Beachsquatch! Cruising the sand for the first time

[Bronkolohe]

Headed down to Padre Island National Seashore here in TX last weekend and was able to dial into sand mode and get way off the beaten path for some beach cruising for the first time. Past the 5 mile marker, 4 wheel drive and high clearance is required - and you have miles & miles of beach to cruise if you have the right vehicle. The Sasquatch did great thru all the soft sand - I've been looking forward to this since I ordered my Bronco and it did not disappoint. We drove out until we had a long stretch all to ourselves and not another person in sight in either direction. Fun way to kick off the summer.

Also - I've been doing a few upgrades to my Base - added oval nerf step bars that help getting in and out (and also provide some protection against rocks getting kicked up) and on the front end - added forged D rings and a nudge bar with light kit. Tied the Amber DRLs into the running lights - and aux switches for white spotlights. Looks and works great!

I am fortunate enough to live here. I have found that 4A works great between the hardpack and soft stuff. The goodyears appear to love the sand.

Don't forget to park under and sprinkler and get the salt out of you system....

Great pics

That's awesome!
Hope you have a ton of fun with your Bronco.


Just remember to always be mindful of the tide....

How did you Tie the Amber DRLs into the running lights.

 

[SpringTXOR]

Only 25? Mine was riding perfectly fine at 50+, it took me a little over 90 minutes from the end back up!

Outstanding. BTW, ditch the Sand Mode and just run the Bronco in 4H . Lower rpm while cruising the sand regardless if it is packed or loose.

Bad ass dude! Nice ride and pics!

 

[Dayton1984]

Awesome pics and awesome Bronco. My brother used to live in Corpus so I got to drive on the beach a couple times, he has tales of heading past the 5 mile marker....definitely on my bucket list!
