Not airing down will get ya every time... particularly in sand like that. Ok... maybe not every time, but you know what I mean. Air down to 15 PSI and these trucks are unstoppable on sand.

Some "paved" roads in the North East probably claim more 4x4's than many popular dirt trails...

Current state of Cape Cod National Seashore... been closed because of birds for a month!

The month of September can be the best time... most of the crowds are gone and lots of stuff gets much more accessible.

That sucks. Such an odd occurrence. Doesn't sound like it stops you from having fun though.

Still boggles my mind that FCA/Stellantis manufactures the hoods with functional cut outs only to complete them with sealed louvers. This pic proves definitively that you can make the vents functional with a sharp knife and a Dremel. Good find.

I have young kids, and there are other young kids in the neighborhood, so I want it on. But man can it give you a heart attack sometimes. I also have a lip on my driveway which will set it off. I now back in, and it's much much less of an issue.

That's interesting that Dobinson is making RAM components. They reportedly make really stout stuff for the Australian market. Good find.

I like that set up a lot. How are the seals working out up by the rack?

I would only consider ditching my air suspension if it has a failure way past warranty and it can't be fixed for a reasonable sum. By all accounts so far, the system on the 5th gen is much more reliable than on the previous generation. Also, I'm sure it's just fine in water crossings as well...

What's going on with your Air Suspension? In my experience, dealerships differ greatly on the level's of service they provide... maybe take it to another dealer to get a second opinion.

I have read that a dealer or someone with the correct tool and the ability to input the correct commands can tell the Air Suspension to bring in outside air. But that's not for just any owner or as intended operation, and I presume to be more of an emergency "just to get you home" kind of...

I'm certain it's sealed and filled with Nitrogen. There's a lot of sources out there if you Google it... even FCA press releases at launch. Plus I'm sure you'll find somethin on this site too. I'll see if I can dig something up when I have a second.

That picture of your Rebel in front of the waterfall could be on a brochure or press advertisement! You get some great shots.

Congrats... great color on that truck.

That's a fair point. I'm not sure how comfortable I would be if I came to a complete stop in a water crossing for a prolonged period which is a huge difference than simply transiting it (which I think would be just fine).

Honestly, not sure how much different fording 12 inches of water at slow speed for short distance is from diving at 70 MPH in a heavy rain storm for a hour or two.

Not at the town run beaches like Nauset and Sandy Neck... only seasonal passes. Cape Cod National Seashore is a National Park and you can get a week pass for $50. Prices may seem steep... they are... but the season is short and the beaches are costly to maintain. Every beach has air...

Is it possible you're driving fast on the beach, and kicking up rooster tails of sand causing the blind spot monitors to get false readings? I don't have any issues, but the speed limits on the beaches around here are 10 - 15 mph.

The Sandy Neck pass for offseason is pretty cheap... $80 for Labor Day to May 1st. Might be a good option. Nauset is "only $220" for the year, and they have a program where you can still get beach access provided you have someone over 16 years old with you to walk out in front of the vehicle...
