Sand Sinking

-true, but didnt even air down though. but i get wat ur saying. tire flexing n all

 

Very true. Big blingin wheels look great but they just dont work for off road. End result is your tires suck. Id say get some 16's with 33's or get used to watching people go up hills

 

Tacobo, you just need to pick up a small compressor that clips onto the battery to re-fill your tires quickly... They are $50-$80...

Drop your big tires to 10-15 psi and play all day on that sand dune.

 

i can climb up hills n stuff, just not sandy ones. i do my fair share of stuff that others cant do. i guess its a trade-off. im fine with that

 

ya , i was thinking of that. but i lost my yellow sand shovel at the lake n my friend has my bucket so i cant make any sand castles waahhhh

 

I love being in glamis and seeing jacked up fords and chevys with the 20" rims buried right up to their drop brackets. The whole truck is shaking like a mofo but nothing is happening. Then I drive by in 2wd

 

I have LT firestone at's. It has a stiffer sidewall than stock. Manual trans, 4cyl, reg cab. I can climb hills fast or creep with no problems. I air down. It didn't matter what the sand conditions were. Packed, loose, ruts, didn't matter, I had no problems in 4hi or lo. 2wd... not so much.
I go easy on the gas while climbing. Dig a little=dig alot.

 

Thats good advice. You cant "stab" the gas. You need to be smooth with it. Once you start to dig it only gets worse

 

word. its cool seeing the guys with the super long ford 450000 n chevys super diesel duper dooooleeeeez on 8ft lifts all bro'd out with a 40ft trailer for all their bikes quads n gear riding, then i pass by them on the same trail cuz my truck fits. and riding with the ac on!

 

ya i know, when i off road or do anything like that, i always try to have a slow steady throttle.

 

maybe i can post up a couple of videos to compare. because now that i think about it, i dont understand why yours didnt make it up that last hill either

tacobo670- ac, 6speed, 33s, 6" lift, LSD

me- dcsb, auto, 32s, 3" lift, LSD and aired down to 20psi

 

F*n-A!!! donno!!!!! wtf was i saying! ur truck looks so easy, mines just shit itself half way up

 

shit maybe airing down just that lil bit helped. next time we go try airing down, i can air you back up. and see what happens.

 

ya i know, thats wat i was thinking. but greg didnt, but he got a locker so... ya.

 

yea locker and atrac. that fucker made it look so easy! haha. shit even on the 1st hill greg didnt have a problem.

 

word

 

I took mine to the sand last weekend and needed to keep the rpm's up to make any hills.

Air down to 10-15 psi and pin the throttle.

Then add this to air back up:

 

Got any info on this area? I'm heading to Vegas in Jan and I want to play in the desert a bit.

Back in topic, looks like air pressure. What psi do you keep in em?

 

I did just this- picked up a small compressor at harbor freight and carry it at all times. I've got the Mickey Baja ATZs (285/70R17s) and really love them. I used them in some really soft sand and got stuck at full psi in them. After airing down to 18 I didn't get stuck the rest of the day- and that was half way through the day. The rest of the day was just pure fun without getting stuck. I can tell you that your tires are awesome so don't get rid of them!

lol but if you do insist on parting with those beauties- how much?
