Will lift, fit big mofo wheels, strip panels, bar lightly and determine what gearing is required to turn big mofo wheels on beach. Need experienced advice and now I have done my 3rd post. Cheers all

For a beach hack you can’t go wrong with a any zook you find cheap. A vitara will prob be the easiest to find cheaply. The front IFS fits well in ruts and if you lift it you get front diff clearance unlike a live front axle. I personally wouldn’t fear for a beach hack, I would just run big tires and low range. Autos also work well on the beach so consider as an option.

Thanks, was hoping to find an auto for laziness and ease but most manual I am finding. Didnt know if transfer case ratio change would be helpful ? I dont need 100kph on beach and less stress on engine with bigger tyres etc wondered what i could do. Engine would hardly get warm with little distance I need to go. Our lawn goes to the beach then its up a km to the creek. Cheers
