The biggest improvement for sand is in tires. I have 215/75/15 tires and
I deflate them when I get off pavement and am headed for sand. I let 10
psi out for starters. If the going gets bad I let another 10 psi out.

I have also changed the gearing of the tranny and front diff to
compensate for the larger tires. Stock was 4.86 and I now have 5.43,
resulting in about the same gearing with the larger tires as before with
stock tires.

Lastly, I have added a driveshaft decoupler for selectable 2/4wd and am
running an aggressive VC.
