Air down. Momentum is your friend.

Recently went to the Silver Lake Dunes in Michigan and deflated tires to around 9lbs. Also, once your forward momentum stops, get off the gas. You will be amazed how fast you can bury yourself and need to be pulled out.

I want that cactus pusher you have. Where did you get it?
Also, love the graphics too.

So..."Sand" or "Baja" mode?

Sand Mode, ~12psi is good, hold Traction Control button for a few seconds to turn AdvanceTrac OFF. (it will keep coming back on randomly though, haven't figured out why. After a restart for sure, but maybe after going back to Park as well?)
Speed is key on any sand hill climbs, let off too early or you won't make it.

Bring a snatch strap and traction boards if you have them.

So..."Sand" or "Baja" mode?

I tried Baja, it was nice to be able to leave the 360* cameras on while driving(if equipped obviously), but Sand was better I thought for climbs and low speed stuff. I wish the cameras could stay on in any off-road mode.

Yeah, I also turned off the traction control. I ended up using Baja since you could have the front camera on. I found it really helpful to glance at the screen as I was cresting the top of a hill. Otherwise all I could see was sky so it was reassuring that there wasn't anything on the other side.

Green Mountain Offroad. Thank you!

Does the bar interfere with your trail camera?

This is what I was able to find because I cannot find "Green Mountain Offroad."
Closest search was for Greene Mountain UTV or Extreme UTV Offroad, which was no help. Greene Mountain in the Pacific NW has plenty of hiking trails too I found...

Does this look similar? I really like the look, and to many are "close" but not like yours.

Ohhhh...I am sorry. It's GreenLANE Offroad.

I see just a tiny bit of the brush/cactus guard in the camera. Hardly noticeable.

The weekend at the 2022 NW Bronco Round-up was steller!

Florence, OR has fabulously high sand dunes, or flat runs along the ocean's shore.

I took alot of ya'lls advice: aired down to 11PSI; used Sand and Baha modes and ensured tracton control was off. Sand mode in the big, fluffy flour-like dunes; Baha on the sandy straight-aways. Thanks to all of you!

The engine mounted ARB Twin Compressor with the Morrflate 4-hose system worked flawlessly airing down and up. Slick system; all four tires in about 7 minutes.

Learned how to goose-launch the Bronco in Sport and Baha during drag racing, too!

Northwest Bronco Round-up is a really well done annual event. HUNDREDS of Broncos show up!! I highly recommend going. They have a website that has all the info.
