Took the TH to the beach to see how she liked playing in the sand. Big Shell Beach is about 50 miles south of Corpus Christi on the national sea shore. Let her run in the loose stuff near the base of the dunes and she ate it up. 4H MTS Sand, 20 PSI.

Good stuff, making me jealous as im stuck in snow land for now… curious if you did any underbody protection like woolwax or fluidfilm before hitting the beach? Or do you just rinse off well once done? Cant imagine the sand and salty water debris is good for the paint?

Not on this run, but that’s an excellent point and on the list. I’m trying to see how the TH handles different off road environments while I wait for the parts back orders to clear. All the vehicles I take down to the beach end up with an underbody coating.
