well it was my first beach trip with my 87 RX and it was pretty good. car had no problems going where i wanted it to go. had plenty of looks by all the poser 4wd owners with their $50k things that certainly dont get $47k more 4wd than my rx, well certainly in terms of 4wd capability.

the only issue was a bit of overheating while driving in the soft sand at high tide, but otherwise it was fine. i've attached a couple of pics for your enjoyment. yep that's me driving, and my son in the passenger seat having an absolute ball. i cant promise the deep tracks on the sand are not mine ;)

Looking good!!! I love watching the looks on the other 4wders faces too when you just sail by... It's great :)

Mate, if you were having fun and your son was having a ball, nothing else matters.

Always love it when you go by a "real" 4wd that is having trouble, even better when you ask them if they want help lol lol:twisted:

Great looking RX

Here is a video of my Liberty pulling out 2 "real" 4wd's i got there wife to take the video i said i wanted it for bragging rights

Yeah, can't wait to get mine in the soft stuff, looks great, I've been in China for the past month so haven't had a chance to get it off road yet, someone should organise a trip to Wedge or something though I'd rather get the bash plate, roo bar & hi/lo box with LSD in first.
