Michigan has beautiful beaches and lake Michigan is clear and blue by many of the beaches along the shoreline. it really is a beautiful state, especially the farther north you get. no offense to the ocean goers but ive been to the east coast in Virginia beach as well as the west coast in San Fransisco and i have to say that neither place has anything on the west and northern Michigan beaches and blue water. come on up for a visit sometime during the summer, lots of stuff to do and ill take you for a tour in the dunes!

Don't get yourself any aggressive mud tires or all you will do is burry your truck to the frame. I suggest getting a mild all terrain tire.

Well, the internet will ruin everything....

1. Do NOT park on plants or grass. If you want to be able to continue doing so, preserve the environment.

2. Feel priveleged you can drive at night on the beach, another reason to be clean and smart about where you park and how you drive on the beach. One nighttime vehicle vs. pedestrian accident could change all that. Some folks will not use the truck and just lay on a blankie...

3. Daytona, Volusia County beaches are highly restricted to daylight driving only, have entire areas set aside as no driving, and every inch has a conservation area between the water and the (15-35' parallel to the) dune line where you can't drive or park.

Apparently you are geographically challenged as well. You haven't heard of LAKE Ocheechobee? Or LAKE COUNTY? You must not also be aware of the millions of fresh water springs? Where do you think the St Johns River comes from?

Since you are young, I will at least offer you one piece of advice. Don't stop at your parking spot with your brake, it will create a divot. Just coast to a stop in neutral, leaving just idle out.

The Silver Lake Sand Dunes are amazing I use to take my quad out all the time when I still owned it. My buddy and I have both and the best performance with balding bfg at's I went to a hankook dynapro atm and he got some original bfg muds for his powerstroke and they did worse then the low tread at's
