    If it's dry, even a Prerunner can make it on the main trail; but down the beach side, might get stuck if there's soft sand. If you have 4x4, you should be alright.

    More of a concern will be the big rocks that stick out and deep holes. You will probably scrap the belly (underside) of your truck on some parts of the trails.

    Haven't been out there in a while, so not sure how muddy it is these days. Last time, a few months ago, it was pretty dry...just windy with choppy waters.

    Would highly recommend 2.5 to 3.0" suspension lift with decent (meaty) all-terrain tires, rock sliders, and possibly skids. :D

    Should be fine braddah, ive been going in there lately and roads are a little rough but the mud pits have been blocked to prevent people from going in. DOnt really need the 4x4 unless you plan on going in the soft sand. Only thing i would worry about is the dips and maneuvering around them so you dont scrape. Good luck and no worries get good guys out there thats willing to help out if you do ever come stuck!

    Should have been about a week bro, renewed mines and got one for my other truck and came in 4 days

    Yeah bro its quick, try looking at your address if you missed some parts or incorrect? They pretty good on mailing them out thats why. Also you may have missed it in the mail? Its a plain white envelope with the state logo on the top, i missed it the first time thinking it was junk mail thats why

    Thanks bro, think I figured out what happened. When I re-submitted my information, it was all was correct, but the "Drivers license" and "mailing" addresses are different for me, it didn't have the correct mailing address saved so it probably sent to my old house.

    I'm assuming 4x4, and not 4x2?
    Should be fine as long as it's 4x4 and not too muddy. And you'll have to watch your lines and avoid the deep pockets, tire lines, and large rocks.

    No need to air down unless you plan to stay in the soft sand.
    Also, how do you plan to air back up?

    Best bet would be to air down to around 18psi. You can drive on the road this way to go air back up. It's better than getting stuck. I have no idea what you are driving through but if you have to ask just air down, it's much easier than getting unstuck. Also in the first few post I had no idea what you islanders were fucking saying.

    They paved the main road somewhat and filled alot of the deep holes. Been going the past 2 to 3 weeks now and stock will be fine. If it rains heavy I would be cautious though cause the mud there ain't no joke. If it's dry though no need to engage the 4x4 unless you go through some of the sand pockets on the lower road.

    Any recommendations? I'm not wheelin enough to get a air on demand setup yet but I figured on my days out I'd throw my small compressor in the bed to take with. Haven't used the AC power yet but I assume it's plenty power for it

    No, the bed outlet is only 400 watts :rofl:
    So barely puts out 4 amps.

    I figured out that much lol wasn't sure what amperage it drew b/c its small (4 gal). Just looked it up its 10 amps :oops:

    BUT I just looked it up and the 2 Gal they make only draws 2 amps. So you could bring a small compressor, right?

    It should, but a lot of compressors will draw a lot of power on startup. You better off getting a viair or something that runs off of 12V DC and hook up to the battery. I might be selling my Viair 400P soon.
