- Driving in tbe sand in a 2wd vehicle. Remember you are not 4x4 only do this for short travel or emergencies only. . If your vehicle is low you may damage your front bumper. Keep your momentum going if possible don't stop.
Drop your PSI and just gotta send it!
I'm wondering about this on very soft sand narrow trails in central Florida.... My FWD 4 cylinder van has a curb weight of only 3600lb and running tiny 215/55r16s. I got stuck on a trail the other day and had be recovered/winched out. I'm not trying to off road, just trying to get to some properties I own a mile in and need to do it my van. Most of the 1 mile trail is hard and packed, but there are about Four 20 foot stretches that are very soft, deep and fluffy. I was not ready when I went last time and was lucky a tow company could winch me out. This next time I will lower my air pressure and do some work on those trails.. maybe dig, wet and compact them some.. been thinking of mixing them with some Portland cement for future (LOL). Just in case will have a shovel, 2x12x8 planks, air pump and an electric jack. What worries me most is that I'm going alone and it's got bad cell reception and don't think a regular tow truck will go too deep. I may have to pay hired help to be safe.
@@12vLife always make sure to have a way of helping yourself and getting unstuck
Looks really gorgeous!
Wow.. that was dope...
No wayyyyy! Thank you !!!!
Knowing is everything 😀😀😀😀
When in doubt throttle out
Love the videos sub and bell gang
I made it in your vid I feel honored.
it all depends on what sand your talking about, youll be fine on some, not get 5' in others.
Greeaatt advice....
FWD car definently needs the rear tires aired down for "traction" . . . . . . . . That my friend is the "key".. thx for the humor
Catness Everdeen only humor here is your comment, the rear tires are aired down so they dont drag in the sand
@@THEpicND with the emergency break on mabey
I forgot to switch to 4wd after airing down and did not notice until I got to a 90 degree double S turn where the diesel trucks all throw down the coal. All knee deep ruts and black sand, even in 4wd it can be tricky. A Range Rover was stuck and I told him he should air down, he said, I am. They not only have front and rear lockers and onboard air, they have tire pressure on demand.
And it has air lift and lower shocks
You should have done your 0 psi mod!! -just kiddin..
👍
I’ll go to a beach that has dunes next month with my 2wd old Ranger with m/t tires. Is it possible to ride on the mostly flat places there to the beach? Should I lower the pressure in all four tires or just the ones in the back?
I’m heading there in a Lexus FWD RX350 with strut spacer and 255/65r18 AT tires. Wish me luck
Of course u can. Back in the day I took my Gpa’s ‘ol F150 long bed 2wd all across the dunes & even up comp! Haha. Just gotta run em flat.
Now if you have factory 22’ rims 4x2 SUV same thing release air on tires?
Front wheel drive car, better air down the rear tires as well so they get traction😂😂😂😂
I use to drive a Honda civic out there, everywhere. Drive right by stuck lifted trucks. It's all about momentum and tire psi. When it's hard pack after a rain pretty much go anywhere.
you are dam right
When its packed you drop, what about when its fresh and soft
Is there a minimum drop of air psi, say if tires are at 40
I have a Honda Accord V6 and this is the truth. I’ve passed lifted jeeps that got stuck because they didn’t use momentum or air down. Kinda funny but it’s the truth
This one work if you still have stock tires. Different story if you already got low profile tires. Lowering the tire's air pressure didn't do much help.
I've been planning to do a trip to the desert for awhile, and was super worried about possibly getting stuck in the sand. I had heard about the psi trick but wasn't sure how well it worked. I'm glad to see it's true! Especially on a little sedan that looks almost exactly like mine.
Buddies and I drove a rental car around buttercup dunes to comp hill and I just kept the momentum and worked great. It was a rental and doing donuts in reverse in front wheel drive is actually alot of fun. 🤘
Ur a bad man
I’ve seen 2 wheel drive cars getting into heavy sand before. Check El Golfo De Santa Clara.
Good video. I still enjoy more to watch a guy bury his truck thinking underneath the sand is a pavement and he will spring forth.
Wtf are all those people doing with vehicles on the beach? It's not even sunny 🤔
Will this work with 2wd ram 1500 5.7
drove my 2013 Civic off Gecko Rd. in Glamis with 5 people in it, didn't even need to air down
Look at the Send 1t 2.0 video, we drove a Taurus out there, even pulled a truck with it
Just like old days ✌🏼
What is the name of this beach?
In my State, sadly it is not allowed to drive on beach 😒🙄
So at what point do I air down my tires? I’ll be going down there Monday. 2019 f350 all stock. I haven’t been there in a couple years so some intel would be appreciated thanks!
Before you're on your frame rails. If you have lots of tire you can try 16psi first. 12 is really only for lower profile tires and lighter cars. Lower than 16 you risk rolling a bead while turning
Maybe 18 to be safe. You want a noticeable bulge at the bottom of the tire as that is the magic
0xsergy right on thanks
I would air down just before you leave the road. Often the dry sand just past the end of the improved road is some of the softest sand (damp sand usually provides better support).
You don't mention if you will have a trailer, but if you do you should air it down too (unless it is very small). Even tires that aren't driven will sink in soft sand and act as an anchor.
@@0xsergy I'm curious if anyone has personally had a tire de-bead in sand. And if so, what pressure were you running?
I do a lot of deep snow driving (not so much sand). I often run 5 psi, and sometimes as low as 3 psi, and my tires don't de-bead (I don't have bead locks). Granted, they are reasonably large tires (35 inch) on a fairly light rig (4000 lb fully loaded) which I think helps. But, if you aren't driving over rough terrain or making high speed corners, I find tires stay on the bead amazingly well.
👍🤣
and now u know ....and knowing is half the battle
Yo Joe!👍
👍
We will be there on Saturday. For some fun in the Sun ☀️
Got back today parked on mile marker 5 lots of people getting stuck there. Before there it’s all good. Air down and you’ll be fine. Seen lots of whales keep an eye out 😎
Thanks my Brother! Been there many times. Always air down. Always Good Times 🤙
he said FULL SEND 🤣🤣
great vid
Agree air and momentum
If you're a rear wheel drive truck do you also deflate the fronts too?
Yes deflate on sand no matter what
Basic rule is deflate the tires putting down the power, if it's not putting down power, no need to deflate, then you gotta remember to be gentle on the throttle, too much throttle and you'll be buried again, not enough and you won't go anywhere...... Just gotta feel for the sweet spot where you're not spinning, but you're not stuck..... Also remember to turn off traction control if your vehicle is equipped
Gotta love the Mexican music in the background also notification gang😂🤙🏽
I guess this was recorded in Mexico? I’m from Europe and have no idea what Mexican music is. I’m assuming that’s the circus/calliope music that’s playing in the beginning?
Notification gang! Honestly love RUclips videos like this! Keep up the good work🤙🏻
Air had nothing to do with it. 35mph is what got them out. I saw an old Lincoln Continental do that with full air pressure in his tires. He hit it fast and had no issues.
