im gonna fill my truck up with gas so i have that little bit of extra weight but were not doin it on the road. i havent seen the place but he said its in the sand. when i hook up to someone, i dont do that 2 wheel drive stuff. theres no way of me knowing if hes in 4 wheel drive so i'll tell him mines in 4 low and he has the option of what he wants.

Have (1) foot on the gas and (1) on the brake. If you begin to spin your tires be ready for the brake.

Sand surface changes the entire picture. IMO, now its about traction

most defiantly let some of the air out of your tires so you have a bigger footprint and get more traction just remember to fill them before you go on the road.

if your hookin up in the sand let the air out of them bad boys...to like 15 psi...if he doesnt do the same you cant lose. (make sure you have an air tank with ya or atleast a gas station with an air pump nearby.

Yup... we don't care if you lose. I would still rather drive around in my nice F-150 that gets pulled around by a POS K5 than drive a POS K5 that can pull an F-150. Great... if he wins that's the only thing he has going for him...whoop-d-doo.
