Hi Jester 0064

Your dead on about tire pressure.. 10 or 12 is fine...my ole 89 Amigo liked it like that..but the VX has more power by a long shot..she'll run good with stock pressures real well

I have those Nitto's and havn't run them on the sand yet..but I know they'll be better by a long ways..those skinny old stock one's wern't built for htat sandy stuff..

Now as for the TOD..when you shift into compound low you effectively "lock up" the system..and she acts like any other 4wd. To confirm this for yourself watch the TOD readout on the dash and drop it down into compound low 4wd.

Have fun
