Has anyone ran a stock wk2 with no quadralift go on the beach with 20inch wheels with the stock fortera hl? I live on long island where its not exactly a 4 wheelers paradise. The only place to legally 4wheel is on certain beaches with the proper permits. Since this is the on type of terain i will be able to wheel i just wanted to know if anyone had an experince with sand and my type of set up. Thanks for any input. I also have the QT2 system

I was in Corolla with 20s and Forteras and it was fine. I did air down some, but not much (maybe to 25). I have QL but I doubt that matters unless you are in some deep ruts. I put it in mud/sand mode, but again, it probably doesn't matter. I saw a Traverse AWD speeding out of the beach area and I figured that I would be okay. There are some general rules about avoiding red sand, etc, but otherwise you should be okay.

I am also from long island.....:D i have a limited with the 20's. Haven't taken mine on the beach yet, but when we were out at smith point with my husband's truck i did see a few wk2's out there. One was a 70th anniversary edition which i think is pretty much the same setup as yours. Also saw an overland with 20's, a limited with the 18's, and a laredo....:)

I,m on Long Island as well which beach permit are you looking to get?

You have nothing to worry about, I have a stock Laredo w 20s and air down to 18psi and drive Island Beach in NJ with no problem. If you have QT2 you are totally fine, put in sand mode air down and you"re good.
