Default 08' tow pig at silver lake sand dunes

Well. The trailer was put away for the winter wasn't able to take the ranger. And I was itching to hit the dunes for the last time. Went up mid October. October at silver lake sand dunes In Michigan is dead, which is how I like it. Plus the hotels get cheap. Decided the take the tow pig for its first time on the dunes. Was highly impressed. Made me decide the ranger needs a V8 now. Sorry way late on posting pictures. Hit up a bunch of mi brewery's also. And Ludington lighthouse. Was a nice trip with the wife

Nice!!! We have some decent dunes out here in Oregon i would like to take the truck out on, but I'm always afraid I'd get stuck. Been on the beach in northern Oregon, but that sand is mostly wet and hard packed.

I have a couple fiends that wheel on those dunes. Go for it! I refuse to wheel on mud anymore it's either sand or snow. It's my crack really. You can get stuck key is airing out the tires. When in doubt throttle in until you start digging. Then kick it unto reverse usually just pop right out.

With the ranger I spent most my time pulling people out and usually. Come right up where people get suck and don't have issues. Lol. Love that ranger it's insane little truck.

I remember that ranger, it's really badass. It is screaming for a V8.
The f150 looks great as well. How low do you set your psi to? Also, how does a set of all terrains perform in the sand? Looks like a lot of fun, you have me interested in going sometime.

She sure is begging for a V8. Have some other projects first then need to hop on that.

Psi was diff front to rear. If I remember right front was 13 and rear was like 11. Very unlike my ranger. Due to thinner sidewalls and weighs more for sure. Ranger I am usually 7-9psi.

The generals did very well for sure. I still prefer m/t in sand but they did very well for sure.

You really should go nothing more fun for sure.

Yeah, looks like a blast. I could shoot right across the lake on the lake express. Might have to let the kids get a tad bit older, but I'm putting this on my to-do list.
