Hey! At least the Mall Crawlers were helping each other out... Those 22s and 24s with low profile Street Tires, @ 40psi sure are Purdy aren't they? ..... 😋😆😄😆😳
* Low Tire pressure * Avoid Driving Perpendicular with the ruts * Keep your momentum (don't stop to look at the damn horses unless you're on hard packed sand.) I once saw a Catalytic car stuck on the beach almost a mile from the inlet... no idea how he made it that far.
A chain for towing is fine, but a chain for recovery is BAD, cables too. If you want to get a good recovery device get a "Recovery Strap/Rope". The point is it need to hold alot of force and stretch. Stretching is the important part. With a chain your liable to break something really fast, a recovery strap stretches and stores the force continuing to pull after the pulling truck stops. ProComp Recovery Strap, look it up.
Hey James I was just going to ask if it helps to drop the tire pressure. I don't get to drive on sand but living in wyoming we have plenty of snow first thing we do is drop the pressure to 10 psi. Thanks for your comment and have fun .
@Montana- Tourons! That's a GREAT word! I'll have to use that here in Va. Beach. We go to O'coke frequently (as responsible drivers, pick up trash beyond our own, etc.) and have never been sandstuck but we're a bit more experienced. It is funny when someone thinks they have a biga** truck they can do anything. Same thing happens to some of them on ice and snow . . . always entertaining!
Even with front and rear locking diffs on my Power Wagon, I lower the air pressure. However, I avoid most of the OBX because of scenes like this. I pulled the same idiot in an AWD minivan out two days in a row a few years ago, but left him on the third day. You just can't fix stupid.
I have been to the OBX many times, but always in the off-season to avoid this kind of crap. Stock 2003 Pathfinder LE with Bridgestone Duelers, never been stuck once. A little common sense goes a long way when off roading.
+Steven King Lots of people don't. I don't know if it's ignorance or they simply think they will be okay if they don't. I also have come across many AWD vehicles and even a CAR! A fucking CAR that was stuck right as it entered the access. I stopped to offer to pull them out, and I just had to shake my head and ask, why? Why would you think you could drive a car out here?? Maybe they need to post more signs, I don't know…
+Jake no more signs Jake. No more laws. We just have to go the way of Darwin and let the intelligent survive. I mean WTF!!?? I'm glad there's smart folks like you. Have a YT channel? I'll check you out. Check me. Loved your comment. It's people like you that make the world not fail miserably!!! Oh, and TRUMP CARSON 2016z. Take care man. I'll check your channel. S
@@JAK3THETUB3 They probably think they can drive their car in the ocean too. "It'll float paw, you wait and see". 🤔😕 Oh no we're sinking paw😭 Fucking incredible how ignorant these people are!
My little Jeep with a 4.0 never gets stuck. 10PSI in the tires and I'm good. But if I were to get stuck, I have a chain instead of a rope. Also, gonna talk to some of my mechanic buddies to see if they can get me a tow cable for a tank. That'll never break.
Nothing beats a 4.0 Jeep Wrangler for beach and dune wheelin! Of course, doors off and top down. 20 psi, never had a problem. 🏖😎 O///////O 🇺🇸 JEEP ON 🇺🇸 '41 - '06
@rmtskingdom Not the ones in this video, The response earlier was just to say their is a sport of getting stuck, its all about how to get unstuck in a timely manor. But that was definitely not happening here, no one had straps, tire gauges or shovels...
Ok I've watched a lot of yours and other sand videos. My question is, why no one uses a winch? I've been off roading since the 70's and have always had a winch on my trucks. It might be because I'm a tower. but makes more sence to use one to get them unstuck then use a strap to drag them off the sand. I'm I wrong?
Most of us do not use winches becouse there isnt normally an anchor point. As for pulling some one else out, the proper way (which is my first go to) is a recovery strap. These recovery straps are ment to stretch a bit and gives you a built up energy force that helps greatly. In the video you see all people doing it wrong, thats why its entertaining. The first thing is always avoid getting stuck in the first place. None of these people air down, and some get offended when you suggest it. Most could of driven off onntheir own if they aired down. The sans here is dry and thick, if I plan on driving around is down to 15psi.
#1 Common sense, lower tire pressure - 20psi has always worked for me, recovery straps, compressor and a military shovel is what I usually have with me for beach and dune wheelin. My family and I mostly beach wheel alone and there's never anything to connect a winch to, it's a beach. I've never been stuck on a beach in the 5 years I've been wheelin on it.
The trick is to allow all the wheels to spin burying the car all the way to the chassis. After this has occurred, it's just a simple process of travelling along the sand like a sled. If only more people knew how to fully utilize this technique.
It just blows my mind that people actually like the look of big chrome wheels with the POS lift kits on their trucks. Just looks goofy as hell but to each their own
I'll never understand why people have so much trouble with Oregon Inlet. We've gone down there plenty of times with stock trucks aired down to 12 psi and float right through it.
MrTwinsrule I am no Jeep hater. But the badge on the front of a vehicle has nothing to do with it. Traction does. Lockers, wide aired down tires, and a driver who knows what they are doing are what prevents the kind of cluster that you see in this video.
Exactly, anything can get stuck. Also not being a Jeep hater but I have pulled Jeeps out in the Silver Lake sand dunes with my F250 Powerstroke. And have seen even super light buggies stuck.
I prefer my Jeep over any other vehicle for wheelin but there are other capable vehicles that do well too. It's all about the driver's competency. In all honesty, I like seeing only 2 door Jeeps on the beach and dunes, every other vehicle just looks so out of place and goofy, with the exception of dune buggys. Jeep On! 🇺🇸
@compaq2441 They cannot do that? Because people live down there.... You'd need a permit to drive on the beach and such.. and I am sure there will be a lot of dispute.
I can play in the mud for months and never break anything. I go to the beach never get stuck or even get close to getting stuck. and sure enough just before or right after I leave I will drop a drive shaft every damn time. so I quit going to the beach.
Question. Can you successfully drive there with a 2wd assuming you have good ground clearance and all terrain aired down tires? Asking for a friend who wants to take his 2wd tacoma there :)
@@michaelstillwell3513 I have seen videos of vw buggies there and those are 2wd. Of course they are probably better suited than a regular 2wd Tacoma for sand
20 inches of lift is useless when you have bologna skin tires that cant be aired down. Rule of thumb your rim diameter should never be more than half your tire diameter for off road applications! Airing down is key!
made me laugh very much but also reminded me why i have to move up north ASAP. i'm surrounded by idiots who think they are tough and cool. not knowing they are just copying each other and wasting their life trying to have a certain identity. or maybe that is what life's about and i'm thinking too much. maybe i need to go to bojangles and watch the tarheels. just shed my soul and be another worker bee.
Corolla owners must be the smartest then? There's stupid people everywhere, big trucks have nothing to do with brains or dick size. Grow up and quit being so quick to judge... Own and drive whatever you want, who cares?
Diesels are just too slow and too heavy and torquey for the sand. Get you a Chevy 350 VORTEC and some firestone ATX tires, they rate an "A" in sand. I run around 20 psi. Never get stuck.
+Steven King I agree. I have a 460 2001 Dodge Ram 4x4. Her MPG is horrible, but I haven't even gotten close to getting stuck. I've even pulled dualies out more then a few times on the beach. Every time I go I have to pull at least 2 vehicles out. Haven't been beaten yet, and never had another truck help out.
Steven King They dont make firestone ATX tires anymore. Those are what were failing on ford explorers and making them roll over in the early to late 90s.. Firestone does make a newer version all terrain though.
My brother and I both have Crew cab F250 Diesels coming in at 9000lbs. We take them to the Silver Lake sand dunes every year. We have never gotten stuck and blast around in the dunes even where lighter vehicles have problems. We air down to 15 psi in the front and 12 psi in the rear. Biggest thing is just knowing how to drive your vehicle. Of course our years of off road driving experience in all conditions helps.
people just think..oh i got a truck or suv i can go anywhere...its all about grip and a air downed tire puts a bigger foot in the sand and gets better grip..ughh when will people learn... i have a old 96 jeep with a 4.0l and 31 inch tires ive never gotten stuck even in the softest sand or deepest of groves
? why would i purposely want to get stuck? and no im not afraid to get my truck dirty she hasnt been washed in over 3 years and has dents and scratches all over her....shes no garage queen
I'll take my 74 blazer on 44 x 21 truxus I had a blast down there many times 2wheel drive every where..big wheels little tires just for looks no good for anything..hahah. amazing the idiots
"no one had straps, tire gauges or shovels" The only reason why no one of them should have gotten any help from others. Let them call a tow guy and make them pay $100-$500. It will make EVERYONE happy. 1) The tow guy will be happy 2) These fools will learn the lesson to carry all the recovery equipment with them...
"Von Luger: Are all American officers so ill-mannered? Hilts: Yeah, about 99 percent. Von Luger: Then perhaps while you are with us you will have a chance to learn some. Ten days isolation, Hilts. Hilts: CAPTAIN Hilts. Von Luger: Twenty days. Hilts: Right. Oh, uh, you'll still be here when I get out? Von Luger: [visibly annoyed] Cooler!"
