Beach Builds / Surf Fishing Builds ready for the summer? Post yours!

[Reese's TimePieces]

Very nice I'm planning on retiring there soon is it a long process getting your vehicle there?

Very nice! I bought my Bronco from the Ford dealer on island. I shipped my BMW and Mercedes from the mainland United States. It typically takes 3-4 weeks, but I would get quotes from a few different companies. I have personally used Tropical and Crowley in the past. Please let me know if you have any questions. I’ve lived on St. Thomas for the last 10 years.

In spite of all the delays, production issues, build concerns, I just gotta say this truck is a lot of fun…

Tried surf fishing with my Badlands in April 2023 on the Delaware beaches and it was a blast! Plan to spend lots of time there with the Bronco this summer! Put it in Sand mode and it was piece of cake!

I do have a question about airing down. I did air down my Bronco to 15 psi before driving on the beach but I am wondering if any one here does not air down before driving on the beach? The reason I ask is that a couple of people on the beach were surprised that I was airing down a Badlands with Sasquatch, they were pointing to the 35 inch tires and the ground clearance.

Always air down!

Link to that cargo hauler or did you build it yourself?

And looks like you can’t open the tailgate because the cargo hauler is in the way?

@CyberOrangeBadlands
I built it myself, Anglers Aluminum has gotten enough of my money. Lol

The gate does open about 22" plenty of room to get in the back,but spare does hit rod holder.

Once we get to Hatteras, all fishing gear/bait will be on the cargo hauler so no need to get into the back..we did the same thing with our Excursion.

Nice cocktail blue fight this AM…going in the smoker.

Challenging few days fishing, but also landed this 22” keeper.

The rod holders were great for trolling up and down the beach. Very sturdy on the expressway too. I used a 6” bungee cord for added security, but it didn’t seem necessary. The rods slide in there really tight.

Can't belive I've overlooked this post. Bought my Bronco just for all my surf fishing OBX trips. Still trying to figure out a front receiver hitch for my cooler/rod holders rack. I've had one on every one of my previous beach buggies.

Finally made it to the beach! Awesome day and awesome in sand mode @ 18 psi.

Love your set up very nice. Which swing away hitch is that?
