Turn off traction control and air down, I live next to the Oceano dunes and I've seen it happen many times to rigs

I find that sometimes with my manual, if I select a gear that's too high for the terrain and start from a standstill, like on a hill or something, I will get clutch chatter. Some obstacles are deceptive and need 4lo to be able to get started in the right gear.

I think this is what im getting as well. I have '11 unlimited automatic. when i climb a dune and the wheels start spinning in 4H i get a violent shutter. from one of the other users post to this thread it appears i just need to air down?? i was going to disable the traction control but this appear to be a bad idea as i am just off-roading incorrectly...??

Everytime you are offroading the traction control should be turned off.
