come along even just for a day, best way to learn is to get out there and do it. your car should be fine even if its stock, i took mine there stock and it was sweet.

to answer your question though.

ya gotta let ya tyres down to about 10 psi, if its really soft sand i use low range and then just drive as normal, ie so the revs arent screaming but its not gonna stall either.

i found my old all terrain maxxis 751's much better then my new mud tyres on sand.

Imho just for beach work I wouldn't mess with it, the std HT tyres are fine for sand its just a question as to the entries on and off the beach and local conditions as to whether or not lifting is justified.

Maybe you can make it to the Big Xmas Trip, wont be sand, will be gravel and rocks, but nothing difficult... we are going for a road trip to start the day, then a Pup trip to have lunch, then out to the Powerlines for some 4WDing...
