Appears to me that the wheels were spinning a lot during the last few meters. Perhaps the friction released frozen h2o trapped in the sand and helped in the buildup. Look at the first photo Fitz posted. The pack on the cleat is rectangluar or triangular. I'm not sure what this means.
Alternately, perhaps electrostatic forces caused the buildup. In cement manufacture, there's a ball charge added to the finish mill. Unless there's a chemical agent added (anti-packing agent, usually glycol), the dry cement builds up quite easily on the metal ball charge. Thought to be caused by electrostatic forces.
Did you ever see the show on National Geographic Channel about those that believe the moon landing was faked? The guys were pretty far out there.

We have a winner!!!!
Thank U.
Driving in to work the other day, I passed an older CJ that had this stencilled on the side:
H2 RECOVERY TEAM
We have beds of Coquina shell on the beaches here that will eat almost anything less than a Jeep in a heartbeat.
Anything with independent suspension is usually stuck, instantly. I always drive the old Cherokee around them a couple of times, before I pull them out, just to show who is still king of the beach, LOL
