  1. Look at it this way; the 110V outlet in the vehicle is converted from 12V and there is a lot of efficiency loss in the conversion. You did not say what the power capacity of the 110V is, but it's probably around 400W or less. This will determine how large a compressor you can plug in.
  2. Always pull forward if possible. When pulling in reverse, ie; from the front of your rig, the ring and pinions are using the back faces of the gear teeth which are not as strong as the running or front faces. Most likely not an issue, but if you try a hard snatch you could cause damage.
  3. Stick with the rubber for leaf spring bushings. Poly will squeak and there is no good way to keep them properly lubed without disassembly.
  4. Clearly he's just a sales guy and has never actually driven anything on the beach before. The MTS probably helps some, but there is no substitute for airing down.
  5. All good advice above. Lift not really needed unless you are changing springs anyway. Be wary of driveline vibrations when lifting. Also, check all the front end parts for wear as they contribute to death wobble if bad. Great beach buggy in stock form. I had a 2000 for a few years no problems. I did change out the rad to a 3 row and the cooling issues were gone. 235's were all I needed for the beach. Wish I still had it today.
  6. Hunter123, no 4 runner. I'm in a GX460 now. But I'm splitting time between Long Island, NY and Raleigh, NC so no time on the beach for now. Will check out OBX once we're settled in Raleigh area.
  7. Jeep Liberty is a very under rated 4x4. Real transfer case with 4lo, and the traction control on the later models works quite well and you can easily turn it off when needed. I've owned a 2012 for a few years and it was great on the beaches. I did lift it ~2" and put on larger tires, and it was very capable. What led me to finally sell it was the constant electrical gremlins that nobody could figure out. Even on the jeep forums it's all a mystery with no real solution, and there is no availability of parts. If it's working for you, I would keep it and invest in the repairs for a bit.

  12. Not sure what your looking for or price range, but buying a certified pre-owned from the used side of a new dealer will save you from the liars and most of the garbage out there. At least there is a good warranty if it's junk. Some of the online services also offer a strong warranty but there is no negotiation and you pay top dollar.
