    Driving thru sand

    Guys this truck is one of the best vehicles I've driven on the beach. I've driven everything from Ranger's, Jeeps, 1500's, 250's, and 2500's. This thing handles the beach as well as any Jeep or Ranger. And with the setup I'm using it doesn't take much longer to air down and back up than any...

    Thanks guys, it's a 3 hour drive that far down the beach from me. We're taking the wife's Ram 2500 to pull the camper and my M923 just to ride on the beach. Been working like mad to get this truck ready to go down there for the last 2 months.

    Headed to Hatteras NC(beach) soon and plan on taking my M923A2 out on the beach. The sand there is fairly soft, anyone have any other tips or rode in those conditions lately? How low should I set my air pressure 35psi? I'm running singled 14.00's. Thanks!
