I have an off road/sport fishing permit to drive my Syncro on the beach at 
Island Beach, right by Barnegat Light, NJ. To get a permit, one must have 4WD 
and a bunch of essentials like tow strap, shovel, etc. Last time I went, back 
in July, one of the Park Rangers crusing the sand stopped by my Westy and 
asked if I had done a 4WD conversion. I told him about my Syncro and he told 
me about some guy who used to get a season permit to drive his late 60�s loaf 
on the beach and although he did not have 4WD, he had been doing so for years 
and was grandfathered in. The Ranger said he never got stuck. He also said 
that the nearby Mobil station does a tidy business fetching stuck SUV�s off 
the beach in the summer time.
