Hello GMSB.com,
I am contemplating driving my 87 V10 to the OBX. We go every year as a family and my wife's Mom and Pops, Brother's family, and extended family also join. I want to use the truck to haul luggage and supplies and I think I want to take it on the beach as you can acess it just north of Corolla down there. The PO told me he took it down there out on the beach a couple of times. I have never utilized the trucks 4x4 aside from showing the transfer case some love on our river house's dirt road driveway. I have been skeptical because I am paranoid about the undercarriage being near the ocean, but, it has been before, and we would only be there for a week. I would also plan to clean the under carriage when we get home. I don't want to do anything wild and crazy, I just want to get the truck out on the sand with my son, daughter, and nephews, and the wife if she's lucky, to enjoy a cruise on the sand. Let me know if y'all think yay or nay. Give me your pros and cons. Of course getting there I will be as ready as possible but that will probably be the biggest challenge. It is only 178 miles one way.
