Fun in the sand

Well after installing my rear disc brakes My cousins from IL were here and wanted to go up on the dunes. So we went. Here are some pics form the fun. I might have gotten a little stuck for the first time up there. Luckily a newer F-150 came along. Just a little tug and she popped right out.

here's the pics

yeah thats part of the reason I was stuck. I hesitated just a split second at the very top cause I couldn't see anything but sky cresting. I like to keep all 4 on the sand. I have climbed that hill many times but it changes every time the wind blows.

I have launched mine several times all 4 off the ground but don't try to do it often. It lands smoother than you would think. Always front comes down first, Can't figure that one out. LOL
