Beach driving

Basically I'm just looking for opinions on whether I should even try beach driving with my Prerunner. I have a Detroit Truetrac LSD rear end, and 31x10.5x15 aggressive a/t tires. Would I be ok if I aired down, or is 4x4 a must? The places I usually wheel are sugar sand and I do fine, I'm usually the one who ends up pulling people out haha

 

I'm trying to convince myself to get out on the san while I'm here in Pismo. Everyone has told me to air dow, stop facing downhill, and don't spin your wheels. I can do all three. I'm almost bone stock suspension-wise. I've never been on sand before so here's to us finding out!

 

If you I'd try it but make sure you have buddies with 4x4 just in case.

 

I don't know, my 4x4 don't do good in sand but I have mud tires so a/t's should do better.

 

I'll take his word for it.

 

I've been before, open diff with street tires. I didn't air down at all, and beach patrol had to pull me out haha. Nobody would pull me out, told me I should have thought of it before taking a 2wd out. Assholes lol. Nobody at Daytona airs down, not even beach patrol

 

My a/t's are so aggressive they're almost m/t's. Same basic tread block design

 

I drive on the beach all the time in 2wd, and only times I have problems are when I go up into the deep soft stuff while going slow. You should be fine.

 

Just wondering if I will fair better now when going past the 4x4 only sign lol
