A couple pics of an attempt at climbing a rather stubborn sand dune.

An "attempt". So I guess you didn't make it up?

Nope. You had to make a hard left turn at the top and I couldn't get that done. Anything to the right and it would have rolled into a pond. Then again, I didn't air-down, nor did I try it in 4lo.

Put some of those stickers closer to the front and maybe the added weight will give you some more traction up front! :p

I know, just kidding around. I got stuck with my first Toyota in some sand like that, didn't air down either and just sunk right in. Gotta love Hi Lift jacks, wish I still had it.

4Lo might have done it for you if you had the clearance, keeps your wheelspeed down so you don't dig in too quick, not to mention if you have an automatic you are less likely stall out the torque converter.
