VSC and Traction control question

I have a SE V8 2wd 4Runner and yesterday was the first time I went through some mud. When I initally got in the mud, my traction control light came on and it started making that clicking noise under the dash(normal). I wanted to pick up a little speed but the traction control would only let me go like 2mph and I felt like I was going to get stuck. Slowly, I just kept moving but I felt as though the car would have done a lot better without the traction control in the mud. Does the VSC button have anything to do with this? What can I do?

Thanks

Can you shut off VSC?? If so, then do it next time before heading into mud. I would keep TRAC ON.

Go with someone next time...it's not a good idea to go mudding alone...take it from personal experience!
