The roof didnt help... I'm still stuck?!:biggrinjester:......

Awww... 2x4s didn't work either.

:paddleersmilie:The paddle didn't work either.

Here comes the winch.

How do you use a winch at 90 degree angle to the car? Are they going to have the cable go around the concrete barrier?

My popcorn is ready.

If he only knew how many people were watching him now! If he held a sign up to the camera with his number I could tell him for $200 I'll come get him out.

So how are they going to drag him out? Not backwards. Are they going to tow him forward and around?

Oooooooooohh over the triangle lol

I wish they had sound with this web cam.

Looks like the winch over the triangle worked! He is out... yay!

That was ballsy! I would have worried about the axels bending, but hey wat do I know I'm a fisherman not a tow truck driver.

haha, guess they did not see that big sign in the middle of the street. BEACH LAUNCH ONLY!

Made for a nice woop section, in and out, after a 12 hour day on the yak
:auto::icon_bs:

Should of rented a Subaru....

:cool: Gotta hate when that happens!!!:D

My bmw can not enter the launch either, i just parked in the 15 mins zone did my thing. I drove in, but i didnt feel comfortable so i drove out. :p to the loading zone... for fear of what happened to this guy.

They could have made it easy on themselves and just carried the car out.

Stupid Is As Stupid Does
 

Watched that show for 3 houre off and on. Every time the tried to move he cocked the front wheels and dug in more. What a rube....:sifone:

My silverado started to get stuck once when the sand was real "Fluffy" like that.I immediately stopped and dug out a little in front of the rear tires and no problem.Josh womps his Beemer in there all the time...

If you get stuck in the sand drop your tire pressure to 8 or so lbs. Any time you hit the sand you're tire pressure should be dropped considerably...just carry a compressor for the pavement.

I'm always surprised to see how few people know how to drive in the sand.

good to know.....my audi is awd always wanted to take it on a beach to see if i would get stuck

Backup the way you got in:luxhello:

Here is the time-lapse

I love those time lapse videos.

Hey Steve, how was your day off??:D

x2.
and don,t wait till it's buried to the axle

:luxhello:!
Ohhhhhhhhhh......I wish I could have watched this action unfold as it happened. Reading these posts right now laughing my a** off!

Funny now that he's out, but imagine if he'd gone out a tad farther, and the tide caught him that way. My first trip out to LJ, I towed another BWE member out. Even with an F350, I've gotten stuck. Tourists walking onto the beach, via the OUT side of the triangle, I had to stop and that was that. JOctane was there to pull me out, but now I'm in 4WD everytime.
I tow quite a bit, and keep my psi's in the 76 front/72 rear zone, so inflating back to those pressures from 8-12 would take 15 minutes in itself. Now it's in 4WD for launches. Never again I say.
I wonder if that's covered under the "extra insurance" from the rental comps?
I can imagine it now..."I was just driving along, when the tide came in"! :)

"off road" recovery rarely covered by any insurance or auto clubs. Sometimes it will cost you....had one at Crowley Lake.....$250.


Lesson well learned.....take your friend's truck!

If you don't get stuck now don't worry about it, but if you find yourself digging in drop the pressure before you get to the rim and you'll likely pull out like it never happened. I've passed giant trucks with huge tires in Glamis every year for the last dozen years, they forget to deflate before they hit the dunes and dig right in, meanwhile I'm in 2wd with 8 lbs of pressure and a :D . I usually stop to check if they've aired down, then lend them my deflators. I also carry a few tow straps and a winch...if it comes to that.

I bet you'd do fine with your 4wd and 25PSI...and it'd be enough to get you safely to the gas station so you can fill up quickly.

Speaking of tide, I saw a brand new 4 runner get washed out in Alaska in 1995. They got stuck in the clam beds and the tide came in...SOL. The tides up there move surprisingly fast, it catches people off guard. Sometimes it costs them their lives.

That's some funny ..... I did a AM fish and went to work at noon. Love days like this.

Cheers

Momentum is your friend in the sand. When it starts to bog keep on the throttle and turn the wheel to create new tracks for yourself. Then again if you are like most cars and have 1 tire fire your kinda screwed most the time. Gotta love the locker :D
