Finally got my 2door3pedal on the beach at IBSTP NJ. Question has anyone tried using 4H when driving on beach? Used 4 Low, with my manual was fun. Was just curious if 4H would work as well. See some all wheel drive SUV's out there, so was just curious. Thanks for input in advance.

If you air down enough 4H works fine but I just like the different gear ratio options 4L gives you so I nearly never use 4H always 4L.

I’ve always aired down and used 4H down here on the North Carolina Beaches. Never had issues or needed 4L.
I've driven my truck up in Corova OBX, think could have just left it 2 wheel, it was so packed. Beach i was at today here in NJ is way thicker sand then OBX.

We drove to Corava last year in my old Gladiator...2WD would have worked just as good as 4WD in most places.

I aired down to 15PSI. Used 4L, I have to hang with a manual in 4 low. First time on beach with manul. Was fun, but tricky at start getting in right gear.

Thanks for feedback

Is there much beach open around Race Point? The ORV map shows pretty much everything closed for driving. Maybe they need to update the map. Thanks.

Always check online ORV map/update for Cape ORV beaches…much is closed now for Piping Plover nests.

. . . realizing each day–
We air down and use 4H, pull INSIDE 20 miles down the beach. Offroad+ works nicely and disconnecting the swaybar improves the ride—

Thanks, I always check the map but sometimes more is open than shows on the map. We are planning on going down in early September, it is a fun place.
