Gen 2 at the Beach

[NCSU-19-Raptor]

Very cool. My wife wants to go to Asateg Maryland and look for shells. So we plan on doing that and driving on the beach. You all have any tips for driving on the beach? Like lower tire pressure or sand mode or just drive and not worry about it?

I generally don’t air down, but with the new truck I do use sand mode. Never had issues before, don’t expect to now!

Airing down def helps and all depends on type of sand you are dealing with. Def carry tow strap,shackles and a shovel at very least.

I picked up a season pass to Fort Fisher (NC) today, I hope to get back out there during the week when it’s, hopefully, less crowded. View attachment 144415

I love surf fishing and the Raptor is a beast on the sand. I usually go down past crossover 4 less people down that far. The only downside is 4 1/2 hour ride down to the gate so day trips is hard on a old coot like me.

That would be a good windbreak on a windy day!

Went down to Fort Fisher with 6 friends who all aired down myself included. I would recommend having a good portable air compressor for airing up. Out of the 6 of us I and one other had a compressor his was a older model took forever for him to air up.

It's always windy this time of year unless we park on north side by inlet. This is what we use, beach windscreen

We carry 2 in case we ever get to hang out with other people again. A mallet is also helpful for anchoring posts.
