Lower your tire pressure to 10 or 12 lbs and you can run anything on the beach.I have seen BMW`s and Station wagens cruising down the beach in Corolla,Nc.

OBX guys
Hey you guys that are going down to OBX real soon, could I get anyone to pick me up one of the large window stickers for the back. I had one before and now changed vehicles. The one I had came from WINGS it was white stretched oval OBX about 2 feet long. I would most certainly send ya some cash if anybody could grab me one.

Hey folks, new here and looking forward to surf fishing. I have an '06 Subaru Forester 2.5xt (turbo) in manual transmission with stock 16" tires on it. With the air let out, will this at all be an acceptable beach buggy?

assume at some point you are going to get stuck....make sure you have the tow stap(s), a small shovel, perhaps a couple of short lengths or 2 X 6 or at the very least the phone number to someone like Cape Point Exxon if you are in Buxton.
oh and here is another tip...if you have an automatic (push button) type 4 X 4...make sure the 4 x 4 is engaged every time you get in the truck while you are in the sand...had a buddy a few years ago....get in the truck (slightly drunk) and push every button on the console without me noticing...guess what...I started up, put it in gear and proceeded to bury the pumpkin.....dumb Azz didn't even help me dig it out... ![]() also join the NCBBA...and the OBPA....anyone who is a member should help pull you out if you get stuck... |

<---2x member...I've got straps, shovel, port air, wood and carpet...BTW Carpet remnents can help you get out of a hole. Make them just wider than your tire and about 4' long. Never had to use them but heard it works wonders in loose sand. Put it all in a 5 gallon bucket and leave it in the truck bed with some bungies and jumper cables. Will get you out of 90% of the "sticky situations" you will get into anywhere! |
