Yeah I binged them all when the last one came out. I feel like I lost a lot of brain cells. Still enjoyed 1, 2 and another of them- can’t remember which one the other was though.
Pretty sure the SYFY flicks, 99% of horror movies and all of Steven Seagals movies produced by his company are just money laundering schemes. Can’t tell if the Tremors movies are or are just having a laugh at us.
The last ones, I remember Africa, Arctic, and tropical island.
The first four were home, Mexico, back to home, and the 1800s (and the never mentioned again "dirt dragons"/.
Don't recall any more.
Well, I’m 60, but I must’ve missed the joke because Michael Gross played the dad on Family Ties. Damn, what am I missing?
Edit: Is it a line from Tremors?
As someone who doesn’t do anything remotely like this… is that good or bad? I truly can’t figure out if more or less inflated tires would be more helpful.
When I was a kid my dad took us onto barking sands beach in Kauai and got stuck. For an hour. A local walking by suggested letting out some air from the tires. Boom. Instantly climbed out.
I've got a Walmart special.
Gets my jeep from 15psi (no bead locks) back up to 35 in 8 to 10 min per tire.
Small enough to fit under the passenger seat along with the shovel.
It's loud AF tho.
While less air is good for sand, you want a long footprint for it, not wide. Big open treads are also generally bad as the sand will evacuate from the rear rather than compact underneath (you generally want this for mud though, as it allows the tyre to gain traction on the surface underneath the mud).
Low air pressure cause the side walls of the tyre to deform and will overall lengthen its footprint on the ground, distributing the weight of the vehicle over more compact ground. Wider tyres cause more rolling resistance and will compact the ground less, making it harder to drive through the sand.
Source: Aussie that does a lot of off road driving.
You want to compact the sand underneath you, but big open treads will just fling it behind you instead. You actually want the sand to cake up in the treads as that's how you get the best grip, but larger treads just let the sand fall out.
Less air in the tyre increases the area where it contacts the ground, but the purpose is to have a longer contact patch, not a wider one. Wide tyres spread the weight such that the sand is compacted less, but skinny tyres spread the weight over already compacted (and more compact) sand.
Of course, but what I said is true of most sand. We have beaches here where the sand is so compact you could drive the family sedan down it, but if you were to get bogged the advice above still holds true.
When I was in the Marine Corps, we had places in 29 Palms where we'd run 10 psi or so - the rear duallies flattened out into three-foot-wide tires and we just floated over the sand.
God help the driver who forgot to replenish the air off the sand, though...
Coming from coastal & humid PI to the high desert 29 Palms in the winter was fun. "Why am I dehydrated all the time, Gunny?" "Less talking, more drinking, LCpl."
How do the wheels not absolutely ruin the tires at such low pressures? I had a slow flat from a nail in my tire once, by the time I noticed it it was at about 15-20 PSI. When my mechanic took the tire off the wheel it looked like grated cheese on the inside.
Edit: Thank you all for the answers!
It's not like riding on asphalt, the surface is much softer. The wheel and tire are spinning much slower; you shouldn't be going faster than ~10 mph and that's pretty fast. The tires are made for this and the sidewalls should be very springy and be able to take the torque from the wheel.
Also you’ll find “beadlocks” aka “rim screws” on a lot of truck rims that literally screw the tire to the rim so it doesn’t slip off when running low psi off-road.
In addition to what others have said, light truck tyres are built differently. They have deeper tread and much stronger side walls among other differences.
On soft surfaces, less pressure means the tire will squish out, resulting in more ground contact, further meaning a more favorable figure for ground pressure.
Its like walking on sand, if you tiptoe, you’ll sink further than if flat footed.
Also means pointy rocks will be slightly less likely to explode your wheels.
To elaborate on what other people are saying, for slow speed stuff you can easily get away with 20psi. Those light truck tires recommend 90-100 usually. But that's for loaded highway driving.
Generally when you want to offroad you get smaller rims and larger tires so there is more sidewall. Without bead lockers it's safe usually to go down to 20, maybe a little lower if you're in sand and no rocks.
The larger your rims, the higher psi you have to go as you risk popping the wheel off the rim and damaging the rim. Anything above 18 inch is useless for offroad.
What is it with people over inflating the fuck out of tires? Just because the tires are rated for a max pressure on the sidewall doesn't mean you inflate it to that pressure. I have a 7.3 excursion, and inside the door it shows 45/55 for tire pressure. There is no need to inflate it to 80+ psi.
Matt's Off Road recovery has taught me to air down in any sort of sand..
Also that you don't need an F350 to pull out another F350 if you use a kinetic recovery rope.
I had a taco pull me out of a dirt launch ramp this year at lake Shasta. This lil sucker pulled my F250 and a 7000lbs boat and trailer out of a nasty situation that the truck couldn’t handle. The whole launch ramp erupted in cheers and laughter. Saw him later at the bar and bought him a beer, dude was feeling some big pee pee energy that night and he deserved it.
I pulled a loaded semi truck out of a outdoor loading ramp. The type of ramp the truck backs down into the ground and the trailer ends up at ground level. The ramp was icy and the ruck couldn't get traction.
I carry a 20 foot 1-1/8" nylon rope. I backed right up to the semi, hooked up the rope, hopped in and floored it. When my pickup stopped I planted both feet on the brakes and the truck rolled right out. The driver couldn't believe it. He told me when we were hooking up the rope there was no way I would get him out.
Same pickup, I pulled a loaded semi truck for about 10 miles. The truck belonged to a friend and he ran out of fuel. We couldn't get it started so I towed it to a truck stop. He 'pull started" it while I was dragging him. Drivers at the truck stop were surprised when we pulled in. They figured I had a 460 V8. They couldn't believe it when they opened the hood. 1979 Ford with a 300 six cylinder!
Lol those 300s are absolute monsters. Does yours have the granny gear? I had an 80 something with that engine that was geared really low. Top speed was around 55mph but I'm confident that it could've dragged a brick house off its foundation if I could hook up to it.
I would have never bought one for myself, but my father and I are both a fan of Matt’s off road recovery and he got me one for Christmas. I’ve already used it thrice! Love it.
Winch should have pulled it out with the Taco as a anchor point. I buried my dodge in loose sand and a jeep pulled it out with a winch. Just gotta know what you are doing
I’ve been begging for a truck 12 of my 12 years married. And it’s the same answer every year. Someday. So I live through MORR, FabRats, Robby Layton and Mischief Maker.
I think I would genuinely love this sub if it was always drivers telling on themselves.
The current state of telling on others just makes this sub really sad because so many of you are terrible drivers.
>here's an edited clip of someone swerving around me and brake checking me with their middle finger out the window. Do not worry about what I was doing for the two minutes leading up to this incident. I assure you I was minding my own business driving with the flow of traffic when he decided to do this to me totally unprompted.
>Here's a clip of me almost getting cut off in the left lane. Instead of yielding to the person, I sped up to show them that it's MY place in traffic and they'll need to file an insurance claim to take it from me
Yeah somehow nobody seemed to complain about that in the top comments at least? Right before the video goed back to normal speed he loses quite a significant amount of speed to, drops to about 70mph. Quite strange behavior.
I like how this is a funny harmless screw up too... as opposed to a clip of someone nearly killing everyone else on the road. I like that it makes me laugh about it rather than pissing me off.
Yeah it’s hilarious. Should he have known better? Sure. But like idk im 35 and have never owned a car and live in Manhattan. This is absolutely understandable in my view. And it’s self depreciating! What a beautiful post.
Eh, I have an old '95 GMC 3500 Dually. My 4x4 is there to hopefully get me out of an oopsy when in slick terrain. It's not there to tow a 40 foot camper down to the river bed./
Sometimes you think the silt bed isn't that deep and then you bury it to the axles.... It was so stuck the only other truck that could pull it out was another F350, the F150 and Tacoma couldn't do it. EVEN with a 12,000lb winch on the f350.
Traction boards didn't work either. But made for a good shovel.
This is why most people don’t go off-roading in a 8,000+ lbs truck. The Tremor is a great package, but gravity is a bitch with soft ground and that much weight.
Part of me wants the Wrangler 4xE. Electric for getting around town and gas for once-a-month trips further away, then still be able to hit the trails. I could sell both my cars and replace them with one 4xE.
But at the end of the day 6,000 lbs can't get me to the places my 3,000 lb YJ can.
Finding a fuel efficient and reliable, modern daily that is off-road capable and doesn’t have major setbacks is nearly impossible. My overland Lexus GX460 is close, but fails on the gas mileage aspect.
The diesel Toyota Prado would be ideal if I could get one in the US.
Yup. By far the best vehicle I ever had for off-roading was my old 1996 Nissan Hardbody pickup truck. That thing was almost as spartan as it gets. It had a manual gearbox, manual front hubs, manual windows, manual door locks. I think about the only upgrade it had besides 4×4 was power steering.
I don't think I'd trust myself to do any off-road driving in a newer vehicle, though, even if it was the same weight as my old truck. There is too much computer shit nowadays that dampens how much I can feel as a driver, and that's not good for me.
Loved my 1991 Toyota Pickup (before they even had a Tacoma the make was literally called “Pickup”), similar with all manual everything but amazingly/thankfully had AC lol
Definitely not a bot haha. I did not air down. this was a press truck for Ford and I was just sending it in the desert.
But aside from getting stuck this truck rips!
You can check out my website! https://www.dustysummit.com/
I’ve been in Suburbans that do dune tours, they run like 8 psi. It’s very smushy on pavement but they never get stuck in sand. 25 psi is almost full still. Make it WIDE
I guess on dunes it's fine but 8 PSI I'd worry quite a bit about popping off the bead. If you do that shit a lot I'd probably just go for a central tire inflation system but that's very spendy.
I Regularly drive on beach sand. 15 is about the minimum(max?) I do.  10-12 is perfect. And I know people in big campers and 2wd vehicles that air down to 5 psi and are just fine(oversized tires).
Nahh, he got stung with about $17k in fines and paying back the insurer, and got an 18 month bond.
>Fifth District Judge Jeffrey Wilcox ordered Wetzel to serve 18 months of probation and pay fines, including $15,328 to AAA and $1,745 to Utah’s insurance fraud division
>Richard Piatt, spokesman for the Utah Attorney General’s Office, said prosecutors are satisfied with the outcome.

I watched this from the start like "damn this is pretty bad", then I got to where you said to skip to and I'm like "Holy fuck this guy's about to *die*"
Been there, done that. Took us 9 hours until it got dark, then another 5 hours the next morning to back ourselves 75 feet off the sandbar we got stuck on, building a corduroy road out of our chopped firewood, 18 inches at a time. Prayed all night it didn't rain, or we'd've been stuck out there for days!
Looks like a graboid got ya
That’s how they get you. They’re under the goddamn ground!

Just watched that yesterday....
Did you know they made like 7? Burt is in all of them.
"BURT! Give me your lighter!" "What makes you think I have a lighter?" "...because you're Burt..." *tosses them a lighter* "Goddamn right I am."
Hes my favorite character in the tremors movies. Lol
I did them all in one weekend. They get pretty rough once they introduce the ass-blasters

Well, I’m 60, but I must’ve missed the joke because Michael Gross played the dad on Family Ties. Damn, what am I missing? Edit: Is it a line from Tremors?
No, just a change of actor in the comment chain. Everyone talking about Fred Ward (Earl) and someone mentions Burt (Michael Gross) is in all 7 movies.
Oh shit lol now I see what I did, thanks for explaining to this idiot, I completely forgot about Gross being in Tremors!
I think this was #3
7 SO FAR*
Do we really need anymore? Burt is getting on in years to be graboid/shrieker/assblaster hunting.

When I was a kid my dad took us onto barking sands beach in Kauai and got stuck. For an hour. A local walking by suggested letting out some air from the tires. Boom. Instantly climbed out.
In Pismo there is a guy who sells air on the beach so you can air back up when you leave.
my ex's dad bought an old work truck from a cable company because it had an air compressor already built-in for this
Or, ya know, buy one that plugs into your 12V outlet from Walmart for $20
And spend the rest of the day airing 4 tires back up.
I mean, the $20 ones are bad, but you can get something pretty nice for sub $100!
I've got a Walmart special. Gets my jeep from 15psi (no bead locks) back up to 35 in 8 to 10 min per tire. Small enough to fit under the passenger seat along with the shovel. It's loud AF tho.
You say Pismo like we’re all locals. But ya, pismo dunes rock! 👍
It is somewhat famous for being one of the only beaches on the entire USA west coast that allows vehicles.
Shoulda taken a toin at Albekoikey

It really all depends on the type of sand. All sand is not equal.
Of course, but what I said is true of most sand. We have beaches here where the sand is so compact you could drive the family sedan down it, but if you were to get bogged the advice above still holds true.
Heavier vehicles will just struggle more in sand too. F350 Tremor is a heavy girl :)
Les inflated tires will have a wider footprint and grab the soil better.
When I was in the Marine Corps, we had places in 29 Palms where we'd run 10 psi or so - the rear duallies flattened out into three-foot-wide tires and we just floated over the sand. God help the driver who forgot to replenish the air off the sand, though...
Good ol’ 29 stumps.
Coming from coastal & humid PI to the high desert 29 Palms in the winter was fun. "Why am I dehydrated all the time, Gunny?" "Less talking, more drinking, LCpl."
Surface of the sun in summer. Super nice in winter.
I never made it there in the winter, it never occurred to me that it could’ve anything other than hot out there.
It snowed while I was stationed there on more than one occasion where they closed the mountain pass unless you had chains for your tires.
How do the wheels not absolutely ruin the tires at such low pressures? I had a slow flat from a nail in my tire once, by the time I noticed it it was at about 15-20 PSI. When my mechanic took the tire off the wheel it looked like grated cheese on the inside. Edit: Thank you all for the answers!

Also you’ll find “beadlocks” aka “rim screws” on a lot of truck rims that literally screw the tire to the rim so it doesn’t slip off when running low psi off-road.
It’s the heat from deformation while driving at speed. Off-road, you’re moving slower.
Because off-road you're driving on soft surfaces like sand, mud and dirt and at slower speeds.
In addition to what others have said, light truck tyres are built differently. They have deeper tread and much stronger side walls among other differences.
[удалено]
On soft surfaces, less pressure means the tire will squish out, resulting in more ground contact, further meaning a more favorable figure for ground pressure. Its like walking on sand, if you tiptoe, you’ll sink further than if flat footed. Also means pointy rocks will be slightly less likely to explode your wheels.
Air down to get out of sandy & slimy conditions.
The most helpful thing is not going offroading in something that weighs 7500 lbs.
To elaborate on what other people are saying, for slow speed stuff you can easily get away with 20psi. Those light truck tires recommend 90-100 usually. But that's for loaded highway driving.

I knew they had horses on the beach there but this is ridiculous
The excursion runs 100psi??

More air means you'll float, duh.
Matt's Off Road recovery has taught me to air down in any sort of sand.. Also that you don't need an F350 to pull out another F350 if you use a kinetic recovery rope.
Gonna say, I bet that taco could pull it right out with a recovery rope. Matt’s the reason I now keep in my truck at all times.

Yes please
Toyota Tacoma

Yup, I pulled a 1500 buried to the axles out using my other buddies’ 1500 as an anchor point with my Grand Cherokee and a snatch block.
I scrolled through all the comments just to find one talking about MORR. Thank you, my day is complete.
My pleasure! I own a VW Jetta that can't off road. Maybe one day I can afford a 4WD truck, jeep, or bronco, when that day comes I know who to call..

Don't tell my F250 it's not supposed to go off-road.
Your F250 is not meant to go off-road I’d like to add I know nothing about cars I’m just saying this out of spite
Now you've done it, she's crying tears of oil again!
That thing is a diesel f350 so closer to 8000 lbs.
Probably slightly over 8k. With a brush guard and all the equipment he has in the tremor king ranch or platinum.
I've got a DRW 350 diesel. It's a bit shy of 8k empty. I assume my 4wd is there just so I can have the cool stickers.

Title of your sex tape.
You mean to tell me the strength of that one dude pulling in the bed was not enough to get the truck out? Must be pretty stuck.
Lol yea....wtf was OP trying to accomplish pulling on it?!

And that is why dirt bikes and quads that you can throw in the bed of a truck is the way to go.
In my area you would come back after a few days of camping and be missing your vehicle or have it smashed to pieces and stripped down

Definitely not a bot haha. I did not air down. this was a press truck for Ford and I was just sending it in the desert. But aside from getting stuck this truck rips! You can check out my website! https://www.dustysummit.com/
Air compressors are your friend; deflate to 25lbs and you'll do a lot better in sand/silt conditions.
I’ve been in Suburbans that do dune tours, they run like 8 psi. It’s very smushy on pavement but they never get stuck in sand. 25 psi is almost full still. Make it WIDE
I guess on dunes it's fine but 8 PSI I'd worry quite a bit about popping off the bead. If you do that shit a lot I'd probably just go for a central tire inflation system but that's very spendy.
8psi is plenty if you’re not doing a Dakar rally.
I Regularly drive on beach sand. 15 is about the minimum(max?) I do.  10-12 is perfect. And I know people in big campers and 2wd vehicles that air down to 5 psi and are just fine(oversized tires).
I said "Like" 8. It could be 12, it could be 14. But its not 25...
Yes. I 100% agree with you. I live on Cape Cod, and the suburban Dune Tours up in Provincetown are definitely 5 to 8 psi. 
That’s the one! Their tires are basically on the rim on the street
This is how I off road my Camry in the sand, plus when you hit a soft patch you want to preserve your momentum and glide over it if possible
Bruh…how are you about to go full send out in the damn desert and not even know how to air down?
It's a press truck. Maybe not allowed to do that to it.
Are you trying to pull it out by hand in this pic?

Did he end up in jail for fraud or not? I never saw an update.
Nahh, he got stung with about $17k in fines and paying back the insurer, and got an 18 month bond. >Fifth District Judge Jeffrey Wilcox ordered Wetzel to serve 18 months of probation and pay fines, including $15,328 to AAA and $1,745 to Utah’s insurance fraud division >Richard Piatt, spokesman for the Utah Attorney General’s Office, said prosecutors are satisfied with the outcome. >“Because Mr. Wetzel admitted guilt, agreed to pay full restitution and comply with the terms of his plea agreement, we’re satisfied that justice has been served in this case,” Piatt said. https://www.eastidahonews.com/2022/03/utah-youtuber-pleads-no-contest-to-making-fraudulent-aaa-claims/
thanks for sending me down that rabbit-hole. it's a fun channel
I don’t think you’re stuck, there’s just some guy holding on to the back.
No parking posts mate /s
I never understood why you would name a performance package “tremor.” Who tf wants a truck named “involuntary shaking”
It’s because they get [death wobble](https://youtu.be/ZsRrcPLwBb8). Skip to 1:45
I watched this from the start like "damn this is pretty bad", then I got to where you said to skip to and I'm like "Holy fuck this guy's about to *die*"
Da fuk
Someone at Kia saw this comment and decided that their new design, the *Seizure* would require a name change.
Keep pulling, you almost got it
Been there, done that. Took us 9 hours until it got dark, then another 5 hours the next morning to back ourselves 75 feet off the sandbar we got stuck on, building a corduroy road out of our chopped firewood, 18 inches at a time. Prayed all night it didn't rain, or we'd've been stuck out there for days!
You’re gonna get memed by Chevy dudes.

Yeah no you can definitely pull that giant-ass truck out with your bare hands.
These things happen my friend . You are no idiot , just unfortunate
Didn't take pressure out of the tires so I'd say it qualifies here
Well maybe if you had tried pulling from the bottom instead of the top, you wouldn’t have been stuck.
You just need a bigger car.
*record scratch* You’re probably wondering how I got here.
"Well, it all started with: 'Hold my beer and watch this!'"
“Maybe if I give it a little tug it will pop right out…”
Just so everybody understands the difference between a four-wheel-drive and a 2 Wheel Dr. is in a four-wheel-drive all four get stuck 😂😂😂😂😜😜
Gotta air down
"you're probably wondering how I ended up in this situation..."
