Yes I kept turning TC off at Start up and its preset in my R button. it was weird but i really think the WET heavy sand had something to do with it.Thanks for sharing and adding to the knowledge base here. Did you try TC or stability control off in any modes?
Regardless seems like a bug to me. Would love to know if this is by design.
OT but pics?
The bonus irony here is that a SXS is kind of a poor choice to jump due to the short coupling and CG. They endo about as much as they stick a landing, and taking whoops fast enough to get air often leads to the same bucking issues that plague rear engine buggies.
Ah man no pizza cutters on the front? You're killing me smallsUh ya I had no issues in Glamis. Baja mode, rwd, advanced trac off, manual shift, and rear locked diff. I jumped multiple times, cimbed the hill, hit 76 mph through whoops, and even did some legit duning. All on paddle tires. Never had an issue. Just more info for you all.
Oh trust me that was a conscious decision. Sacrifice float for 4wd for emergencies.
I take it the steering was adequate with the BFG's? I had terrible luck getting them to dig in on the front with a Jeep and locked up rear with paddles, they just kind of plowed straight ahead oblivious to what I wanted them to do until I kicked it into 4WD or unlocked the rear.
I know you said manual shift, but did you do any gear lockouts? I hear that is ideal.Uh ya I had no issues in Glamis. Baja mode, rwd, advanced trac off, manual shift, and rear locked diff.

Ya steering was ok. I aired down to 20. May try a little lower next time and see if I can get more float. Smoothies would be nice. But the 4wd is a good insurance when needed. Had to go slow through the whoops. Then my last run almost hit 4th accelerating up the hill. So not sure what speed that was. Maybe 50?
I'm not sure what you mean?
Could also try airing up to normal pressure, that would make the front tires sink and catch a little more sand for better steering. It'll reduce performance somewhat, but there might be a sweet spot between good steering and good flotation somewhere above 20psi? That never really worked well for me on a Jeep because I had pretty good flotation with street pressure, they never really dug in. You can always air back down if it sucks LOL
If you leave the shifter in D, but hit the downshift paddle it will take away gears. So, you can have it where it won't shift past 5th, 6th, or whatever you want. This is how it works in F-150's at least. Should be the same in the Braptor, but I haven't tried it.
You'll get a feel for it no problem, it helps if you've got an ARB or similar onboard to test out different psi. Find one that feels right and send it! If it wants to pull to one side or the other at full throttle with a locked rear, add or reduce psi to get it tracking straight again, i.e. if it pulls to the left, air up the left or drop air in the right. Probably real similar in the drifting world, but that's out of my wheelhouse.
