I have a question for you Syncro guys or 2WD guys with diff locks....how
well does your van do in the sand? deep sand?

Just wondering, I know that the viscous coupling is suppossed to be a very
competant 4WD drive system, better than most that aren't TRUE 4WD
vehicles........you know 1 wheel drives in the front and 1 in the
back.......that's the way my Toyotas are, currently w/ a 97' T100
4WD...........But how does the van do vs other vehicles on the desert trails
when the
sand gets deep , or on the beach when getting across  the soft stuff to get
to the wet pack
