There was a lady life guard being interviewed for the show and she just took delight in chewing my a$$ out for driving a two wheel drive vehicle onto the beach. She lightened up a little when I told her it was the first time I've gotten stuck at the launch in over 10 years. Floor mats, a shovel and some help from some of the film crew got me off the beach in about 10 minutes.

don't worry, I've told her off along with her little minions, trying to direct traffic and tell me where i can and can't unload while they block the exit or half the beach with their ATV's and truck. she even had the nerve to tell me i couldn't pull someone out because i wouldn't make it around them and I'd get stuck... the guy i pulled out gave me $20

but thats for another topic.

when you get the truck diagnosed, post up, im curious what happened. what kind of truck? is it a manual transfer case (have a stick in the center console) or electric (knob or button on the dash)?

this is why I love my 1985 4runner, she couldnt get stuck if i tried

My ford ranger did the same thing! the 4x4 came on but it wasn't on. Happen to be if even one of the 4x4 hubs are shattered then the whole thing won't engage!
Good luck on getting it fixed jim!

That might have been the same female LG I dealt with a few weeks ago. Tall, thin, brown hair, looked like she has never smiled once in her whole life. Week ends suck. I launched at 4:30am on an almost empty beach. Come back at noon and of course the beach is a mad house. Go to pull on to the beach and get stopped by the LG. "Is this a 4WD vehicle?". I drive a ford focus station wagon with hello kitty stickers on it. 4WD, ya right. But I've been driving that car on to the LJ launch for 6 years now and never had a problem. Long pause on my part, "No". "Then you'll have to park over there and carry your kayak". She's pointing like 5 parking places back on the street. "But I can't carry my kayak", I say. Absolute dead face and no response from the LG. I say, "no really, its the long ass kayak with the big out riggers and sail right over there". She, very nicely, allows me to park half on the side walk on the going out side and drag my stuff over. The LGs have a tough job to do in the summer and they can't tell who knows how to drive in the sand. Long post, sorry. Just had to get that off my chest. Mike

Yep. She told me the same thing about my truck. My F350 4WD Warthog of a truck. But figuring that she has a lot to be "in control" about, I still chose the 'high-road' and politely agreed as I drove onto the sand. I guess after seeing the daylight under my truck she figured I was going to make it out. No Worries!

Moyer didn't catch one but he did hook and hand one to my dad (and it was a good one). I'll post photos as soon as I can.
