Re: Project "vanity Yukon"

Here's a pic of the horses after we followed them out of the bush towards the beach. Corrolla is beautiful, the road ends at the beach, you throw it in 4x4 and head out. My wife and I had spent a bit of time there before so we knew what to expect. When we were about to enter the beach I had a NBS Z71 in front of me and a Sheriff in a Titan with oversized aired down tires behind me, the Z71 got stuck within 50 feet, but I dont think his 4wd activated, I couldnt stop or Id risk getting stuck too and I was in his (the main) rut, so I had to gun it and turn the wheel and was able to scoot around him and get down to the packed sand that gets wet with high tide. I stopped to check on the Z71 since I brought 2 straps, but the Sheriff behind me stopped to help him also so I proceeded. The first 2 miles your not allowed to stop, then after that you can park and fish or party, and then there are access trails through the dunes to huge beach houses with zero paved or gravel roads, just deep never gets wet sand paths/trails, my brother got a kick out of seeing old ladies in tahoes and jeeps filled with groceries hammering through the sand to their beach houses as it was his first time out to Corrolla. We used to get a beachhouse every thanksgiving in Nags Head and drive on the beach at Oregon Inlet to fish, but my grandparents health has stopped that in the past few years. Oregon Inlet now requires you to purchase a beach pass to drive on the beach $50 a weekend or $150 a year (last I checked 2 years ago), such a ripoff, plus you need the $10 or so fishing license, so only locals really use Oregon Inlet beach anymore where the good fishing is, Corrolla is still free since it is technically still a road to the beachhouses. We brought our rods but saw no bluefish or striper blitzes so we didnt put a line in.

I posted it back up for sale yesterday and have 2 people coming to see it this week so far, need to fix the abs sensitivity issue by cleaning the mounting surface and replace the squeaky serp belt then hopefully I sell it and move on to the next.
