4x4 choices for bikes and surf fishing... and family
I've driven my Jeep Wrangler on the NC outer banks beaches. It's
actually pretty tough conditions getting over the dune trails. I saw a Subaru getting pulled out of the deep sand - he was buried up to his frame, and two really big 4wd trucks were having trouble getting him out. Depending on recent weather, you might have to drive quite a distance through the softest, driest sand you can imagine, with really deep tracks that require good clearance. On the beach I see mostly 4WD trucks and "normal/large" size SUVs, not the small ones. You need to lower your tire pressure to 15-10 psi. Once you clear the really soft sand you can drive easily. There's nothing like the outer banks beaches - sometimes you can drive till you can barley see another vehicle, and have a mile of beach all to yourself. Other times it's like a parking lot of 4x4s. Not sure why. You can also ride a mountain bike along the hard sand at the water's edge, but the sand and salt are really bad for the bike... Brad -- rec.bicycles.off-road is moderated by volunteers.
