If you have beadlocks, go crazy. If not, I noticed that with my tires I almost got my wheel off the rim when I went to 7 psi. Some guys went okay with it. I tend not to go to less than 10. And seatbelts - yeah. When I was a kid I flipped on the side with my uncle and if I had not wearing it I would have fall onto him, not fun.
We love sand hollow. Take a trip or 2 down there every year and it's lots of fun! Some good tips on this video. I prefer the Rock trails there as they are full of obstacles. Keep crawling
Great vid on Sand Hollow sand driving! Apparently, neither of these guys have ever rolled a Jeep?? Even though the JK is equipped with 3-point harnesses they either weren't being used or used incorrectly. Take it from someone who knows; WEAR YOUR SEATBELTS on AND off the road!!
Such a badass looking Jeep and than such beginner's dunes oO This is an invitation to Atacama, we have badass dunes here at the side of the Dakar route.
When I drive my gladiator rubicon on the beach do I always need to be in 4 wheel low? Can I use 4 wheel hi and start in 3rd gear? 1st is Ng. I can’t move. It’s a manual transmission.
Terry Britton usually 8-12 will be fine for most people. I usually use 6-10 psi for the bigger dunes we have in my area. Don’t drop too much or else you risk taking the tire off of the bead.
Or you can ditch the whole air down crap and get a TRD so you can use CC IF you bog down. ;) Don't have to worry about sand getting in past your beads or any of that crap. ;) We can bury the vehicle down to the frame front and rear and the CC will just walk you out. ;) So sand is not a big deal. Can drive smart and stay on top. Or have some fun and dig in and crawl out. Do not need aggressive tires either. Do not need max tracks or winches or hi-lift jacks for playing in the sand when you have a TRD. :) And that is the facts.
Wide tires are not best in sand narrow is and when you air down tires get longer more than wider. Now why are narrow tires better? Because when you drive in soft sand each tire is pushing a wave of sand in front of it and the wider the tire the larger and heavier the sand wave is and the harder it is to push. I have driven multiple types of 4x4's with different tires for over 30 years wide and narrow and the narrow tires alway were better. Does that mean wide doesn't work? Of course not, this video proves they do but not that they're the best Has anyone taken this jeep and put narrow tires on it and driven in the exact same place to compare?
I'll put my 30 years up against your 30 years, especially the five I spent in Dubai. The skinny tire theory sounds good, and works well in most terrain, but it falls apart in soft sand. When I lived in the UAE, we drove in the desert every weekend. I did try narrow (7x16) and then wider (265x75r16) on a 70 series Land Cruiser. I drove the same truck on the same dunes, at the same pressures (11psi), on two successive weekends. The 20 %+/ increase in width from the 7x16's to the 265's made a dramatic difference. The truck was much more capable, and for obstacles that both sets of tires would drive, the wider tires needed much less speed and were much safer and easier to control. The narrow tires could be made to work, but they wanted to dig in like the pizza cutters they were. And a narrow tire in the same diameter is by definition a smaller tire and cannot be aired down as far and still support the same weight. The difference was even greater when you aired the wider tires down further than you could air down the 7x16's. I eventually settled on 8psi in the front and 9 psi in the rear for the 265's. Increasing to a 305 or 315 was even more effective, but that involves an increase in diameter as well, and starts to impact power. My wife could drive her stock JK on the factory 265's anywhere she wanted to put it, but mine with 315's would do most of the same tracks in 2wd. I have read the Scott Brady article and watched the Andrew St Pierre White videos that you appear to be quoting. They are both very good at this stuff, but nobody gets it right all the time. Real world experience in a real desert proved to me that this is a myth time and time again over the course of a few hundred trips.You can go too far in either direction, but even a little additional width definitely helps in sand.
yahhhhhhhh i agree with Jonathan but will add one more point, it's always better to go with all terrain tires not mud terrain, as the bigger lugs tend to dig you in, as all terrains tend to deflate better with softer side walls they go wider
I run 8psi all around on my JK, here in Dubai. Generally they say newbies should go with 12-15psi. As you advance you can drop it lower depending on the weight of your car and your driving style.
I ran 8-9psi at silver lake sand dunes in Michigan. I was having problems climbing the bigger hills and a couple of local guys came over to help me out told me to run 8 psi I looked at him like he was crazy I didn’t want to blow a bead. He’d been wheeling there for 30 years so I tried it out and hand no problems the rest of the trip. I started out at 20 psi it was not good at all
Airing down and having a wider footprint is actually great since it allows you to float over the sand better, instead of digging in. Thinner tires would fair a lot worse in comparison when hitting the dunes like this. -Zach

Have You Ever Driven Your Jeep On Dunes?
That’s the guy you want to wheel with. Years of experience! They’ve always got the best tricks and tips.
Everything I learned the hard way is contained in this 10 minute video with this monster experience dude.
Fun video, you talked about airing down but what pressure range do you recommend? I would recommend using seat belts, it's just a best practice.
If you have beadlocks, go crazy. If not, I noticed that with my tires I almost got my wheel off the rim when I went to 7 psi. Some guys went okay with it. I tend not to go to less than 10. And seatbelts - yeah. When I was a kid I flipped on the side with my uncle and if I had not wearing it I would have fall onto him, not fun.
That’s where I live. It’s always fun to ride out on the weekends. They also have some cool designated crawling trails
Was just up at Oceano and the dunes, sand was awesome~!! Great vid Ryan.
You guys gotta come to Western Michigan and experience the Silver Lake Sand Dunes. There is nothing better! I guarantee that!
come to UAE
Jeep invasion I made a video on it
Xenogenion link?
You should visit Saudi Arabia for Real sand driving. Very fun. Im here if you plan to come and visit
Happy to guide you
hail no, this is USA
We love sand hollow. Take a trip or 2 down there every year and it's lots of fun! Some good tips on this video. I prefer the Rock trails there as they are full of obstacles. Keep crawling
But if you do nose dive in to the sand, call Matt’s Off-road Recovery 👍🏼💗😂
Great vid on Sand Hollow sand driving! Apparently, neither of these guys have ever rolled a Jeep?? Even though the JK is equipped with 3-point harnesses they either weren't being used or used incorrectly. Take it from someone who knows; WEAR YOUR SEATBELTS on AND off the road!!
I was thinking the exact same thing!
Should I drive with central difflock engaged on this terrain?
Its wise to use seatbelts while offroading on dunes, it can get nasty and you end up rolling
should have watched this video before going 😅 almost got stuck. are you driving up the hill using 4H or 4L?
Such a badass looking Jeep and than such beginner's dunes oO
This is an invitation to Atacama, we have badass dunes here at the side of the Dakar route.
Did you disable your Traction Control System before driving on the sand?
Matt's off-road is trying to save that area. Saw the vid today.
Save Pismo also.
Seatbelts?
That's what I kept thinking and worrying about
Aaron Kay they have just the bottom of the 5 point harnesses on
they have just the bottom of the 5 point harnesses on
That's what I was thinking. You have those nice 5pt harness and you're not using it? If not now, when?
There was one point where he went over the top too fast that they were both searching for them.😅
Thanks !!!!!..... love from Munich, Germany
Easy dunes . I’d suggest to visit Saudi Arabia to see the dunes.
Are you using 4wheel high? Or you only using 2 wheel drive?
You should check out Saudi Arabia Dunes or Dubai Dunes and drive on sands that your foot can sink in from how soft the sand is.
Is so much fun.
You are welcome to come to Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) and try dunes sand is soft you will have fun!
Truly wish my Jeep looked halfway as good as yours.
Never use automatic on the new jk use manual mode and use only 1 and 2nd using auto mode will just stress and heat up the tranny more
ALLWAYS .....FASTEN YOUR SEAT BELT !!!!!!......even while on the dunes!!!!!!😎🇺🇸
Videos are great ! Thanks for sharing !
Are you driving in 4wd in gears when driving in sand
Good information, i have jku in uae but not drove for extreme.
You guys should come spend a day with us in AFRICA!
Guys even didn't mentioned the gear combination. High or low while climbing the dunes...psss
Where can I find that skull decal ????
So when do we use 4hi 4lo 🤷🏻♂️
When I drive my gladiator rubicon on the beach do I always need to be in 4 wheel low? Can I use 4 wheel hi and start in 3rd gear? 1st is Ng. I can’t move. It’s a manual transmission.
Forgot to say. It’s a manual.
how they kill the death wobble on 2018 jeep Sahara JL
are you using 4high or 4 low? my understanding is that if you need some speed you need to be on 4 high right?
What if my car only has 4wd low?
What is it?
So ima noob but it’s not bad to rev high on 4 low , just worried I’ll mess it up haven’t paid it off yet lol
As long as you're off-road, there's no danger revving the motor higher while in 4-low. -Zach
how long would a full tank last doing all of that? a few hours??? loloooo. Looks fun, I would do it with my JK.
What tire pressure?
Terry Britton usually 8-12 will be fine for most people. I usually use 6-10 psi for the bigger dunes we have in my area. Don’t drop too much or else you risk taking the tire off of the bead.
The Wrangler is better than the Willy's 🖤❤️
I have a newby question, were you in 4 high or 4 low, or both at different times? Thanks!
John Knipp 4 high for sand and mud
SEAT BELTS?!
No seat belts. Not too bright!
Why would somebody put Warren Hub unlockers on an all wheel drive Jeep JK
Or you can ditch the whole air down crap and get a TRD so you can use CC IF you bog down. ;) Don't have to worry about sand getting in past your beads or any of that crap. ;) We can bury the vehicle down to the frame front and rear and the CC will just walk you out. ;) So sand is not a big deal.

I sub, you should get a Jeep...
Those decals on that jeep are cringe af
Hahhahahahahaha,.......an airplane with no wings!
on sand it should be between 17 and 25 psi . correct me if im.wrong
ATLANTIS B we run on 5 to 10 psi out here in Namib Desert
I run 8psi all around on my JK, here in Dubai. Generally they say newbies should go with 12-15psi. As you advance you can drop it lower depending on the weight of your car and your driving style.
zahrankhan in dunemont we air down around 8 psi
I ran 8-9psi at silver lake sand dunes in Michigan. I was having problems climbing the bigger hills and a couple of local guys came over to help me out told me to run 8 psi I looked at him like he was crazy I didn’t want to blow a bead. He’d been wheeling there for 30 years so I tried it out and hand no problems the rest of the trip. I started out at 20 psi it was not good at all
10 psi is my baseline.. lower if the sand is too soft
Like Justin Bieber
No seatbelts on, one hand driving? And no way you should be slamming your brakes on fucking sand
lots of bad advice. slam your brakes on soft sand and you'll dig yourself in. wider tyres are bad for sand.

@@extremeterrain Lengthwise footprint is what matters on sand, wider tyres have more rolling resistance.
Seat belts????🤷♂️🤦♂️
No seatbelts. That’s Dumb dude.
