Bus Stuck in Sand

They come on sale for $289 once in a while.
Glad to hear you got out.

What goes in must come out.

Having gotten both of our coaches stuck multiple times, I can tell you without a doubt that if your tow vehicle is on good ground, you'd be surprised what can actually tow you out. My Toyota Land Cruiser could tow by bus in a pinch. 4wd low range and lockers will do wonders. I'm not surprised that a 350 pulled you out. That's a beast of a diesel truck.

Just lower the tyre pressure the same when in a 4wd
Sand and firm tyres don't like each other
If you don't have a retractable tag lower them more to try to get wight in the drives
Tearing out the carpet comes in handy at times but the partner will frown a lot

Use the 79 bucks towards a good jack,H/F stuff is ok for occasional use but not for the long run,I have 4 of the H/F 20 ton and use parts from 3 to make 1 work.Northern Tool sells 20 ton Chinese jacks but they are a up grade from H/F a lot better jack IMO.I saw 20 ton air/hyd jacks in the local Home Depot for a 100 bucks

I only buy from Northern tool if I can't get it elsewhere. Same quality as from other importers, but higher prices.
It may be them but somebody makes an air assist low profile 20 ton jack.

All the Chinese made stuff has a rating for quality I think G5 is the highest and the H is the lowest like H/F sales
