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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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
@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.
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.
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.
what size tires do you have on that jeep.. i just got the new jeep rubicon 2013 and i want to add some tires similar to those just not sure what i can fit on a stock jeep i dont really want to lift it.. this is my first jeep ever and figured i go brand new but i have the hard top one
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.
When going up the sand dune hills, should i put the 4x4 on 4lo or 4h? What’s the speed limit i should do when aiming for the hills? Should it be about 20 mph on 2nd gear? Should i disable traction control when on 4h?
In this video demo we were lo most of the time. As far as getting up a sand hill momentum is key. It may take 4hi to have good speed just don't fly over the top. I'd manually shift and keep the traction control off. For the most part without lots of horsepower the hill will let you know if you'll make it up in sand or not.
@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.
Yes you can turn them on and off. they lock your left and right wheels to rotate as one giving you driving power even when one tire is in the air. Jeep Wrangler rubicons have them. Your liberty likely does not.
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.
@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!
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.
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
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.
@rumerboyz I did get a buck or two but I did not ask anyone to pay, they offered. I hear that the diesels are coming out in two years. I'm not sure if its true but I hope so.
Cool vid, awesome Jeep. Stupid question, but if you are driving in sand like that do you have to worry much about sucking in any sand into the engine? I suppose if you're aircleaner is good, you should be fine right?
I am also in California. I live in the valley so I am only three hours away from the snow, pismo dunes, and the desert. I love it but I dont have a Jeep yet to go play in. I mostly plan on going to the dunes. Do you think Ill be able to pull people out with the stock motor in the rubicon? I know you have a supercharge but I cant afford a supercharge.. haha
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.
@7150285 The video tends not to show the true angle of a slope. The guys with the ATV were afraid of getting cought in the fence next to them. But it is hard to see that in the video. I was just being helpful.
did you see a massive power difference with the RIPPS charger and have you come across any problems? I'm from Australia and looking at buying a jeep sometime next year and kind of just looking at all the goodies out there on the market
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
ive seen you out there before im a local i watched one or two of those in person i drive the flatbed on my profile have you seen me. i always go out there and pull people out.
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
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 =(
On a holiday weekend Pismo beach is full edge to edge with RVs, tents, 4x4s and dirt bikes.
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.

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!
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
@pime760 Yes, The jeep has a RIPP MODs Gen 2 Supercharger kit on it. The power gains are very noticeable.
It went up by 2 mpg compared to not super charged. 12 maybe? It was a little over geared.
@Tmstar5 Often a quick tug gets the job done faster but you are right... a winch is a lot cheeper than a transmission.
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.

The tires are 37" Nitto Trail grapplers.
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.
Yeah a Hemi would be nice. Your right there is a RIPP Mods Supercharger kit on it.
that dude is strong as fuck. did you see him pull that little john deere out with his arms?
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.

u
igghgghhjjuuiu8
Yoshi 😂😂😂 Caravans my people. Sometimez. You just have to wonder!!
Yoshi here in america its called camping🤣
I could watch this all day! I like the Jeep!!!
That's cool to see you helping people out, not enough people like you out there.
@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.
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.
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!!
Yes, it has a RIPP Mods supercharger kit on it.
Can you share what has been done to this jeep, suspension/ wheels, and info on the supercharger. Thanks
I think the flat fenders make it look higher but it still looks badass!
It's a RIPP Modd's Gen2 SuperCharger kit.
@smidet 35" Tires, 2.5" lift.
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.
Yes. 17"x 8.5" with 4.5" back spacing.
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.
@Ryann2891 Nitto Mud Grapplers 35", Black Rock Rims 17".
@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!
what size tires do you have on that jeep.. i just got the new jeep rubicon 2013 and i want to add some tires similar to those just not sure what i can fit on a stock jeep i dont really want to lift it.. this is my first jeep ever and figured i go brand new but i have the hard top one
You should see the Mini-vans.
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.

when u stuck on sand..the RBM must be between 1500-2200 MAX
and the air on tier 10-15..try it
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.

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.
We're headed there this weekend!
I have a Jeep wrangler 4 door and I love it!!... Nice job man!!
@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!
who is the best ford raptor or jeep wrangler ???
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.
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.
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
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...
Letitride555, I didn't see any lowered trucks. What are you talking about?
You don't need wheel speed most of those were able to be pulled out at a crawl
Yeah, 4lo with the lockers worked well.
The engine dosent sound like a 3.8... What do you have dont the the engine??
what kind and size of tires ya got on that? They kinda look like Tera Grapplers, but unsure if they are MT or AT.
im assuming that spool sound was a turbo?
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.
I was at a beach and my lifted Silverado with big nitto grapplers was flying through no problems
Oh man...I just got my jeep and want to try that. Great video..made my day.
is the sand super soft there? i go to the oregon dunes in my jeep an never seen that many people get stuck b4 lol
@rumerboyz I did get a buck or two but I did not ask anyone to pay, they offered. I hear that the diesels are coming out in two years. I'm not sure if its true but I hope so.
on those small trucks if u just have 3 or 4 guys help push u can get it unstuck pretty easy
Cool vid, awesome Jeep. Stupid question, but if you are driving in sand like that do you have to worry much about sucking in any sand into the engine? I suppose if you're aircleaner is good, you should be fine right?
thats nice of you! That jeep sounds customized.
How many of those knob-heads you rescued failed to air their tires down?
lockers are a must have if your doin any off roading!
how are xterras in that sand? didnt see you pulling any of them
I am also in California. I live in the valley so I am only three hours away from the snow, pismo dunes, and the desert. I love it but I dont have a Jeep yet to go play in. I mostly plan on going to the dunes. Do you think Ill be able to pull people out with the stock motor in the rubicon? I know you have a supercharge but I cant afford a supercharge.. haha
Do you think the 3.6 Pentastar would've needed or benefited from a supercharger in this scenario?
+avand18 The 3.6 used since 2012 really cuts away much of the need for the supercharger. It alone makes 73 more HP than the 3.8.
allright thanks how you liking it so far ? quick responce ? and sure will check it out
Fun Video. But that is the problem. If the city guys come with there street tires instead of MT´s.....
What size are you havin under that Jeep ?
depends, more power or better 4x4
I guess you did not see the TRD 4wd Tacoma that was stuck that he pulled out?
Totally added big power, although the new 3.6L engine may be the better way to go.
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!
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.
@The70Sixer I guess the beach would have gone motionless due to everyone being stuck in the sand. =-)
what is the break strength on that strap?
NEWEREJK What is you set up? I see the bushwacker fenders, I'm guessin a supercharger on the 3.6, and 35's but I cant make out your bumper
@7150285 The video tends not to show the true angle of a slope. The guys with the ATV were afraid of getting cought in the fence next to them. But it is hard to see that in the video. I was just being helpful.
did you see a massive power difference with the RIPPS charger and have you come across any problems? I'm from Australia and looking at buying a jeep sometime next year and kind of just looking at all the goodies out there on the market
35" tires, 2.5" lift.
Thought I recognized the whine then I saw the intercooler. I have a Ripp in mine also.
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
What psi should your tired be at for the sand?
there is a little something under that hood, what is it
Im lovin that Rubicon!! Thinking bout getting one for myself now
Do it!
I had an 01 TRD 4wd Tacoma. That was a great truck.
ive seen you out there before im a local i watched one or two of those in person i drive the flatbed on my profile have you seen me. i always go out there and pull people out.
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
Any work besides lift and tires?
What motor is in the Rubicon
20,000 I think, I'm not 100% sure.
No snatch strap (recovery strap)?
Newerejk, what kind of rear bumper you have on the jk
I was wondering how big your lift is on that jeep? 3in or 4in? Can never tell the difference & those are 35s rights
@The70Sixer A 85 toyota wont get stuck in this though
I see a inter cooler. Turbo maybe ?
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 =(
What front bumper?
What did he do wrong?
That jeep sounds really nice
2.5" with 35" tires. Teh flat fenders give it a taller look and more clearance.
what kind of rear bumper do you have on that?
