The tires are fully round. They didn't air down , that's why stuck. I've pulled a few guys out with my Blazer and help dig and push others out when I was not driving the beach myself and every time I asked , they all had not aired down. I once saw a kid get his fathers 4 wheeler stuck out at Smith point nantucket and he was real low on the side near the pond. He would have gotten swamped when the tide came in. No permit , brand new vehicle with the sticker still on the window. He hadn't aired down at all. We rescued him and he took off without even a thankyou!

a$$wipes - it's stupid stuff like that in Hawaii and what Saltheart saw out at Smith Point (over by the Crooked House, eh?) that actually gives the "save the bird & beach murdering fisherman" crowd a slice of legitamit ammo to use against us...

these vehicles are in astraylia  the ARB is a air locking diff that can either go in the front diff or rear diff of most vehicles or 4x4.and can be activated seperately or in conjunction. meaning you can lock the two wheels up front or the rear wheels in back seperatly. |

If I don't have anything to do with the water, It ain't worth doing.

On my last trip to race point this year . I was heading onto the provincelands when I come across a car turned sideways blocking my way over the 2nd hill . Just me and an old couple ( who own one of the cottages at the mission bell ) there to help the guy out of this . No permit , didnt air down , no equipment , NO CLUE . Along comes the ranger and between me and 2 rangers we cleared him out fairly quick . His new wife ( honeymooners ) tried to pass me some $ but I declined the offer . It was my Boy Scout duty plus I wanted over this hill to the water for to fish . Last year a knucklehead tried to pass thru to high head after a big blow and moontides . Needless to say he was craned out of the water, big $$$ spent for being STUPID .
