anyone using a jeep wrangler/cj as beach buggy?
 

just wondering what people thought of them , and what accessories were recommended besides the rod rack and cooler carrier..

hoping to get all the necessary or suggested items together to enjoy beach fishing..

Yup!
 

Got an awesome 1985 Jeep CJ-7 with a Chrysler 318 pushing it down the highway! Got all the toys on it, 3 tops, bumper mounted rod-rack on front, cooler rack on the back. Next I am putting on an overhead rack so I can carry all of my rods on top. I love my Jeep in the sand, especially with the top off. Handles great in the sand.:D What do you have Crash?

Sometimes I wish I had room to sleep (sometimes) kind of tough sleeping sitting up!;)

i am selling my dodge (to lower my monthly payments, buying a house) and was looking at a 98 wrangler with the 4.0 l...

was trying to find a cargo rack that would still allow me to lower the soft top for those nice days..

any advice you can offer will be appreciated.. i am hoping to use this as my regular vehicle (although i don't drive everyday) and have it be my beach buggy for many years..

I've got a 2002 with 35,000 miles, never had a problem in the sand or any problems with the vehicle. Very fun to drive. Mine is a standard transmission. A cargo carrier for the rear hitch with some home made rod holders is important. There's not much storage space inside. I haven't had my backseat in for over a year.

Only negative thing I could say about my Jeep is the security. Thieves can get in through the soft top quite easily.

This is my first post, I hope it comes out okay!

Jeep shopping time....
 

Crash....go to www.4wd.com or www.quadratec.com. Shop on-line or have them send you out their catalogue. If it exists....they sell it. I buy all my stuff form them. Enjoy!:btu:
