You can't take a 4x4 on Jones Beach but you can near sore thumb past Gilgo beach and Demo point by Robert Moses.
There are also many other beaches you could take your 4x4 on as long as you have the permit.
The bar cost me $250 and the dealer installed it for free since they screwed up on my delivery date.
It's fits really nice.

I just purchased my 4 runner last week and had the Manik brush guard installed. Is it normal to have vibration on the brush guard?
While driving I could see it vibrate.
I will post some pictures tomorrow.
