What recommendations and suggestions might you make for a 4wd beach/around town rig as well as outfitting it (tires, coatings, etc.)? I had a Ford F150 that I ran down the beach a few times a year for awhile. It was a good truck, but it had a flaw that you normally wouldn't notice. The stance of the truck leaned forward and the top had channels that held condensation. I feel like a few overnighters on the beach caused the channels to start rusting, which I didn't notice in time to deal with. Now I'm leaning to something smaller I can see over the top of, like a 4wd Jeep Cherokee. I've had a couple of those but never ran them down a beach. I've also been looking at Sequoias. Maybe something like the images. Your opinions, comments and suggestions are welcome here. Thanks.

PM me if interested.
Thanks

Nice. That 60 looks like it could climb a mountain.

whatever you decide on, you will need to have the underside sprayed or coated to slow the deterioration process.

Side Note: I would also go with a Toyota brand type of vehicle.
