Doesn't look like anything that 15 minutes w/ a shovel wouldn't fix...:awesomework:

lol yeah we got a shovel but one thing i forgot to add was that this was way up on a beach in the super soft sand. oh and when it got stuck it was middle of the night pouring rain lol. the pics were just taken the next day when we went back in the morning.

Best thing you can ever do is drop some psi. Most of last winters blizzard I was running around with only 12psi. Just remember to air back up when getting back on the freeways. You'll be a hazard to us all if you don't. :redneck:

I dunno, If your cutting it close on gas money... maybe you should chose a different sport. It's not a matter of if you will break something, rather when.

Take preventative baby steps, get some more aggressive tires, sliders, and bumpers, then think about thrashing it around. At least this way you can drive it home in one? piece. :redneck:

Ah... you didn't mention that you had a better half. So do I, she's the only reason why I haven't been blowing my savings on my rig. Kind of a good thing or I would have a nice rig and no place to live.

Just think of all the wheeling you could do with no house to pay for though. :redneck:

Last time I was out at the ocean I came across a guy in a caravan stuck in the sand and pulled him out once, he got stuck again, so I just towed him most of the way back to the beach access.

Sounds like par for the course when you try to offroad a ford and a barbie jeep.

Air pressure is key in the sand, and well any type of offroad travel. and THROTTLE CONTROL! a lot of people go with the throttle out techniqe. this doesn't always work especially in sand or snow.
