What if they left the trailer attached, and had all those guys standing around...stand on the back of the trailer. Wouldn't that raise the back end of the little truck, thus allowing the rear wheels to become free?

Just what if...

There's a new addition to the boat ramp sign.

No grey 2wd SUV's allowed on the beach with inflatables!

Ha!

I think part of the problem is the waves - if you got your wheels in the water, over time and pushed by the weight weight of the car, the water moving back and forth slowely washes away the sand underneath the tires. It sure it doesn't help if you step on a gas pedal like crazy trying to get yourself out...

BTW, that ain't bwe webcam. That's Beach and Tennis Club security cam.

I think the one I pulled out was a Nissan

Its all about driver experience.

Not to mention that most "2wd" vehicles are not even 2wd, they are driving off of one wheel because the guy that bought it dodnt know the difference between an Open Diff, LSD or Locker so he went with the cheapest model.

I've taken my 2wd places that buddies in their 4x4 couldn't make it or wouldn't even try. Ive been stuck 2 times in over 3 years, Once in a sinkhole on a trail and once in the sand on the canals because my buddy stopped in front of me while I was still in a soft pocket. Both were before I had a true 2wd and was running on an Open Diff.

tire pressure it key...if you're having traction problems, AIR DOWN!!! 12-18lbs in the rear on most trucks/SUVs will do, and in lighter mini trucks you can go as low as 8psi without a problem.

Just remember to air up before you make that long drive back to LA!!

I saw another cam further down, not sure if it was the one or not, the angle didn't seem right - but I could be wrong.

Yup, the one further down...
