dougjohn Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Here's a set of pics of me going across the "Golden Crack". It's one of the obstacles on the Golden Spike trail in Moab, UT. (I tried posting them directly here, but wasn't able to...) Here's the link: Golden Crack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fsuphi1459 Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Wow, those are great pictures. Did the back bumper hit on the passanger side? What type of under-carriage protection do you have? Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badams Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 DougJohn you are a WILDMAN :-} I am VERY IMPRESSED. You have posted other 4 wheeling pictures and they were awesome as well. Please keep posting the good stuff and be SAFE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougjohn Posted May 7, 2004 Author Share Posted May 7, 2004 Thanks for the comments. Yeah, the rear bumper did scrape a bit as I went through -- the front did just a bit as I entered as well. But not all that much on either end. The only real undercarriage protection I have is a very beefy transfer-case skidplate. This replaces the thin one that originally comes with the truck. I also have rock sliders installed in place of the running boards. Sliders are a definite must if you're going to be doing any serious 'wheeling. I can't tell you how many times I've come down hard on those things -- they've paid for themselves time and time again. ... Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thi Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 Doug, The color of your Lexus looks like mine. Very nice pictures and adventurous on your part! For me, off road are those speed bumps around parking lots :) Have fun. Thi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traveler Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Looks like great fun. Wish I was there! Do you know of any rails for the 470 series? ARB/Australia has some but will not ship out of the country. db Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelson Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Great photos, dougjohn... awesome... and that crack's even bigger than my girlfriend's! Which reminds me, I know of another incredible obstacle you can drive over whenever you're ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARB/Australia has some but will not ship out of the country. db I'm pretty sure you can get a set of sliders (which is what I think you mean by rails -- correct me if I'm wrong) from (Slee Offroad). Christo (the owner) recently purchased a LX 470 and has had a 98 or 99 Land Cruiser for some time. I know he has sliders for the current model LC -- I'm sure the fit is the same on the LX. ...

Mudshack Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Yeh, check out Sleeoffroad.com They know more than just about anybody about the LX's and FZJ's. I plan on getting my 5" lift, sliderz and bumpers from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
