I have been on beaches of North Carolina the last few days. I have been doing a lot of driving in loose sand. I am noticing a lifter noise when driving at a steady speed. I think it is because of lack of acceleration, but wondered if anyone had experienced anything similar. Stock engine right now. Words of wisdom please.....not that I need a HEMI...at least not now. Ha! A pic for your enjoyment...Jeep + wild horses = Fun

Don't know what the noise is but I've leaved in NC 24 yrs and have never been out there. Nice view!

jealous, we stayed at the 4x4 beach (almost to Virginia) a couple years in a row, when we lived in Ohio. Its a little far to drive from California now:grayno:

Damn! same area we always stayed at. You should hike up to the cemetery on the VA side. Some of the oldest graves I've ever seen. Its a hell of a hike.
