That's the beauty of four-wheel drive.

You can get stuck in places that you can't get to in two-wheel drive.

Wasn't there a video showing a Hummer stuck on a tree stump and it had to be winched off by an old Jeep or Harvester?

Would ya get a look at that tailgate! I've never seen such a nice design.

FWIW, I don't think its really stuck. Sand looks pretty hard and not too wet. If it is stuck, nothing a little less tire pressure shouldn't fix.

I've done worse in my exploder on the beach in baja...

There are no tracks leading to where it is so it didn't eventually become stuck. Almost looks like it rolled into 4 precisely dug holes. Or did they do a 4 wheel burnout on soft ground?

I agree. Something isn't right with that picture. That's some hard packed ground there. Unless the vehicle sunk in place somehow, I don't see how that happened.

Eventually I noticed the gals have mud to their ankles... on dry ground. There's a lot more to the story.

That's classic right there!

Looks like a spot that at one time had a big-a$$ puddle on the appeared dry on the surface. It doesn't look like the beach sand we have around here.

That's quite a gun rack!
