Multiple Stuck Vehicles at St Augustine Beach!!

[@TwistedWarthog]

It's hard to believe how many people get stuck in the sand. Some new cars are like they have their own mind with the damn traction control. Good video Wes!

[@jpilone]

This video came up when I searched for driving on St Augustine Beach! I then fell into the rabbit hole of your videos and spent 3 hours watching them casted to my TV! I am moving to this area 5/2025, and have a F150 Tremor, and your videos inspired me to want to outfit it to also help stuck people on the beach! Would definitely love to catch up with you when I move there!! -Jarrod

[@4x4rescue74]

Awesome, love to hear it 👍

[@taylorshiver3284]

The guy in the first car scooting forward while driving the stuck vehicle like it would help cracked me up!

[@KhalidK-d-de7lu]

I am a man from the Arabian desert. I have a piece of advice. You can drive in the sand even in a Camry. Just make the tires inflated from 8 to 10.

[@badman187ification]

Yea, your too nice lol. Those a1 guys are vultures. Preying on people out having fun. What other beach do you see tows running up n down all day. None, because sand people help each other. If they got a specific call, I get that. But they watch and wait like scavengers. Jmo!!!👍👍👍✌️

[@adirondacksxss9156]

its amazing how many ppl get stuck on the beach, but then again alot of ppl cant handle driving on dry pavement let alone on dry sand. keep up the tugging enjoyable to watch

[@timh7368]

Just found your channel. Love it. Love what you do from a new Jeep Wrangler rubicon. Can't wait go sand. Keep up great work

[@mwolkonsky]

I love watching the recoveries cuz I love success stories

[@davidshea6843]

Awesome. Seeing your knowledge and how you explain. Keep it strong

[@walterbryan1798]

Tha capability of your Gladiator doesn’t cease to amaze me. It’s well-built and perfectly suited for these tasks. Also, your RC Gladiator pushing the guy’s beach cart had me laughing, haha.

[@TrailsNThings]

OMG dude you are a trooper. After going to Texas and then jumping right into St Augustine you have to be exhausted. I’m in Tampa and can’t imagine making another stop on the way back. His bless you man!

[@janielperez6704]

Love the back to back videos! Thanks for sharing, there is a lot more than just a 4x4 to get across that soft sand. Wheel speed, air pressure and no traction control

[@rockywigg7882]

Loved the video being a woman learned many things about driving in the sand. Never knew to deflate tires. Also was excited about the new tire inflator being made by rhino will definitely check it out when it comes available. Hope to see you around palm harbor area one day.

[@4x4rescue74]

I get out to the causeway once a month or so 👍

[@rockywigg7882]

Awesome I will try to get out to see you. Thanks

[@realbob6669]

Cones as traction boards! 😮 Was funny!

[@chrisatch22]

Just picked up my first Gladiator a week ago and 12 hours later I had it out at Crescent Beach. Buddy of mine told me about your channel and you definitely got a new sub! Love what you’re doing 🤙🏻

[@4x4rescue74]

Welcome aboard!

[@wrhae-walkrunhikeandeveryt5997]

I am planning going to OBX, NC for beach driving with you video I have learned a lot not to get stuck. Traction control off, set transmission to sand mode, deflate tires to half tire pressure, extra can of gas. 👍

[@4x4rescue74]

Have fun!

[@FBIbeats]

Very cool. What a strange thing that X drive pulsing huh?

[@4x4rescue74]

These newer cars can be a hassle to figure out traction control. They all have their own little options.

[@ppkscott]

Just used your discount code. Thank you. Keep the videos coming

[@coffee-dogg]

Another great video, awesome tip on the compressor motor. I am wanting a four way hose, I can't wait to see what Rhino comes out with.

Then daytona cool videos can't wait for the next one every weekend keep them coming 😊

[@jamesmccall1745]

This is just a common factor with this sand or basically all off roading of sorts lack of thought control use of common sense but like you my friend we smile sort of chuckel under breath and say how can I help or I can get you out . To confirm traction control is not a fix all it has has its designated uses and if you read preferred uses you will find that 4wd or and isn't one of them and you my friend are very nice in letting people know this. And as have said I the past your videos are very educational in learning the do's and dont's in all kinds of these situations and that's cool. People can watch these videos and learn and possibly save them self some stress and your so nice to people and that's so cool cause people are already in a mental stressful situation and embarrassed and you smile and try to make it fun and make people smile in the process. This is the only way to be we smile and turn a stressful situation into a better one. This content is so fun love it. Keep on keeping on my friend see you on the next one. Look forward to the jeep beach videos. And just saying that wagon would have never made it without the push from the rc power push awesome.

[@drobs7279]

Nice work Wes! I was disappointed when I went there on a weekday. None of the locals were stuck.

[@4x4rescue74]

Has to be no rain all week and a hot Saturday for people to get stuck.

Like watching your videos

[@kaseylewis8625]

Damn my dude had to pull them both out at same time awesome 👌

[@trackerpro07]

Can't figure out why people try to take small cars out on the sand. Great video.

[@voxel999]

south of Ormond beach any car can drive on the packed sand but folks probably get cocky and think the 4x4 only warning doesn’t apply to them because they have AWD.

[@txmopars]

I so need to get my truck to a beach!! That looks like so much fun!!!

[@4x4rescue74]

You should!

[@MrEric12267]

Id sit back and laugh oh I. mean watch till they gave up them help them and show them all the things they can do next time. 1st thing would be to leave your 2 wheel drive cars in the parking lot. Have a good one brother. Love your videos

[@rivlake]

Moved to Jax last summer and I have been to this exact spot many times in my Black Widow F150. No way I am taking my wife's xDrive X5 onto that beach. I have however seen that stretch of beach smooth and compact like a parking lot after some big storms and tidal surge but that only lasted about a day. Where are the guys at the gate checking for 4WD? They have always been there when I was driving on.

[@KarrySimpson-hm6xk]

Great videos and learning a lot

[@4x4rescue74]

Glad to hear it!

[@taylorpj2121]

That made me nervous seeing that chain on that tow ball.

[@timjchick]

My NAPA twin air compressor airs up my 35’s from 15psi to 25psi in about 20-25 seconds. It’s a beast. I even run a small airsaw off it.

[@johnvega6241]

Nice work as always!

[@KarlaPereira-x2g]

Just found your channel and live in St Augustine with a gladiator. Just replaced tires and looking to get new bumpers with winches to help out. Could you do a video of the best tow points on different type of vehicles?

hahahaha the small jeep on the hood nice touch to close the video!

[@lesfaust9634]

Hahaha..that first one was definitely a full pull!!!... I can only imagine the dead weight trying to pull out an electric truck

[@rbljackson]

Just subbed to the channel. we used to go down to Padre Island National Sea shore here in texas a few times a year. That's another place where you better be prepared. There isnt as much assistance available down there, and you can be on your own 50 plus miles down a beach. And there is only 1 way out, and the return trip is all the way back the way you came in. I think its 60 miles down if you go all the way to the end. We like to Land Based Shark fish (LBSF), so its nice that its that long. We can get away from the masses of people that tend to stay on the first 5 miles of beach. Hoping to get in on the giveaways, that gear is always useful and its good to be prepared. My next purchase is going to be a set of Max Trax boards.

[@4x4rescue74]

Nice man, I was out at PINS the day before this video. Might be back out there in a month or so

[@keithgehrke3588]

I spend a lot of time on the Beach in St. Augustine and it amazes me what people try!. Question, I need to replace my BFG’s what Tires are you running? Thanks~

[@iloveramen]

Hold the traction control button for like 20 seconds and it completely disables it

[@larryhulsey5404]

Man what fun times. I never understand why people still hook chains or any recovery gear on a tow ball.

[@josebazan8603]

I have same air compressor; get some GONESON Tire Inflator Nozzle with Clip, Air Chuck Quick Connect for Tire Inflation, Tire Air Chuck with 8V1 Standard Thread,(Pack of 4pcs) for air deflators and a single one for airing up. It saves a few seconds screwing it on.

[@4x4rescue74]

Rhino sells multiple air down options, I use the key chain deflators or rapid deflator

Hey Wes, I see you are running the Baja Boss M/T and was wondering how many road miles you accumulated on these tires. I'm considering purchasing these but am unsure about tread wear on a M/T on your travels from Florida to Texas.

[@4x4rescue74]

I’ve made that trip and other a few times now. No noticeable wear, I do rotate them every 3-5000 miles. On my third rotation now

[@paulsuilven]

Anyone dropping tire pressures? How low can you go on regular road tires?

[@4x4rescue74]

Depends on the weight of the vehicle. Heavier trucks will squat at a higher psi. Diesels around 20psi Half tons around 10-12psi Cars 12-15

[@jymesbynd4931]

seems like they may need to required 4wd on that beach? or are we just seeing the soft spots?
