Planning a trip to the beach

[Willy]

The laws are the same on the beach and the road.(at least in theory) You can get a DUI on the beach. Be careful.

ANother Jeeper here too, mines a bit older though

Once my dad gets his shop built Ill be building an iron LS1 to drop in it. It went from 17ish stock to 13 on the highway with the lift/wheels and all the extra BS on it. We should get a group together to go do a little offroad wheeling.

Talking with the guys from Jeep Nation, 3rd Coast, and Wrangler forum last night, they all had nothing but good things to say about it.

It's a fun place, but most of the trails are going to be more hardcore than you'll want to do in your stock JK. There's still plenty of fun to be had though, even if you end up riding shotgun in somebody else's Jeep through some of the more challenging trails.

Since you're in San Antonio, I'd recommend Katemcy Rocks.

Yeah, I'm going with a few modified guys...they said I should be able to at least do the 1 trails and most of the 2. We're mainly going to meet more of the folks from our area...looking forward to it.

If yall plan another trip post up. I built the jeep 4 years ago and have yet to ever take it somewhere where I need to pull the sway bar disconnects

Mine isnt hardcore by any means so Id like to know how tough the trails really are. Mine just has a 4" short arm kit with a triangulated rear on 33s with of course the stock Rubicon goodies so its pretty damn capable but relatively low ground clearance compared to some but I built mine with more hunting capability and good road manners in mind than hardcore trail riding...

My jeep saw this pic of your jeep....now I have to send it to therapy to convince it that its not inadequate.

Oh man. Just got back an hour or so. It was an experience. I learned a lot valuable beach camping lessons lol.

All in all, it was a fantastic trip, and I would definitely go back. I'll post up a picture or two later.

 

[alexrex20]

hahah look forward to hearing about the valuable beach camping lessons. i have an idea...

 

[RstyShcklfrd]

Just a few quick tid bits of info that I've learned:

1) That sand gets everywhere. If air can touch it, it will get sand in/on it.
2) Bring the necessary gear. I brought wood, but didn't have a way to split it. I also had a hell of a time trying to make a campfire, so much so - that I didn't have a campfire.
3) Bring a lighter, or a hell of a lot of matches.

There's plenty more, but I'm far too drained to think of them all.

Also, trying to sleep when it's super humid and 80F+ outside is INCREDIBLY difficult.

 

[RstyShcklfrd]

And no, I did not get stuck. Since those people bailed, I exercised great caution and only explored a little past the 4x4 sign.

 

[alexrex20]

it's always a good idea to stop at a self-serve car wash and spray down the entire truck, top and bottom - especially the bottom. rinse off all the salt.

 

[RstyShcklfrd]

I'm going to completely clean the inside tomorrow and then run it by a car wash. It is so damn dirty lol.
