Default Been Off Road Yet?

Has anyone taken their '13 AWD off road yet?
Next month I the the opportunity to do some desert off roading in the Yuma, Az area. Nothing too serious, just sand and soft spots.
Looking forward to see how it compares to my '07 FWD.

Haha did that today ended up heading to a storage unit on some back unpaved road. Ended up using diff lock. Downhill descent and the abs was going crazy. Some heart pumping white knucle driving. I just got my santa fe so sport tires dont work as well on snow covered roads. Had fun though.

I remember this link for the off roading.

Do you have winter tires yet? Or are you ordering some soon?

No winter tires yet. I have a 1 month old set that I used on my Odyssey that I will be exploring if its possible to get some rims put on it. Otherwise I will sell those and try to get something. Doubt it will happen this season though.
