You don't want to just tap the brakes, you want to ride the brake pedal (enough to turn the brake lights) on. It takes a little practice to do it smoothly with your left foot, but not much. Kicking into first also works, I rarely have to do both, just pick the right one for the terrain.

It happens in 4Hi too, TCS takes over and controls throttle response when a wheel is spinning. I often will be in 4Hi going through loose sand, with my foot to the floor and barely moving. That's whaen it is time to "trick" the system. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Exactly. I just use first for the most part, just because its easier to pull the shifter back than it is to ride the brake (unless you are a blue hair). Alan, you would know if you were bouncing off the rev limiter, 6 grand, motor wound tight...
