Plenty of room!maybe we will get that pic after all but mine will be all painted by then,so brandons and your grandparents will be the only ones that look alike! Ps just by a cheap one person tent,way cheap!!

Nope there 15x8 i think.muds arent the best so if it was between 33 and yours,i say in sand yours would be better.just buy two new ones that you will want or switch to the tires you want down the road

Muds aren't the best for sand but I have 285/75R16 maxxis bighorns and didn't air down at carrolla beach and did fine. I had 255/70R16s bfg muds the old ones and they did a hella lot better at oregon aired down then the stock tires. With the stockers it felt like my X was a lizard draggin its belly lol

Yea i had a set of 32x11.50 tsl swappers on a couple years ago and all they did was dig down,i was rooster tailing sand all the way down the beach and my trans over heated and seal went out.left a red trail all the way down the beach.i have pj dirt grips on now but they are 36x14.50 so the width should make up for them being mud tires,also they didnt get bad reviews for sand

Count me in for two people or one site... can't wait I go to nags head every year but didn't have one planned this year...

We have a group site reserved, said to hold up to 30 tents.$4 per person per night.witch days are you planning on coming and how many tents? Still plenty of room

 

[Wills05xlt4x4]

It'll be me and a buddy since wife cant get off... one tent two people and I'd like to stay the whole time so I guess that'd be three nights two ppl one site is all we should need only one tent site
Planned on coming down friday night and probably returning the night of the fourth as I have to work the 5th



Btw we should go to corolla for a day as Oregon inlet is MUCH MUCH smaller than in years before (closed over half a year or so ago)

We went to carrolla last weekend and the sand pretty packed there were cars driving on it. So you guys with 2wheel should be fine

[Xeek]

holy crap! atleast youre ok. try and save the wheels/tires. anything else you can too.
