RE: STUCK IN PARADISE...
The next time you go in the sand, try airing down your tires to 15-20 psi and see how that works. You guys are correct, you need to have a wider footprint in the sand or your done for. I aired down my mickey Thompsons in some moguls that happened to be sand one time too 30psi and it made a huge difference.

Thanks guys for all the great advice - It's been raining - A LOT!! A storm moved in later that day, so all that sunshine turned into one dark-*** cloud that has been lingering over the islands which means MUD!!! This weekend is our 9th anniversary, I wonder if my wife will allow me to spend the day kicking up some mud and dirt - we'll see.
If I get stuck in some mud you know I will be posting it...
Thanks again.
Here's some pics of the Toyota pulling me out:

Dude! We saw that truck when we were there! We actually saw that and said "Damn we should have bought the green H3!" We tried to get a green 5-speed so we could get a camo paint job, but those were almost impossible to find at the time. It would have taken another 3 weeks to get one, and the trade-in on our xB would have dropped. There are alot of jacked up rigs in Oahu. My wife is really into them. She keeps bugging me to jack up the H3 like you wanted to. She talks about it all the time. SO, if you DO go through with it, you need to let me know what kit you put on. I told her we would just come to a compromise and I'd get some big tires for it! I still need to fit into my parking garage at work.
Congrats on your Anniversary by the way.

Yeah fine...All I want to know is Ink; 1. are you gonna get that bumber replaced?, 2. did you have the spare on, and if you did, how did you not crush the tailgate?, 3. did you ever clean all that damn sand off your dash and vents?...These are the things that have priority..not some silly *** looking 4X4 with a camouflaged paint job that looks like a mardi gras rainbow coalition parade reject.
