    I actually really like the handling of the VX in the sand. I rarely have to take it out of 4H/TOD to drive through some of the deepest stuff out there, although the TOD display lights up like a Christmas tree when you use it. I only use 4L when crossing really deep ruts.

    The VX handled awesome, never even threatened to get stuck that whole day. Unfortunately apparently the CV's felt they were not up to the task.

    Is there an easy/simple way to determine myself if indeed my CV's are failing? I knew that sound just didnt belong.

    look at them... if the boots are cracked and leaking grease then they are shot...

    if there is no grease around the boots, then it was probably tire rub.
