Great, I just bought a 2004 Mazda Tribute as a 3rd car just for beach & fishing, the AWD before the back differential was busted but managed get hold of a used Ford Escape part. Had not the time to full test in dunes and sands, but I think deflating tires to +/- 20 psi will get me up on dunes. Also detected that the 3.0 engine uses lots of fuel, hummmpfff. This car is only for me to make mods as I feel it needs. Does someone out there know wich ones are essential to do to this AWD?

Thanx for comment! :-) The bad photo quality is because of the hard wind that day! It was impossible to stand still...

Hello silentknight101! No, this is a 4 cyl model!

No, the car was driven from the road to the beach without doing any adjusts!
