Thanks Kenny!

Looks more like exceptional stuff to me! This is regular stuff. You have built an off-road machine (I think -- I haven't.) I notice an A-arm front suspension under that clean buggy.

Thanks Paul, sometimes I wished I had a normal shortened Manx with the big wide street tires, they seem to go better on the beach.
I buried mine in baja while normal type manx's were just crusing around not getting stuck
This was with sand tires on it

Your buggy is looking great man

Steve c - did you remember to "air down" the tires when you hit the beach?  If not, that is probably why you got stuck.  Tom

yeah actually that's me in the red shirt letting out the air

I had it down to 8psi and when I got stuck I let the rest out and I still couldn't push the tires down even an inch.... just stiff as can be

I'm going again in a couple weeks, this time I'm gonna run the BFG's and air em down
