2wd in the sand?

I cant believe you guys are telling him to not even try. When I was in high school my buddy had an older bmw and I had a volvo....we would mob at pismo and rarley get stuck...even going to comp hill. Its all in how you drive. Easy on the gas....keep up momentum. If you can stop while going down hill its eaiser to start back up....air way down...basic

 

just dont do it

 

Air the tires down and keep the momentum going (like everyone else has mentioned)

 

Air down. Way down.


It really is simple to drive on sand with a PreRunner.

 

i have a 2wd trd off road i go to the beach a lot the sand is not very soft and deep but at places it is so far have not gotten stuck or had any problems at all and if i do i have the rear lock diff to take care of that

 

2WD will not work at all here at the Jersey shore. We have the deep sugar sand here on the beaches and even on some of the trials.

 

I have to tell my bs story about my '65 Mustang on FR78x14 radials on sand at the Silver Strand south of San Diego. Needed a little push to get going once, but keeping the speed up and wheelspin down is the ticket.

That deep dune stuff, heck tanks get stuck in that stuff.....

 

Its embarrassing to here your worries about driving in the sand...

 

my truck might see some sand this weekend, wish me the best

 

Good luck!

 

give it a try. go 4 it i wuld say. there is a first for everything

 

lol i recently got stuck in the sand, i think i was going to fast and just kept revving the engine watching my truck stir up dust thank god for the special button got my ass out of there

 

so i went out yesterday and how no problems getting to my spot pretty far down the beach... however on the way out after a day of big ass Fords/chevys tearing up the entrance/exit had to have some people push me out... btw close to stock 4wds were having a bunch of trouble too

 

But dude! You NEVER try to go in the sand with 2wd. EVER! It's just something you SHOULDN'T do.




Did you have fun?

 

Tell that to the guys running the Baja 1000 this year in 2WD! How about a 2WD with a rear locker? Back in the day, I did a Baja Surf Trip in a stock SR5 20 or 22R?, 2WD, (circa 1980), and did a lot of beach and sand stuff. I did pick and choose, but it got me into a lot of places you would think you needed a 4WD. As a FYI, I did surf trips, baja race trips, mexico gulf trips throughout the year, year after year after this trip so I did go with 4x4 with all my rigs after this truck... well until now...

 

You must not have sensed my intrawebz sarcasm.



I go in the sand with my PreRunner all the time.


Only got stuck once in some really really deep soft sand.

 

It was a mirror image of myself with the sarcastic humor and I missed it...

 

dont go in any seriously soft sand or stop in it!!!
other than that you should be fine...i took my mustang down to galveston beach and drove around on it all the time when i had it...

 

i had a fucking blast it was soooo awesome to get my beauty out on the beach and we got out to a spot no prob... decided to head back in as most of the people were leaving... and having trouble leaving, stock 4x4s... well on the way out im running on the nice hard shelf but theres fishers way up it and theres a stuck landrover, which said best 4x4 in the world... ahaha, so i lost speed going around them which they were right at the entrance which was torn up by oversized domestic trucks on 35s plus... so i got by them and tried to get back on the hard... didnt happen... a couple guys helped and pushed me out
