www.newere4x4.com I drove up to Pismo Beach to pull stuck people out for the fun of it. It was a slow weekend but as usual a lot of people were getting stuck.
I tried several straps and tow ropes over the years. Now I use the Smittybilt CC120 Snatch Strap - 17,000 lb cost around $50 bucks and works for most the vehicles in your video. It really works great in Pismo/Oceano dunes, because it acts like a huge rubber band. Less wear and tear on your vehicle. You really don't need to spin your wheels when pulling someone out if you let the strap do the work. Go for show, but not go...as you found out!
Tip: When using a snatch strap, use a bit of momentum to your advantage. Pulling the strap taut then gassing it is a sure-fire way to dig yourself four holes. It looks impressive, but it often results in two stuck trucks. Pull the slack out, back up a foot or two, then goose it going forward again. Let the strap stretch and the momentum of your truck pull the stuck vehicle out. I'm not talking a hard yank, just a bit of a bump to get it moving. It's what those straps were designed to do.
You need a better tow rope. I got mine from a retired Edison lineman. It's awesome. It's 40' long and you can back up to the other guys bumper and floor it. No jerking. It stretches like a rubber band and pops the guy right out. Especially when they're stuck in the mud. And besides, my Rubi doesn't have a turbo, so I need a little more leverage. My F350 4x4 couldn't break this rope, so I'm sure my Jeep wont.
35" Mud grapplers look beastly on your rig. They honestly look about as big as most 37s. They seem to do very well in the sand considering they were designed with mud in mind. After seeing the video I am seriously considering running them now on my 2013 2 door JKR (4.25" suspension lift, flat flares and no more pinch welds, 2" body lift). I plan on running 37-40" tires on it.
Like he says, most times vehicles will pop out fairly easily. Your biggest concern is traction and a suitable snatch strap. A lot of people think bigger is better but it want 'snatch' if the vehicles aren't heavy enough.
very good why you know what you have to lower the air to the tires, but you do not know, that the more your tires turn the more you sink and get stuck. the wheels do not have to turn a lot, it does not help that they turn too much, you just sink more.
@powndpuppy Dana 44 to be exact. With the strap I am limited by the owner of the vehicle that I am pulling. Not everyone wants to be jerked out. This strap is also not that type of strap, it's a cheepy. The nice straps are built for a running start.
That the most badass fucking Jeep I've ever seen. I lived on Hatteras island (N.C.) for a few months and I can't remember how many people I had to tow out with my Tundra Iforce 5.7. Of course, my tires stayed aired down to 25 on back and 27-30 up front.
I know the sand in NJ is like gravel compared to the powdery sand in Pismo. Long Island must have some crazy sand if its worse than Pismo. I hope to see it some day.
Not to criticize but putting the gas down to the floor made you get stuck. LOL. I am from South Africa and I have a 2.8 Diesel JK and in 4 Low I towed guys out without giving it that much juice. Low and Slow is the best way to get any stuck truck out. But still enjoyed your Vid buddy. Love the fact that you displayed the awesomeness that is JEEP. The best ride in the world. Keep it real
In the dunes I do believe it is required but I have not seen it enforced as often on the cars/trucks. Flags are cheep at Wal-mart so just buy one and zip-tie a 4 foot section of it to your radio antenna. Also air down to 10-12 psi and you'll be set.
They should have a sign at the beginning of the beach approach warning people to let some air out of your tires before entering the beach to prevent getting stuck. And holding her wild open to pull people out ain't really the way to do it. Although it worked for him most of the time I'm surprised he didn't get stuck more often than that one time. Looks like he was having fun tho.
+Hank Hill his light weight and fat tires helped keep him from burying himself too fast. A steady pull without spinning the tires would have worked better.
endocry Just an FYI. The ideal tire pressure is going to be dependant on your vehicle weight AND the size of tire you have. Rule of thumb is 20% squish. In other words the rim of the wheel will be 20% closer to the ground when you deflate. Do this before hand. Do your measuring and then check your pressures when you are done. Then you will know what your ideal pressure is.
Don't know what the sand is made of in America but every beach I've been to in Australia you see 4:17 as the result of flooring it with no slack on the rope (car is trying to pull the load off the bat without gaining momentum first.) Also what's up with all the people bringing huge ass caravans onto the beach?
Yoshi Yes for sure eeds to use a snatch strap and momentum I found the sand in the states is quite coarse and some places you can just drive a domestic car on the beach. Yea large caravans to the beach how funny. I tow a camper van and tow with a Jeep JK Fraser Island again next week
They could help. In that case they could keep one tire from digging a hole faster than the other which would help maintain equal ground pressure on all tires.
@JustForEmpire many people just refuse to air down. I can say that east coast sand is not the "baby soft" stuff we have out here. But that is based on my limited time on the east coast. I will be out there again in november.
Yeah in gear with a LITTLE gas helps in the sand, a lot of gas usually sinks them deeper. Thats why the white truck/trailer in the beginning of the video with the four other truck was so stuck. He should have left it in drive with only a little gas, not spinning his tires to pop up onto of the sand.
when i lived there i knew some guys who did that on the weekends and would charge like 5 bucks a tow, or lunch if they were cooking back at camp or something... they would have fun all weekend for free.
What amazes me is that the park service doesn't police users to ensure that they have the proper equipment and knowledge. On the New England beaches I am familiar with, vehicles with locked 4x4 only are allowed. Equipment needed for a beach use permit include a low pressure tire gauge, high lift jack and jack board, shovel, tow strap, chain, etc. Unless you've tried it, you'd be amazed how much better you can travel with aired down tires. Each truck/tire combo performs a little different, so you need to experiment a little to figure out the best pressure to drop the tires to. I had one set of narrow heavy duty tires on my F150 that wouldn't start to float on sand until they got down to 12 psi. Once I found the sweet spot I had no issues.
you need a recovery rope--bubba rope amsteel and others even ARB makes them it will stretch and bounce the stuck vehicle free. and you wont dig holes overcoming the initial inertia.
@hyper0mega Wow, someone had there Haterade today. Yes, a lot of the pulls are on or near the beach. Most people get stuck in that area so it tends to be where I find people I can help out. When I come across a truck stuck in a bowl I'll try to record pulling them out for you. I hope you enjoy your jeep. See you on the trail.
that thing almost sounds like a V8.... i know some people have the money to modify it like that but... nice jeep man! sounds like it has a turbo in there somewhere
Nitto Mud Grappler and it is the RIPP MODS SuperCharger kit for the 3.8L Wrangler. I have the full supercharger install on one of my videos. Check it out.
@NEWEREJK Yeah, you didn't rip out any bumpers or snap necks getting a run at it......I have two of the CC120's for the extra stuck vehicles. One for each hook/eye in the front. Pulling someone backwards...it's all about the hitch!
you obviously aren't that experienced on the sand if you think the "big ass diesel monster trucks" are supposed to be hard to get stuck. it's the little SUVs on all-terrain tires that do the best. mud tires dig in very quickly and make it more likely for you to get stuck. my 4500lb nissan on BFG ATs at 13psi is pretty unstoppable in even the fine sugary sand.
Nice video man! Like the way you have your jeep set up. Always wanted a jeep, but I'll wait till They put in a factory V-8!! :O Those people hook you up with some cash? I love driving my truck on the beaches of the Outer Banks NC.
My problem with jeeps is that everything for them is so much more expensive. It's stupid. I was going to get an 80's CJ Jeep until I started looking for parts and upgrades for it. Wow... I went with a K5 Blazer instead =(
here i use my f250 with mattraxx they work great but in the dunes i pull out the old but new (completely rebuilt with a cat diesel )boobed duec with PTO winch if it wouldn't get it out than its stuck
love the video and the captions. i love going out to the beach on busy weekends, just to pull people out. i also refuse to take any cash. i just like to "steal business" away from the guys out there that charge people. i always tell people to turn away the ones that try to charge money; there's always somebody that's happy to do it for free. :)
that dude is strong as fuck. did you see him pull that little john deere out with his arms?
I tried several straps and tow ropes over the years. Now I use the Smittybilt CC120 Snatch Strap - 17,000 lb cost around $50 bucks and works for most the vehicles in your video.

On a holiday weekend Pismo beach is full edge to edge with RVs, tents, 4x4s and dirt bikes.
if you go full throttle in the sand you will only sink. it is to accelerate a little, once you pick up a little speed you can accelerate fully.
You need a better tow rope. I got mine from a retired Edison lineman. It's awesome. It's 40' long and you can back up to the other guys bumper and floor it. No jerking. It stretches like a rubber band and pops the guy right out. Especially when they're stuck in the mud. And besides, my Rubi doesn't have a turbo, so I need a little more leverage. My F350 4x4 couldn't break this rope, so I'm sure my Jeep wont.
Yeah, that was a cheap strap i grabbed on my way to the beach. I had limited options at the time.
Turbo charged jeep.... That's sick!!! I love it.
That's cool to see you helping people out, not enough people like you out there.
I could watch this all day! I like the Jeep!!!

Sorry, I'm sure if you scroll down the answer is there but here ya go… The lift is 2.5", Tires 35'x17. The fenders really help it have a taller look.
I had the grey 2wd f150. Thanks for the tug since airing down 40 series tires still doesn't make 4wd. I told them to camp closer to the beach!!
very good why you know what you have to lower the air to the tires, but you do not know, that the more your tires turn the more you sink and get stuck. the wheels do not have to turn a lot, it does not help that they turn too much, you just sink more.
Oh man...I just got my jeep and want to try that. Great video..made my day.

I think the flat fenders make it look higher but it still looks badass!
Im lovin that Rubicon!! Thinking bout getting one for myself now
Do it!
Looks fun! We still havnt made any Jeep videos at the beach.. I’ve heard they want to close Pismo to 4x4ing so i guess i better hurry
That jeep is awesome! If I didn't need a truck, I'd want something like that.
I know the sand in NJ is like gravel compared to the powdery sand in Pismo. Long Island must have some crazy sand if its worse than Pismo. I hope to see it some day.
L.o.D. Off Road signature series.

i like seeing stuck trucks and jeeps good videos boggging down ti you get stuck, we all like that, please do more soon
I have a Jeep wrangler 4 door and I love it!!... Nice job man!!
The soft sand is deceiving. You won't know if you can get stuck until you're in it. Good job on the JK.
In the dunes I do believe it is required but I have not seen it enforced as often on the cars/trucks. Flags are cheep at Wal-mart so just buy one and zip-tie a 4 foot section of it to your radio antenna. Also air down to 10-12 psi and you'll be set.
That JEEP is a BEAST!
thats nice of you! That jeep sounds customized.

consaka1 Cool thanks.
endocry Your welcome.
@pime760 Yes, The jeep has a RIPP MODs Gen 2 Supercharger kit on it. The power gains are very noticeable.

u
igghgghhjjuuiu8
Yoshi 😂😂😂 Caravans my people. Sometimez. You just have to wonder!!
Yoshi here in america its called camping🤣
Always take an air compressor. If you air your tires down you can go much farther!
lockers are a must have if your doin any off roading!
@Tmstar5 Often a quick tug gets the job done faster but you are right... a winch is a lot cheeper than a transmission.
Nice jeep!! Sounds a little non factory to me. but you can't tell by the intercooler shining thru the grill!! ;) lol
Yeah a Hemi would be nice. Your right there is a RIPP Mods Supercharger kit on it.
What a great week-end....a jeep...stuck trucks...and oh yeah.....a jeep.
That jeep sounds really nice
@NEWEREJK Ahh thanks. I have a wrangler of my own and I'm starting to get some stuff added onto it. Yours is really nice!
They could help. In that case they could keep one tire from digging a hole faster than the other which would help maintain equal ground pressure on all tires.
I was at a beach and my lifted Silverado with big nitto grapplers was flying through no problems
That looks like a lot of fun.
I do that with my cherokee when it snows. drive around and pull people out. Its good times.
nice jeep too!
Those nittos dug deep in a hurry haha
I had an 01 TRD 4wd Tacoma. That was a great truck.
Lol when he pulled out the john deer with his hands on the rope that was funny as shit
@JustForEmpire many people just refuse to air down. I can say that east coast sand is not the "baby soft" stuff we have out here. But that is based on my limited time on the east coast. I will be out there again in november.
We're headed there this weekend!
Thank you. that's a beautiful jeep.
Yeah in gear with a LITTLE gas helps in the sand, a lot of gas usually sinks them deeper. Thats why the white truck/trailer in the beginning of the video with the four other truck was so stuck. He should have left it in drive with only a little gas, not spinning his tires to pop up onto of the sand.
That jeep has to be super charged all motor does not make that noise
noobtoob nooby Yes, RIPP Super charger.
NEWEREJK sounds great
NEWEREJK to o
its a ripp turbo charge
+noobtoob nooby i just saw the extra cooler in front of the radiator.
when i lived there i knew some guys who did that on the weekends and would charge like 5 bucks a tow, or lunch if they were cooking back at camp or something... they would have fun all weekend for free.
that jeep is a beast... though I don't like jeeps, I still respect the brand...

Jerry Doolittle that would take away all the fun of going there. 😉
LMAO! Well, it might take away from your fun, but I'll bet the people who keep getting stuck would enjoy it more.... ;-)
you need a recovery rope--bubba rope amsteel and others even ARB makes them it will stretch and bounce the stuck vehicle free. and you wont dig holes overcoming the initial inertia.
the sound of a supercharger !
3k never sounded so good
Yeah, most people just need that little extra to get out. Give it a try it's a fun time.
Yes. 17"x 8.5" with 4.5" back spacing.
@hyper0mega Wow, someone had there Haterade today. Yes, a lot of the pulls are on or near the beach. Most people get stuck in that area so it tends to be where I find people I can help out. When I come across a truck stuck in a bowl I'll try to record pulling them out for you. I hope you enjoy your jeep. See you on the trail.
ya should up grade your tow sling to a recovery rope.. either a bubba rope or a master pulll.. they streach.. and reduce the hard snap when pulling...
that thing almost sounds like a V8.... i know some people have the money to modify it like that but... nice jeep man! sounds like it has a turbo in there somewhere
The tires are 37" Nitto Trail grapplers.
Nice, I do the same with my J-20. You meet nice people, and it's a great way to make friends. ;)
Yes, it has a RIPP Mods supercharger kit on it.
Thought I recognized the whine then I saw the intercooler. I have a Ripp in mine also.
on those small trucks if u just have 3 or 4 guys help push u can get it unstuck pretty easy
I like how your jeep looks!
+Ian Rios Thanks! What model is yours?
+NEWEREJK mines a '16 jku got it about a month ago still saving up for lift and tires, and flats.
Sweet
I had the maroon Tundra. thanks again.
Yeah, I haven't been out there for a little while. I'll have to get out there zoo and say hello if I see you.
Man! Nothing like a good jeep!
Nitto Mud Grappler and it is the RIPP MODS SuperCharger kit for the 3.8L Wrangler. I have the full supercharger install on one of my videos. Check it out.
Your jeep is a beast!!!
Bad ass turbo jeep puttin in work
That's one hell of a jeep man.
Totally added big power, although the new 3.6L engine may be the better way to go.
Awesome 3:15-sec through 6:00 RIPP Supercharger all the way - best use of our kit!
@NEWEREJK Yeah, you didn't rip out any bumpers or snap necks getting a run at it......I have two of the CC120's for the extra stuck vehicles. One for each hook/eye in the front. Pulling someone backwards...it's all about the hitch!
@smidet 35" Tires, 2.5" lift.
you obviously aren't that experienced on the sand if you think the "big ass diesel monster trucks" are supposed to be hard to get stuck. it's the little SUVs on all-terrain tires that do the best. mud tires dig in very quickly and make it more likely for you to get stuck.
my 4500lb nissan on BFG ATs at 13psi is pretty unstoppable in even the fine sugary sand.
It's a RIPP Modd's Gen2 SuperCharger kit.
More cowbell!!
That is one badass jeep.
Ha-ha!! Just because it has 4X4 on the side, it don't mean that it is! Just get a Jeep, "beep-beep"
Nice video man! Like the way you have your jeep set up. Always wanted a jeep, but I'll wait till They put in a factory V-8!! :O Those people hook you up with some cash? I love driving my truck on the beaches of the Outer Banks NC.
4 low with the lockers on pulled some people out just idling. :-)
You need a boat anchor for your winch. You won't need your shovel again. Or a tow.
Thanks for the compliment.
The jeep sounds great!
when u stuck on sand..the RBM must be between 1500-2200 MAX
and the air on tier 10-15..try it
You should see the Mini-vans.
You don't need wheel speed most of those were able to be pulled out at a crawl
My problem with jeeps is that everything for them is so much more expensive. It's stupid. I was going to get an 80's CJ Jeep until I started looking for parts and upgrades for it. Wow... I went with a K5 Blazer instead =(
It went up by 2 mpg compared to not super charged. 12 maybe? It was a little over geared.
I've seen you guys out in pismo before :) You make me want to sell my 85 CJ-7 and get one of these bad boys
35" tires, 2.5" lift.
that supercharger sounds good!
here i use my f250 with mattraxx they work great but in the dunes i pull out the old but new (completely rebuilt with a cat diesel )boobed duec with PTO winch if it wouldn't get it out than its stuck
Love owning a Jeep
love the video and the captions. i love going out to the beach on busy weekends, just to pull people out. i also refuse to take any cash. i just like to "steal business" away from the guys out there that charge people. i always tell people to turn away the ones that try to charge money; there's always somebody that's happy to do it for free. :)
thats soo funny u pulling that stuck 4 wheeler with your hand
