Finally got to the beach or on it

Finally got to take the jeep to the beach, I'm not a fan of salt, so I did not venture near the water. However the air had plenty.

Did you have to air down?

Nice. If you camp, you should look at spending a couple days on Cape Lookout. You can drive about 60 miles or so on the beach.

Plus you can watch the sunrise out of the ocean and sun set into the ocean just by turning your chair around.

A travel thread I posted on the forum. Just know the only way to the island is by ferry and you HAVE to get a reservation well in advance. If you do need help planning this, just hit me up. I think it is well worth the journey.

I use my JL to surf fish, so I'm regularly on the sand.
I air down to 18psi and never drive on the wet sand so my salt contact is minimal.

Wash it immediately after, then wash it again, the next day, and maybe again the week after. I have some serious corrosion problems from my time playing on the beach.

If you do get into some saltwater soaked sand, yes, wash when you get home then hook up a lawn sprinkler in your driveway.
Run your garden hose underneath your Jeep with the sprinkler out in front.
Turn the water on and slowly pull the hose back allowing the sprinkler to oscillate and rinse the underside. Go slow and let the sprinkler do the work.
