Wow, I didn't see that many! I did help a Canadian jeepster that removed his whole valve stem and didn't know how to put it back in lol (Twiddy rentals)
I always have a Schrader valve tool with me at all times!

Yes! My country girl who was kept in check. Some guy pulled up beside me in his jeep and asked if I needed help or a tow. I just said I got this.

Love the beach above Corolla and the horses! Going for a whole week middle of October to a house in Carova Beach, looking forward to it!

I’ve always thought the e-locker would be perfect for sand.

I thought so also, mine didnt work great in my F-150 I had to use 4x4 with tires Nitto 295/55/r20 MT tires. My Lunchbox locker does work great with my wrangler and sand turning 35/12.5's. Im guessing weight of the truck played a big role for it not helping out

I never had to use my elocker in the sand dunes over at Glamis. Went out the with a group of Raptors, never got stuck either. Aired down my worn out Toyos to 15 psi prior and kept it in 4H the whole time. Trans temps did start to go up at some point, probably too much wheel spin going up dunes, shifting due to low gears 3.55s with 35s, and my Trans cooler looks a bit beat down too. It was pretty hot out there too. Saw over 105 degrees by noon.
