Those sand ladders look great. How much did you pick them up for? I just did a search and found some for $125!!! I hope that's not the usual price.

I've driven on the beach at least once a week for the past two years and haven't been stuck before (knock on wood). I've driven the X through some DEEP sand before with a lot of people and it handled great. I have the standard BFG Long Trails and never let out any air pressure in the tires. The Xterra is one awesome vehicle for the beach!

It would just be nice to have something like that to keep in the car in case a friend were to get stuck.
