If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Haha, usually ass mode works!

Have you considered trading for a Jeep Grand Cherokee? Preferable with the air suspension and the diesel. ;D

Question is... will they give you enough for the sport. I really want a Jeep GCS but I'm afraid I'll miss the speed of the sho.

I have some experience in sand and usually releasing some tire pressure to about 25 would make a huge difference. The tire would look a bit flat though. Try it and it will work. However, have an air pump ready when you're done cause driving on asphalt with that pressure is extremely dangerous.

If you keep the sport and still get stuck you could try different wheel/tire combo. Maybe a 19" with more sidewall and better tred.

Don't those wheels come with performance tires?

I think swapping tires would definitely make a difference, depending on how often are you in the sand I would get the most aggressive tire possible for off-roading. If you're looking for a all-season tire I have the Toyo Proxes 4 Plus and they work great in Michigan winters.

Need a video of you being stuck.  If tires are moving but car not moving, you h ave a traction issue.  If not able to send power to wheel(s) that have traction, then the system sucks.

How many tires were spinning?
