    Happy Father's Day to those that frequent this thread! @dtaco06 and @SCRunner12 are the 2 I can think of off the top of my head


    Happy not a Father's Day to everyone else ;)

    Happy Father's Day guys. Don't know how you do it. Spending this weekend with all my sisters' kids has been overwhelming lol.

    On a truck related note, I almost buried it in sand yesterday before I could get down to the boat!

    You need to go to Pismo more often and practice in the sand.

    Haha it was much worse than pismo. The owner of the beach brought in a bunch of really fine sand to make it nicer to hang out on the beach. Super deep difficult to walk in stuff. I just made it over that little hill in the background so I could get to the boat. Still not quite sure if it was legal to be driving there but nobody stopped me haha

    lol I was at 13 psi

    My brother in law says "don't go any slower than this or you'll get stuck"

    Me: "I'm pushing the pedal through the floor..."

    Yeah man. Just totally not joking that sand was deep. Miserable. I never want to drive on that beach again lol.

    Only reason I did is because I had to haul a bunch of people to the boat. Our boat couldn't hold all my nieces and nephews and sisters. There are 25 of us here...

    Maybe but I've always heard good things about the RT in sand and I've been to pismo twice and not had any issues.

    If you have the power muds are great because they act like paddle tires. I've only been in sand with mud terrains so not sure how AT's do

    They were pretty ok in sand for me when I had my skinnies. Definitely air down to 15 to get a decent footprint

    Isn't White Mountain what we did the last time I ran with you? I'm still in though. I'll be getting my gears the week before, but I think I'll hold off on installing them immediately if we're gonna wheel
