    That soft sand sucks. We were on a good trail and then it kinda tapered off so we were kinda guessing where to go and i made the wrong choice.

    Luckily a Silverado pulled me out.

    Wierdest thing too. We were in a place where i didn't figure anyone would be and it just so happens he comes cruisin along and pulls me out. Nice guy.

    So yeah, that was my adventure yesterday. i might do some more today in hard dirt. no more lake beds for this Taco.

    Haha! Yeah, well i had my friend with me that has a 4wheel Cherokee, but we couldn't get me out. And no, i didn't air down cuz we were on hard dirt and i didn't wanna get into soft sand, and the dirt totally didn't look that soft, and i went over and just sank. HAHA.

    Is it off road because if it is you should have an E-locker and if you activate it it will most def. help or is it sport?

    Eh, doing it alone and not aired down at any rate. I got stuck in sand without airing down. After I learned that lesson, thus far :knock on wood: sand's treated me well thus far.

    Nice looking truck man, those meats look great on it.
