I need some tips, do's and don'ts for driving onto the beach. First time wrangler owner looking to have a beach day. Do I have to let air out of my tires?

Do - take your top off
Don't - keep your doors on Do - relax and enjoy the day Don't - go home too soon Do - stop and sit on your roll bar Don't - ignore people waving And Do - use sunscreen :) |

When I lived in Houston I would go to the beach with the family quite often. I have never had issues or had to air down, same thing when visiting the Sand Dunes National Monument. The traction control works well.

Do bring a cooler full of beer

Air down your tires, get in 4 hi before you hit the sand, wash down well after you leave (undercarriage)

Did you go to Go Topless Day 2016 in Galveston per chance?

My experience with sand has been you don't necessarily have to air down but it does help.
You could always give it a try and see how it goes, your tires will make a huge difference. I just got 315/70/17 cooper MTP's and my last trip to the sand I did not have to air down, I had no issues getting around but I will also mention that these cooper MTP's are great Offroad so the tires make a big difference. Also go slow and steady, if you start to dig in, stop and back up, then go forward again. Trying to power out of sand will likely just get you dug in deeper, so take it slow. 2015 Hydro Blue JKU |
I live on the beach in the Baja the most important thing is to air down. Start at 15 pounds i do 8 pounds but have bead locks.Also i run 2 wheel drive at faster speeds it keep you from following the groove if the beach is tore up.
