Evening everyone!
We have our trusty 1996 Lexus LX450 (80 series) as seen below, though now on 305/70/16 BFGoodrich KO2s which has made a huge difference, otherwise unmodified aside from some removing the side step and some low hanging bits of plastic. We've been exploring the old logging roads out here in the North Cascades and the Pacific Northwest in general for many years now, but only picked up the 80 in the last couple of years. Most of my experience has been either using the Lexus in the snow on backroads, or wheeling the family Wrangler LJ. I have driven the Rubicon and a number of our local trails especially in Tillamook, OR and Naches, WA.
We are looking to meet other overlanders so I can both push the rig and explore remote areas more safely - we camp year round and want nothing more than to go with a group for safety and better recovery options. Have my license for operating a GMRS radio, a full size spare, recovery strap but no winch yet. So far my recovery boards and a shovel have done the trick! Reach out if you're in the PNW and want to do some exploring, I'll be watching the meetups but still not sure how this group works.
See you on the trail!
