The only faces we'd be making is :rolleyes: and [/b]Well...you probably don't have too many sandy beaches over there in Colorado. :rolleyes: But over here, where the majority of wheeling is on the beach, that setup is perfect. The wider the tire, the bigger your footprint, and the easier it is to float on the soft sand we wheel in.
99% of the trucks that wheel over here, Nissan, Toys, Fords, Chevys, Jeeps, no matter what, have very wide tires. If you don't have 'em, you are stuck...if you are locked front and rear, then you might have a chance. The rigs with wide tires just glide right over the sand. Anyone with "pizza cutters" has the sense not to try taking thier truck on the beach...too darn soft!
A rig built for wheelin on rocks will be configured differently than one built for the sand. People over here understand that and build them accordingly. When they have the "4X4 Tour around the island" every year, about 50 or 60 trucks all get together, all makes and models, and do a parade type thing around the island and downtown Waikiki. Maybe two or three trucks will have 11.5 or 10.5's. The rest really wide. It took me a while to get used to it, but after getting stuck out on the sand 3 times, I've learned my lessons.
Funny how none of you people live and wheel under these conditions, but have so many negative things to say about what you don't understand :rolleyes:
