I went down to the beach yesterday with a couple other trucks. I came over the dune from the left side so I didn't see the drop until I got to the top of the dune. Once I saw that, I tried to stop, but the sand was so loose I just slid right down into it. Took a few tries, but the guy in the black sport and his dad in the Titan were finally able to get me out.

I had drawn quite a crowd by the time we finally got it out too. haha

And this is the group of trucks that made it out this time.

I will say you got guts man. I took my truck to the beach in June and i said never again. To this day Im still finding sand in and on the truck irritates the hell out of me. Hope your isn't a 3 month clean up lol

Yes, my phone has a mind of its own. It does what it wants, when it what's to, whether i like it or not. It must be taking lessons from my wife. (Tapatalk)

So guess where I've been...yep the car wash and cleaning. I do like to have fun but I'm also VERY particular about cleaning everything out really well. About the only thing I haven't done yet is the engine, gonna give that a go with the water hose.

Guts or stupidity...I don't know which. :crazy:

This is my third time down there. My interior will never be the same from the first time I was down there so from this point on it doesn't much matter. I'll always be finding sand in odd places.

Definitely, but one good thing about loose sand is that it stops your momentum.

Well it did surprise me, but I wasn't going fast so it was pretty gentle. I got out laughing because we were joking about me getting stuck that day. The only thing I was concerned about really was how we were going to get it out. Obviously no going forward and behind me was nothing but loose sand.

It's always nice to have fun and not break anything on the truck. Here are a couple more pics that somebody else took. I sort of drew a crowd. LOL

You know, I think my lights stayed sand free! That's probably about the only place in my truck that doesn't have sand right now...

I knew we would get it out - just a matter of how many trucks we were going to have to put on it. We did have room for one more, but would have needed another tow strap, and for that reason I'm planning to have another one in my possession before I set out the next time. Hopefully won't need it, but you just never know.
