Forget the shovel.... and wheel plates??? Go get a good 12v air compressor and a tire guage and air down all 4 tires down to about 20 or even 15psi and in a real pickle down to 10 psi on all 4 and you can crawl out of very soft sand. You have a 4wd so you can go down to even 20 on just the rears and not have to air down fronts. (15 years of camping /riding in Glamis Sand Dunes) I know how to get unstuck from sand. Good luck!

Thanks for the tips.

However, the list above is the additional items to my existing gear.
I do have the heavy duty tire compressor and a special deflator tool.
I had deflated my tires on my old 4Runner, if you have read my old reports from the outings to visit Makobob's place.

I had bought what are known as Road Chews from Duluth Trading company (see my last report), but they were too small. Now I have a more heavy duty, longer and wider units.
I was down to 10 PSI, the last time I got stuck. The backhoe that pulled me out got stuck twice, before pulling me out.
The shovel will allow sliding the plates under the tires for better traction.

I bought a second tow strap which I forgot to list above.

Once again thanks for the tips.
