    Hi...I got it!!!!. Do I sound XXXcited...DUH......A new 2021 4Runner....Last year my wife and I retired, and we moved to Del...I wanted to start fishing last year, but all the beach permits were gone(17,000) by mid June...also I needed to get a real 4X4 and let lose the 2011 Kia Sorento....which was great on everything but sand....which was bad....I stopped counting how many times I got stuck on IBSP in NJ...I got tired of digging out....So here I am...Just got the Del 2 year permit....I need a little advise....The new tires and rims look cool(dating myself here), I never had such aggressive tires on the beach...How low can I go in airing down? 15-18 psi...is where I want to be....but I might have to go to 10-12 psi in super soft sand....any advise would be well appreciated. Do I need to get less aggressive tire.

    Welcome to the forum John, i would say 18-20 psi. You do not want to break a bead so be mindful how you maneuver.

    Welcome and congrats on the new truck!
    I’m also new to beach driving and had driven a few times here in Long Island for surf fishing. Fairly soft sand, I ran between 18-22 psi on 4H with stock Bridgestone dueler tires. No issues at all and like it a lot. Wish I had gone more often.

    Welcome from Wisconsin! You sound like you're on the money with tire pressure, those aggressive treads do ok in the sand, just don't spin or you'll have to use 'Crawl Control'. Actually some of the most effective tires I saw on beach sand were smooth with tread lines all the way around, this seemed to work well. Good luck fishin'!

    15-18 psi and sometimes 10-12 is needed OBX. You never said what tires you have? You don’t have to worry about popping a bead if you take it easy. Start with 15 and if you start to bog down, start to lower it. You’ll be amazed at what lower pressure will get you out of. I stopped to help a person on the obx who buried his suburban and than I buried my 02 Duramax crew cab up to the frame, I was run 20psi, I lowered it to 12psi and the truck walked it’s self out with no problem. We than lowered the suburban tires to 12psi and it seemed the truck just jumped up and out. Didn’t need any straps or anything.

    What does OBX stand for?
