I have one of those mini air compressors that plugs into the cigarette lighter but I also have air shocks on the rear that I can use the compressor to raise the car by 10cm or so. Heres my car going up a sandy track (video doesn't really show the incline) in Australia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dz3JHXYmXuA with the shocks raised up and the tyres aired down it made it easy.

My tercel was better in the sand than the corolla. I didn't use extra low as I found it spun the tyres to much and dug in.
