(Free Now) Help! Stuck frame deep in sand at Ogilby campground BLM

Look at the bright side.

You did find a private place to camp for the night.

 

a ram pulled you out

 

Better than a Jeep...

 

Need to add a full size shovel to the kit.

Would traction boards have helped?

 

Just to add, I forgot my shovel and air compressor from my previous trip crossing the Mojave trail. I left them in the garage after detailing the truck. As far as tools I had my basic tool kit, a trowel and a camping hatchet. I tried using firewood and all weather mats for traction but I couldn’t get any momentum because of how deep I was buried. A hi lift jack and thick board would have come in handy. Of course before I slept I watched all the cool gear they make to get you out of sand by yourself. Time for some investments in recovery gear.

 

Just got an alignment from a local Toyota dealership. It was pulling to passenger. Next stop San Diego, and maybe camping on a state beach Parking Lot.

Doesn’t clutch start cancel do something like the crawl

 

Glad your out

 

I am totally sold on those Kinetic recovery straps, plus a set of maxxtraxx and when I'm out solo I carry a Pull Pal so I can still use my winch without trees. Of course bottle jack with 2x4 pieces to lift a wheel and fill under it, and 60" hi-lift worst case.

 

Nope.

 

Glad ur out
Bet you went out for huge meal after spending the night and morning out there

edit: last time i got stuck i went and grabbed a six pack immediately after getting pulled out

 

Funny thing is I’ve been collecting craft beer for my road trip starting from Sacramento through Flagstaff, Sedona and Tuscon. I still don’t feel like I deserve a beer but I ended up in San Diego. So when in Rome

 

Toyota Engineer: “This is why you don’t get disk brakes...”

 

Really cool of that guy to help you out. You can easily run 12 psi in sand without popping a bead. I have a set of x bull traction boards from Amazon , 80 bucks and pretty good quality , I've used them maybe half a dozen times.

 

Also what not to do in some of the other threads

 

Don’t know if you agree with Toyota or not, but why? Disk or drum brakes have nothing to do with what happened to him. And I bet if he pulls his rear drums, there will be sand in there, but not in his front disk.
