for sand just make sure you air down to at least 15 psi - otherwise you'll get stuck
use 4x4 LO and easy on the gas - if you give too much you will start digging yourself a hole and get deeper in it.

thanks, i used to take my 75 jimmy on the sand all the time. i didnt know if the ground clearance on the libby would be enuff or not. i always used 4lo, it circulates the tranny fluid better and helps keep it from overheating.

Took my old 2002 Sahara dition KJ out on the dunes in Corpus Christi and had a blast...sand blast that is...cleaned any and all old rust from the bottom of the Liberty. Had some 245/75/16 E rated at the time and went down to 13psi...ended up pulling others out of "stucks". Some of the time I was is 4WDHI because the climbs required some speed. Pics here...

I drive on the beach at least 3 or 4 times a week. I stay in 4Hi and never let the air out of my tires....this was before I had the lift and tires even. You should be fine.......if the sand is really REALLY soft the airing down might be a good idea. But like i said, I never had a problem....

Pay no attention to these Floridians who think they "4 wheel" on the beach.

You will definitely need to air down, the sand up there is way soft.
