Prerunner on sand tips?

Maybe if you are going slow but you want to go fast in the sand and if your fronts don't have any part in moving the vehicle you want them skinny as possible to cut through the sand

 

i dont even bother doing the fronts..if it makes a difference it would be so slight...i hate being a prerunner

 

Oh, were you agreeing with me

 

So you guys are taking a compressor to air up on the way out?

 

air down and keep your momentum up. i have a 2wd open diff and i go out to dumont and glamis every year and i havent got stuck yet.

... and yes, it does help to air down all four

 

my lsd is just like a open diff...

 

i usually take one, but some people i go with just drive slow on the road untill the nearest gas station where they can fill up

 

yea, lsd sucks offroad. lockers are the way to go

 

seriously..i had one wheel of the ground and one on the ground..and the one in the air just spun and spun other one didnt even budge

 

I would use the auto lsd feature of your truck, it may help. When you come to a stop just let off the gas and let the truck roll to a stop if you can, that way you don't dig into the sand. Have fun!

 

You don't know what you're talking about

Always air down all four tires trust me I've done tons of sand and silt driving

12psi for the rears and 15psi for the fronts


EDIT: BTW I've done 75mph with this set up

"cutting through sand" = anchors

 

u will be fine just dont stop or go slow when entering soft sand you will sink. I usually floor it and make sure i have plenty of speed

 

well said!

 

Get rid of the lsd and get a e-locker or arb locker. Limited slips suck. Jmho

 

How about the lsd? On or off?

 

I plan to get a locker in the future. How much are you guys spending with installation on the lockers?

 

IMO- dont do it. Think of how bad this could be with stock tires and no help from the front. Better have a 4x4 behind you!

 

I will be having a 4x4 behind me just in case

 

Good thread. Ill be taking my PreRunner down to pismo in a couple weeks for the second time. First time aired down to 18 in the back and 20 in the front. Not the best :-/ this time ill be airing down to 8-10 rear 13 front and ill let you know how it goes.
