    I know nothing about driving in sand ......... I live in PA .......... what do I know about sand ...... although we have a few limestone mines - there is something similar to sand around the limestone mines ....... BUT - we do have an abundance of radon - we pretend that is our sand .........
    .
    the first time I rode a bike (motorcycle) in sand, the front tire dug in, knifed under ..... and just bout threw me over the bars ....... WTF !!! ................ but that is a different topic ......
    .
    back in the sand ..... or to the sand ....... again, I don't know squat about sand ...... someone told me that glass is made from sand ........
    .
    but why ........ WHY .........would anyone want to reduce their tire pressure to 10psi ....... unless they desired the tire to roll off the rim and go flat ? ........... the tire contact patch is optimum when it is properly inflated ........ or .... wait ..... is that is a blow up doll ? ........ ??? hmmm ........
    .
    and why ..... WHY ........ would anyone want to DISCONNECT TOD (poor guy TOD - people always talking bout him) when driving in the sand ? ....... TOD is the 4wd mechanism - I would guess you want Mr. TOD's help ............ I would not want to be on the beach with a 2wd Vehicross ........
    .
    ME - ??? - I would pull back that little lever that shifts the transfer case into 4wd lo ......
    .
    you know, the lever that is evidently too much for the soccer moms to be able to handle ........ so the fine people at Borg Warner developed the little switch - the switch on the dash that operates the motor - the motor that actuates the mechanism (fork or whatever) ........ to put the transfer case in lo range ..... the same low range that a simple movement of the lever will accomplish ...............
    .
    Yep ........ I would put that VX in 4wd lo range ...... keep my foot on the gas ...... and never look back ......... who's looking back in the VX anyway - you can't see anything .........
