I will never do that again.

Turned out it wasnt fun. I was stuck there for 3 HOURS!!!!

I see the problem right off the bat! That wreath you have on the back is NOT made for offroad!!! If you wish to take a 2WD offroad in the future, you MUST put an offroad wreath on it!

Oh, and 2WD really, really, REALLY suck in soft sand.

lmao.

Wedging sticks and tree limbs under the rear wheels didn't get you out?

You need different tires for sand IMO

that yellow sand sucks. Me and a friend took his 88 Blazer 2dig out and he decided to try and go down a trail by the powerlines with that soft yellow sand. We got stuck 8 feet away from the entrance to the trail. haha. We had to call his buddy with his Sierra to help get us out.

nope, the sticks didnt work, and then we had boards, and those barely helped either, just had some guy and my friend help us out, pushing and pulling with his truck.

hmm obviously you need to choose a steeper sand hill to climp reverse works better and can usually get you out of situations easier when gravity is on your side instead of against it!

That sucks, but I guess if you are going off road you should expect to get stuck.
