Thought this might get a chuckle here. Here is my son in his Ranger FX4 pulling out a Rubicon.
This is from our kayak fishing trip this past weekend at Padre Island National Seashore. This was taken at Yarborough Pass, 15 miles down the 4WD only shoreline.
Then we turned around and pulled out this 4 Runner.
Yarborough Pass is the pass though the dunes to access the bay, where we launched our kayaks to fish. It is only about 75 yards to get to the caliche' road on the back side. Problem is, the pass is completely soft sugar sand with a significant elevation rise and if you don't keep your momentum going it can get "embarrassing"......
BTW we did see a NICE black H3 with 33's cruising down the soft beach, not having a problem.

I wonder if he had it in 4x4 or 4 low?
He probably had 50 psi in the tyres
No More Greenhorns...
I took a group of people out in the desert recently and when I told a guy in our group to put it in low range he thought I was talking about the CB radio. When he tried to shift it it wouldn't go into low (because the body lift jacked up the linkage). We finally got it into low dissconnecting teh linkage by shifting it from the underneath of the Jeep.
