1990Runner

Well its plain and simple. I burried my truck in some botomless super soft sand. Ive been in the same exact place before and its never swallowed my truck. but the worst part is that a jeep pulled me out. Something that was kinda cool is me and another 4-runner just like mine had to double up on a big ass ford power stroke that bit off more than he could chew. he was sunk real bad, my little 3.slow couldnt yank that big mofo out by itself. it was also dark by that point so i didnt get any pics of that one. but here is the pics of mine. well im a effin idiot or my computer sucks big oscar myers cause i cant get the pictures on here but what ever

oh and thats not me or my girl. thats my girls sister and her husband.
and i jacked up my bumper at some point during that day. it makes this really really annoying sqeaking noise at the slightest bump in the road. any suggestions on a good strong rear bumper that would also replace my spare tire carrier??

did you air down your tires ??
they look like street tires but i think you could have gotten out if you aired down

I'm not trying to be a jerk but I could of gotten through that.

1990Runner

no i didnt air down and a locker would have helped alot cause my right front and left rear were spinin. but the tires have always done great for me in the sand with out airing down. but i do plan on some better tires when these are worn out. but im still a rookie anyway, this is my first 4wd so what do you do?

MMA_Alex

when you get stuck in sand you air down....and drive right out

scuba

in the sand, whenever you come to a complete stop, back up a few feet on that packed sand that you just made.
but its kool, im kinda a rookie too.

X2 - The soft/deep sand rule of thumb is 20lbs. (and a little less if you are running deep tread mud tires)

I vote paddle tires for the rear! Looks like you got stuck pretty good there. Glad to hear you got out, and just tell people you think it was an FJ40 that towed you out

I've had plenty of 4x4's and I still manage to get stuck in places I probably shouldn't, don't sweat it. Everyone says they can get through something without realizing that pictures have a habit of making things not look as bad as they are.

Air them down next time. I run my bfg mts at 12 psi sometimes lower in the sand... You could have gotten out easily.

1990Runner

got to remember to air down, seems pretty crucial. but any links to back bumpers that have a tire carrier on them would be great. ive been searchin on here and around and no one seems to make them with the carriers on em thanks Charlie
