    I'm pretty sure he understands your accent just fine, its the condescending way you type he and others (including myself) have a problem with. Just sayin.

    1) I was not trying to be be condensending, so if any of you took it that way, I apologize. I am just here for friendly exchange of facts and details on our trucks and to have some fun off roading.

    2) After I put a lot into explaining how good Toyota's A-TRAC and other traction control systems work, it was some of YOU who couldn't wait to put that system down and place an aftermarket product into the conversation. Start your own ARB locker thread if you want, but don't put down Toyota A-TRAC if you don't even own it or have used it.

    3) Back to the subject of this thread... Beach driving... Here is a Carolina video that shows deflating works on their beaches (as well as it works on Baja's beaches):

    i've wheeled at oregon inlet and carova beaches in corolla nc and never aired down. my tires are wider than stock so that helps and our toyotas are a lot lighter than these fullsize trucks.

    i've found that 4low can get you outta most situations and driver's skill does have a lot to do with negotiating beach driving. hope I didn't jynx myself for next time i go out...HA
