    2019 was a couple decades ago. You were just a confused young man trying to find his way in the world. Probably beardless, wearing pants and not shorts. The dream of having other people's children build stuff for free in your workshop not even passing into your mind yet.

    Got my order from Arbuckles yesterday. Good thing I got the two get one deal. Doggon FedEx driver put it right next to the garage door on the tire marks... not in the big, marked box for packages that he had to walk around to do that. Drove over it backing in because It was camouflaged and I didn't see it. Fricken fracker that was my Arkansas sauce!

    So... As I am eating my lunch I was watching a Matt's video. 3rd Gen stuck in sand... dug in pretty deep. I thought those things had crawl control and could get out of that type of situation. What gives? Bad driver?

    I had to go see for myself because my 1st thought was he probably had some 35's on. :crapstorm:

    Out of curiosity was it the black tacoma with the flip-flop wearing driver? :D:notsure:
    Messed up his left rear bumper on the way out.

    The part that bugs me was how he kept saying that was beach sand, now I don't know where he swims but I personly have never seen beach sand like that!

    His biggest problem was probably calling a youtuber who uses a ball mount for recoveries.

    But, Without watching or giving a shit about Matt, I'll guess poor decision making and a lack of skill.

    With the volume down they are fun to watch... at lunch. Would have been watching Trail Mater because they at least show good landscapes. I sometimes miss being out west...

    Okay-watching this, it literally dug itself out. How about really dry sand? Mud? I think the truck in Matt's video was also on a slope like this and looked like nice packy sand like this so in theory it should have gotten out. Cool trick. PATIENCE is the word... and well... Most people are not going to wait that long for the truck to get itself out. My guess anyway.

    No-blue with nice wheels, lift. Looked like a well done truck. Clearly new to being on dirt... the post has a Subaru on it

    No. Just 2nd time in a couple weeks I've seen/heard flip-flops and wheeling in the same subject. Must be more common than I thought. :D
    Here's the video I watched. According to that 'demo' run video. This guy should've gotten out, too.?

    Yep. Patience.
    Before watching the demo, I'm most certain I probably wouldn't have waited that long.
