@@Dhess I do, its a '23 DCLB. I was hesitant to take the truck on the beach last summer due to it not having the MTS and crawl control. Seems like these are more than capable of handling the sand if driven properly with the right settings.
@@iamshevanel Yes once I got the settings down I was very happy with the performance on the beach. I’ve talked to a ton of people on the beach with these trucks and they have no idea what i’m talking about when I tell them how to change the traction control settings lol
Nice content Dhess! Best 4WD (sand) tutorial out there. Might I suggest a series on other tough spots? I haven’t turned off my stability control or traction control in any of my situations yet, but man that makes a lot of sense!
Glad I could help clear some things up for you! once you have these settings on the gear choice is going to be your next decision depending on the terrain
Just air down to 15 psi or less. I forgot to put my truck in 4wd and never noticed until I had to turn sharply. It has happened several times. My first mod was taking my onboard air compressor out of my old truck and putting it in the new one in the parking lot at the dealership. I got rid of my home compressor because it was heavy and not easy to move. The ARB compressor has never failed me when others have a short duty cycle and shut down or get hot enough to melt wits and hoses. I air up and down 2 tires at a time. I am setup for 4 at a time but it is not easy alone.
4 high is the best for sand. Just drove a 2003 tacoma 4x4 double cab for 19 years never no problems then I wrecked it. Just bought a 2021 4x4 tacoma sport haven't got to try it out yet.
Does this work with all trucks that aren't top of the line off-road oriented? Like Nissan with their pro-4x? I want to get a truck for camping and maybe get into overlanding but don't know if I need the top trim or mid-grade is fine for pricing
so my truck doesn’t have as good of off-road capability as the trd off-road or trd pro these are more basic settings that most trucks with 4 wheel drive will have
Before my taco I had a frontier 2008 se great truck never had a problem driving on the beach,snow or mud on the beach lower tire pressure to 15 and 4hi never got stuck
I agree it’s hard to do it all myself I reshot the middle part by myself. I just try and make each video a little better thanks for the input though i appreciate the feedback
truck looks great. Glad to see someone with a sport showing how to use 4WD properly on sand TY
Thanks do you also have a sport?

Yea that’s another option. Where did u mount it? I was looking at possibly mounting one in the side of the bed?

same as mine and yea I usually use 4 high
Exactly 4hi, I do lower tires better for the truck and the beach
@@marczlli1649 Yea it deff makes it easier but i’m usually fine without airing down

Auto lsd is pretty good you should try it,you be surprise
I did it cuts the power to the wheels as soon as you get sideways
good video mate better light inside the truck would be better looking

What size wheels and tires you’re running?
Gear Off-road 766b 20x12 -44 295/55 toyo open country iii
Well I have a pro and no crawl control. Sad. I have a locker but that’s it. It’s a manual transmission so nothing special to get me out of a rut
traction boards it is i guess
Manual transmission have trac which works pretty good
@@marczlli1649 yes I agree just no crawl control not sure I would need crawl control.
How many psi are you running on this video ?
36 I don’t usually air down unless it’s real bad out there
U have any spacers?
no spacers. 20x12 -44 offset
The biggest mistake Toyota made was putting traction control in the off raods makes do sense.
I don’t feel like it’s that bad if you know how to turn it off all the way bc most people don’t off-road more than regular street driving
