Will I get stuck in the sand?

To air down correctly: Drop down to 20 lbs. in all four tires, then drive on the sand a little ways and let off the gas. If you stop, you need to let out more air. You want the jeep to keep rolling a little. If you have enough air out, you will coast a ways when letting off the gas. You don't want your engine "pushing" sand, rather floating over it. Use 4WD Hi, and take your overdrive "off" at all times. As others have said, drive like you have sense, and stay in the travel ruts for easier driving.

If you get stuck, let off the gas, mashing the peddle will only dig you deeper. If you can't move forward or back, get out and drop more air. Most tires will hold a beed down to 14-15lbs. If that doesn't get you moving, pull out your shovel and dig out each of your tires and hogs head.

Tow strap is a must, a shovel, and paitance.

I'm on the beach every weekend and agree with fishhook. Driving the beach is easy just don't ever go on sand without the following:

tow strap
12"x12" board (for jack)
jack
shovel
small fire extinguisher
trash bag
air gauge for tires

Lower your tire pressure to 10 or 12 lbs and you can run anything on the beach.I have seen BMW`s and Station wagens cruising down the beach in Corolla,Nc.
