[QUOTE="Robert Thomas, post: 1009112, member: 65566"] Pete Good Information, but I have to disagree with the tire pressure. I worked at both Assateague and Cape Hatteras. We maintained all the vehicles we used on the beach at between 23 to 18 lbs. Most of the time you never had to put the vehicle in 4WD. Actually, when I started at Cape Hatteras very few had 4WD, they had tubes dropped to about 12 lbs. I ran upon a lots of stuck vehicles, but all were because the driver spun the vehicle down till it bottomed out. I never had anyone bottom out because of low tire pressure. I very rarely did you have anyone stuck that started out with tire pressures below 20 lbs. The one exception is in the ice and deep snow in the sand. Most people get stuck because they don't drop the tire pressure and try to drive in 4WD drive low. The soft sand should never be a problem unless you are going up a dug up ramp. The real danger is the big gravel red sand. [/QUOTE]
