momentum to stay on top of it. Slow down too much or stop and you'll sink.
