I'd like to see the high altitude come back over this

Wheres the 35s and beadlock capable wheels like the wrangler?

33 no beadlock on Wrangler 32 Mt on Gladiator

 

[Throwback]

I'd be living on the beach if I paid that much for a damned Jeep.

Nothing says beach wheeling like rock rails and adaptive cruise control.

If they really wanted to make a Beach Edition it would come with a full rubberized floor, and tire inflation system or at least a 12v compressor. It would also come standard with a Bluetooth speaker. That’s an easy miss on their parts.

I’ll agree that leather is better than cloth for the beach. Sand gets into cloth and you seemingly never get it out. I don’t know about Jeeps cloth seats, maybe they’re magic. The carpet is a mess. Neoprene seat covers is also another obvious miss.

Here’s a real Beach Edition Jeep:

• Awning so you and especially the kids don’t burn up
• Full rubber floor, because sand and water in carpet sucks
• A refrigerator for food, iced tea and beer
• A shower awning so people can go to the bathroom and change
• Central tire inflation
• A water port so you can wash the sand out of your crack, wash off boards and other gear
• Propane bracket and bottle for a fire pit and grill
• A HDPE tailgate for prepping food or cutting up bait
• Sand traction boards
• Beadlocks, so you can run low psi and not get beaten to death on washboard access roads and sand undulations.
• A big ass Bluetooth boombox
• A snorkel so you don’t ingest tons of blowing sand
• Solar power to run everything.
• Big ass off road lights.
• A winch and kinetic snatch strap.
• a shovel mount
• A good dog who likes water.

Yes, just like this! Holy heck this is nicely set up @Wolf Island Diver !

I agree with the Op's features except for the winch. Although everyone's "beach" will be different than mine, I live on/at the beach and there is nothing but sand to winch to. Kinetic ropes and traction boards will probably be the most important beach recovery equipment. Well at least for "my" beach.

If you look closely, you can see this replaced the Trail Rated Badge on the side. Easily worth the extra cost.

I agree completely. Maybe some tips on driving on the sand. Even the best of us get stuck.

Jeep Beach
Jeep Beach, recognized as a premier Jeep exclusive event, is held annually in Daytona Beach, Florida. As one of the largest Jeep vehicle events in the country, Jeep Beach attracts more than 225,000 attendees from all 50 states and 25,000 Jeep vehicles. The event culminates with more than 3,500 Jeep vehicles driving on the beaches for the world-famous Jeep Beach Parade. The mission of Jeep Beach is to raise funds for local and national charities, with more than $4.1 million donated to date.

I like the 4xe version but a range of only 21 miles is a bit pathetic. I’m going to assume it’s only real intention is to get you to a gas station should you run out.

People don't realize that St. Augustine beaches are a true 4x4 off road experience.

Good thing the sand at Daytona Beach is hard packed for driving on. Although, I still once got stuck in a Camry and had to get out and push. But a Jeep Beach JT should have no problem getting unstuck, with its rear lockers.

I've been driving Jeeps on the beach for 15 years now. Never hit that locker button when I had them.

If you look closely, you can see this replaced the Trail Rated Badge on the side. Easily worth the extra cost.

Could've saved some money and just sent them out the door with some Salt Life decals.

 

[SPED1]

Because nothing says beach like a hard top.............

 

[Hugh Jorgan]

Where are the ladies and the bikinis?? ?

 

[Mad Mac]

It should come with a fishing rod rack and fold down cooler shelf.
