Anyone go out at robert moses at the new beach enterence at the east end of feild 2?

Although it sucks that the air station is closed....it gave me an excuse to order an ARB Air System for the Jeep today!

Who wants to arrange a Jeep Beach Night sometime soon?

The last thing you need to running them down to the backing plates, it will make you get into an accident and/or hyperextend or damage your caliper. Get some decent pads and do it yourself. I can install pads on these JKs in under 45 minutes for all 4 corners and that's with greasing the backing plates so you won't have caliper to backing plate contact noises. If you need help, let me know.

Candice, brake pads range in price based on their quality and warranty. You could probably pick up fronts and rears for anywhere from $50-$80. Auto Zone gives a lifetime warranty on their pads.
Seems like you would be SOL big time if you got a flat. Invest the $30 in the AEV Jack base, it fits in the rear compartment nicely.
I'd give you a hand with the brakes on Saturday if you have time.

Latest I heard from a fishing site regarding the western beaches is the State is trying to get Demo back to 'normal' by May 15. As for Gilgo and Sore Thumb...right now they're not anticipating opening them at all this year b/c of erosion.
For Suffolk County Parks - Smith's Point is currently is open from cut 1A to 2 and then Burma out to the inlet.

I got my state beach permit the other day along with the empire passport. waiting for all the necessary supplies I ordered (air comp., tow strap, etc..) to come in. Never been on the beach with the jeep before. I would love to join you guys on a Jeep beach night. Didn't know suffolk had a permit, should i get that also?
