Thanks Toyman! I aired down all 4 tires to 10 psi and drove all over the dunes for 4 days with no problems.... never got stuck. I pulled about a half dozen trucks, including my cousin's 1/2 ton '97 chebby twice I also drug my girlfriend's 1/2 ton 05 dodge up the entrance hill.... she got stuck on the way in

So sad. Sounds like you had a good time! Too bad I couldn't get up there to play. Not sure when the next trip will be now. But there will be a day trip soon.

All these people bringing knives to gun fights. I swear that some of the stuff on the dunes shouldn't be allowed up there! ESPECIALLY red Chrysler products with red tops!

nice lookin rig. makes me miss my red truck a little. after running MTZ's for a few years i found 11psi rear and 13psi front was the sweet spot between wheel spin and not enough power to turn them with the 5.4l.

hard to believe i haven't been to the dunes this year yet... this is the first year since i started going that i missed opening weekend, let alone half the summer. :/

Still plenty of time to go Brandon, closing weekend is always a good time too. Applefest, hill climb, random day trip......It's going to be so nice being only an hour and a half away from the sand now.

Don't be hating on my Jeep Mike, I know where you live.......
