gonna catch a lot of crap for this post #prerunner

So I live in Florida; Daytona Beach area specifically. I bought and love my 15 pre-runner DCSB but after being on our drive on friendly beach I have now gotten stuck in the sand twice in four trips. Now I am willing to eat shit knowing I have posted "I don't need 4x4", before, but damn it's embarrassing for sure. Saturday while at our church outing 3 people stopped their Saturns or whatever front wheel drive rust buckets to inform me if I would just engage four wheel drive I would get out of what really is for all intensive purposes just a parking spot on the beach. My truck sinks like a dude with a death warrant's feet strapped to cinder blocks.
Beach Patrol pulled me out in 2 minutes but this shit gets old. Ideas? NO I'm not airing down for 2 hours but willing to bring my own damn shovel and pay some kids to push Someone else must have built a get out of sand package kit I'm unaware of? Wife pulled the "NO you're not trading it in for a 4x4" so it's pre-runner for-ever ( yep I gave it to her in writing whilst buying)

 

The easy answer is to air down and carry a small tank of compressed air. Other than that you can get something like max trax but they will take up way more space. Just air down and avoid getting stuck to begin with.

 

a new wife is also an option... just sayin

 

No problem having 2WD, but if you refuse to air down, you're guaranteeing yourself to get stuck in sand. Go spend $50 at autozone and get yourself a little air compressor, it'll take 15 minutes when you're done, but better than getting stuck. Also make sure you park as downhill as you can, if you're facing uphill or on a lip, your back wheels are just gonna dig in. Try to stay off the throttle as well until you get moving. As soon as your wheel slips and spins its gonna dig in, so the less wheel slippage as possible is best.

Another alternative is Maxtrax wheel skids. About $250+ IIRC, they are big skids you put under your tires to get you moving, but the lack of airing down is what's killing you the most.

 

If your still on stock tires, I'm sure the all seasons that come on the Sport aren't helping out.

 

dont feel bad bro, i too recently got stuck in a loose, pebbly area alongside a river. luckily my cousin was able to pull me out. regardless, stay true to the anti front dif movement, because we matter too, F that.

Get some maxtrax and use them before you dig too deep..

guys, here's my heartburn..... there are literally hundreds of vehicles on the beach; most ( if not all) not aired down, nor four wheel drive. How the Taco loves to get stuck is amazing to me. Beach patrol said "it's a heavy vehicle" um... not really? But I get it.... shovel, compressor just to visit the beach... yep, everyone does that>>>> NOT... Guess we can just bring our front wheel drive SUV and let an alleged "Truck" stay home ( sarcasm I know)

 

Ive never gotten stuck at daytona in any of my 2wd vehicles. Just just need to ease out. Btw are you going to that giant truck meet on the beach this saturday?

 

Nsb 4 lyfe

 

This was actually ponce the first time and port orange the second..... it's really not that soft but if the wheels settle you ain't getting out with a peerunner

 

That is the only time i've gotten my prerunner stuck, exact same ground type lol. Had to winch myself out.

OP, just air down, or invest in better tires, or invest in some Maxtrax or TREDS

 

Only if she makes the same amount of money....eh in Florida, unlikely but solid advice

 

Airing down will help you from getting stuck... It's worth the time and effort.

 

What kind of tires do you have? If you refuse to air down then you better have some halfway aggressive tread tires or else it's just asking to get stuck.

Even a 4x4 can get stuck in sand with non-aired down street tires

 

I'm still not sure what intensive purposes are.

 

For all intents and purposes I think he meant to say 'for all intents and purposes'.

 

No matter what I did with my last build, it was a pre runner.

Yes Adding a locker helps but nothing compares to a 4x4.
