Sand is chalenging I was at Pismo Beach dunes and with gears and lockers I had to try and see if I could get up the big dune seen looking inland from the water. I went at it at a good pace and hit the gas to keep momentum on top of the sand n ot wanting to dig in. I was going up well and surprise I was over a razer of sand and 6 or more feet between mi wheels on the limit straps and the sand in my full size Bronco. It landed at the right angle on the downhill side. Thanks to the long travel suspension 4inch lift and King shocks I ordered from Brett after he looked at my suspension and had me weigh my Bronco front and rear separate and together with what I planned to carry . It was very soft without feeling like it bottomed out on the bump stops at all. I coasted to the bottom where it head back up and hit the gas again and kept climbing. I made it up and wentaround some a guy on a quad pulled up aand asked if I could helpmhis friends truck out stuck in a bowl. I said I can try show me where lead the way I followed him there and was able to winch him out. I lost the bead on my front tirewith low air pressure though. I chose a easy way down to the beach nearby and slow up the beach not far to the trailer we rented and thankfully my CO2 tank was able to ppop the bead back and give it some presure.I thanked God and was happy and proud to be able to help pull a full size xtra cab truck out of trouble stuck in a bowl of sand too! I know I would be very relieved getting help if stuck and the right thing to do if I could.GLAD it ended well.
in soft sand most of the time it is enough to lower tyres pressure to 10psi and use 1st or 2nd gear. if you stuck use 4L and if really stock use rear diff lock.
That imagery of the Land rover on the sand dunes is fake , there is no sand coming up on the tyres . Fake advertising . The low profile tyres are useless on a 4x4 off road vehicle . Even letting the tyre pressure down makes little difference on a low profile tyre . It's a shopping trolly .
when you put the pressure of tire 20 or less , you make the tire more space , so it’s difficult go deep in the sand . There is a physical rule that says "the more space the less pressure" . Moreover, if the air pressure is lower, it allows the frame to spin less quickly and prevents sand drilling. It also absorbs shocks, whether from rock or sloping, resulting in the release of the vehicle from suspension during the walk.
This is an excellent video and one we recommend people watching, I've meant to tell you that for years! Thank you.

10 psi seems low if you dont have bead locks
15psi or 100 kpa or 1 bar
piet skiet agree, I use 15psi as well in 1-2 gear 4H
Informative. I like it
Fantastic thanks a lot..

That imagery of the Land rover on the sand dunes is fake , there is no sand coming up on the tyres . Fake advertising . The low profile tyres are useless on a 4x4 off road vehicle .

😂😂 *reduces tire pressure in a tire with 2 inches before going to rim... How convenient for an "off road vehicle"
when you put the pressure of tire 20 or less , you make the tire more space , so it’s difficult go deep in the sand .
There is a physical rule that says "the more space the less pressure" .
Moreover, if the air pressure is lower, it allows the frame to spin less quickly and prevents sand drilling. It also absorbs shocks, whether from rock or sloping, resulting in the release of the vehicle from suspension during the walk.
