I'm surprised no one has mentioned airing down their tires when in the sand.

Since I have learned about doing so, it has gotten me out of sand,mud and
snow a number of times, in my 2wd kombi and my syncro.  Worst thing to do
in the sand too seems to be spinning your tires. . . ease up a bit on the
gas.

There are local mud drags this weekend (Manitoulin Island Ontario Canada).
I am thinking of entering the syncro. . . no really I mean it.  Word has it
that there is no competition in the 4-cyl class.  If I make it down the
run, I win.  There may be a few others in my class, but the way they turned
out last year, I'll probably have 'em beat.

The more I do with the syncro, the more I am surprised.  Couple weeks back
my brother in law wanted to try out his new dodge dakota 4wd (V-8 magnum).
I still only had my old worn snow tires on it and I went everywhere and
more he did.  Finally got a set of BFG AT's and love them so far.  Haven't
had them in deep mud yet, any one had any experience with them in the mud?
