The wife and I finally had the chance to take our 19 on the beach. I went to Brigantine Beach in NJ as they offer free permits to veterans to drive on their beaches.
Happy to report that the truck did very well with our KO2's (stock size 275 65 18) aired down to 20 and in 4wd lo. Although it was very foggy out, we had a great time just cruising up and down the beach. I am embarrassed to say that I just found out about being able to drive on this beach and will enjoy hanging out there with our grandkids on nicer days.
I purchased a set of MAXSA Escaper Buddy Traction Mats in case we had issues but we did not. I will say I initially drove on the beach with 41 lbs of pressure in the tires and quickly realized why one should air down.
Not much of a pic but you can see it wasn't exactly a clear day.
