Yes, and the H2 performs very well!! But not as well as a sandrail- just in case there's any sandrail owners that read this forum, I don't want them to throw a hissy like everyone else. Just air your tires down to about 18 psi and you'll do fine.

Pay attention to PhilD and many of his posts/threads on sand...he is right-on!

I have only aired down to 26#, but will try 20 this weekend in similar conditions to what I posted above.

When you come to stop in soft sand you build up a mound of sand in front of the tries. That can make it hard to get going foward again. It's best to backup a bit before you start going foward.

Good point Ted...just don't spin the wheels backing up, or it'll dig you in deeper.

PhilD...

Great pics of Sea Pines. I enjoyed looking at the South Texas page also, you have done a great job putting that site togather.

We will be in Rockport/Corpus area wed.- sat. and do want to find some time for Padre Is. If you see our white H2 running around later this week give us a wave or better yet come on along for a little wheelin.

Thanks Dennis

That might have been a big mistake.

Joyce& Seth, PhilD check your private topics.

We would like to hook-up with you guys for some sand running.

I took mine to the beach and I almost got stuck, then someone told me to deflate the tires and that helped....
