J.P. I have a "PULL PAL" that is the same thing as your "sand anchor" but made for the Military and also for commercial use, and they work great in
sand or mud, or even rocks if you can get it to catch on one. The one drawback is that they are awkward to pack as the shank is about 4 feet long.

Don't know, Ken.
I have it on the "roof rack" in a locked metal box that it fits perfectly in that I got at a garage sale.

Roof rack? I'm taking the roof off in order to put my Jeep in a car show next month. David K keeps talking about Toyotas and Hondas, when Jeeps make
people drool at the drop of a hat.

Well, Ken, we all have different priorities. (-:
Jeeps ARE cool, no denying that from me. But the Japanese have certainly long-term proved the worth of their vehicles for reliability and shear
toughness and getting the job done. As a Conservative, I much prefer "reliability" to "cool", but that is just me. when I was in the market for an
ideal 4x4 in 2007 I looked at Jeep Rubicon's closely, drove them, compared prices, and finally decided on the Nissan X-Terra Off road model as the one
that most suited me and Meredith. We had also looked at Hummer H-3's, Toyota 4-Runners, Dodge Dorangos, Chev./GMC Tahoe's, but went with the X-Terra
and have been fully satisfied since.
But, I still like Jeep Rubicons and would love having one if I could afford 2 SUV's with off road competance. I have bad dust allergies, so that
mostly eliminated the Jeep with it's leaky plastic top from the competition.
