Also like a 10'x15' pad made from RR ties or something natural (I can only imagine the cost to have concrete delivered up there) to park the truck on when we are there.
We also laugh at the amount of people in Ohio with Salt Life stickers on their cars... lol.
anyhow, back to topic... if BFG isn't your first pick, what do you suggest for a 255/75? seems the "big players" don't make a decent AT 255... it seems either a road/light truck or mud tires are the choices.

In no particular order, I am looking at:
- Firestone Destination XT
- Kumho Road Venture AT
- Hankook Dynapro ATm 2
- Cooper Discoverer AT
- Kenda Klever AT2
The Firestone and Kumho are my top 2 choices so far, as they're both Load Range C. Some local friends run the Kumho and have had great experiences. While the Bridgestone Revo AT3 is also C rated, I ran that tire before and wasn't supercrazy with it, so I'll pass this time. The Kenda is one worth watching, hearing a lot of good things about their RT so hoping this one is good too.
Sounds as if you have quite the plan for OBX! I have no idea if what you're thinking is feasible or allowed, but damn I hope it works out. We primarily go south, down toward Hatteras, Buxton, Frisco, Avon - so peaceful and relaxed down there, and uncrowded (and awesome camping). But up north is much more stable in terms of storm impact and shifting sands, makes a lot more sense as a permanent place. Best of luck with it!
