Beachsquatch! Cruising the sand for the first time
- Thread starter Bronkolohe

Are you running with a rust coating on the frame / undercarriage while on those salty beach flats?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!

Nice pictures, the Texas coast is beautiful at magic hour.

Wonderful pics! Thanks for sharing. The sand mostly looks nice and packed. I know it's not in the neighborhood, but if you want some loose deep stuff, go to the northern end of the Outer Banks. Even aired down with some really good AT tires, it was still hard to steer my F-150. But we never stopped or got stuck, so it was a good day!

I always worried that 35's would look bad on the 2-door, but that looks PERFECT! I think the side step helps, beautiful bronco and excellent photos.

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!

That’s awesome! I just took mine out to Cape Lookout, NC for the first time last week. I camped in it for 3 nights and loved getting to try out the sand and Baja modes

I made that trek a year ago. It was enjoyable except for the considerable amount of trash that was washed up on shore and on the jetty at the end.
Somebody asked how long is the national seashore. It’s 60 miles to the Mansfield Cut. If going all the way and back, make sure you start with a full tank, as your gas mileage will seriously suck.

I saw this guy at the dunes today. He did not make it unscathed.

a long way, if I remember right it is 60 miles or soof beach driving but someone from there with a lot more knowledge than I will hopefully chime in. I looked on google earth if not for one cut you could drive all the way to the Mexican border it looks like. My brother took his YJ way down the beach where he said the fishing was fantastic because nobody goes that far. I want to go for the desolation and live on the beach for a week!
I’m down for that bucket list item
Nice I enjoy going to galveston East beach and Surfside and padre in mine. Short weekend trip from Houston
