The other key thing to do for easier travel over sand is lower your tyre pressures to widen tyre footprint. Whereas you might normally run tyres on road at 32-40lbs, lower them on sand to 20. Big difference. Some boys even run them down to 12-15lbs but then you must be careful not to spin tyre off rim. For this option you need a little plug-in tyre inflator pump..pretty cheap.

Lowering tyre pressures to say 25 something we oalso often do say for lumpy terrain/river work - gives you a softer more rolling ride. Leave tyres fully inflated for snow/ice/slippery condition.

As for getting stuck up to the sills like that - this is called learning!

Yeah this, not just for sand for everything off road bag the tyre out.
We run 10 psi in the bush trucks with beadlocks and 2 psi in the trials truck you want that tyre bagging out for maximum traction.
