    COOPER DISCOVERER GEORGE WASHINGTON NATIONAL FOREST ADVENTURE

    With weather being in the 90s already in North Carolina we started making plans to head for higher elevation about a week before the 4th of July weekend. Since we were just in Pisgah National Forest a couple weeks ago camping, I wanted something different. We decided to do George Washington...

    Help me choose

    A friend helped me design some vinyl for the Lexus but I can't decide which I like. I am leaning towards the simple LEXUS FACTORY OFF-ROAD RACING all in black but I also like the idea of incorporating the TRD flag. What do you all think? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    RTT Awning interference

    I have had my rtt for about 3 years now and use it a lot. Last year I got an awning as well and have it set up where my tent opens over the drivers sided and the awning opens over the passenger side of the vehicle. All of my camping since getting the awning has been done in cool weather so I...

    table and chair storage

    Last night I picked up a nice folding Lifetime table at a local shop and threw it on top of my storage drawer in the back of the Lexus where I plan to carry it for travel. I already had my two large folding camp chairs in the back so these went on top of the table. The plan was to bungee...

    carrying coleman fuel

    How do you carry your Coleman liquid camp gas for your lanterns and stoves? When I first got the dual fuel bug with an old coleman lantern I inherited I was carrying a full gallon can of fuel with me every trip. I realized that I was hardly every needing it and started fueling up at home before...

    Sliders

    Why is it that every set of sliders I have ever seen for the 100 series Land Cruiser/LX470 are built on a backbone of 2x4 steel tube? I understand the 100 series is heavy but I see full size pickups and other vehicles that are as heavy or heavier do very well with sliders that are all round...

    Single drawer for LX470

    We have had the LX for a while now and I am sick of living out of totes when we are camping. We have basically narrowed our gear down to two action packers. One is the kitchen kit and the other is tools, parts, rope, and anything else that may come in handy but not used as often as the kitchen...

    Possible bad batch of Toyota fan clutches!

    So I recently started experiencing higher than usual temperatures. I had just had my timing belt service completed which included replacing all the coolant, water pump, and thermostat. I had the dealer replace the fan clutch. The next day I had the same issue with higher temperatures. My scan...

    Adding relays to ground switched vehicle

    I have searched and searched several months now trying to find out how to add some relays to my lx470 which is ground switched. The best I have found is that when wireing the relay. Normal relay wiring would have +positive power from switch going to 86, constant ground going to 85, +power direct...

    Cooper ST/Maxx or tried and true BFG All Terrains

    I am about to drop some coin on tires tomorrow. I have been going back and forth between the BFG All Terrains and the Cooper ST/Maxx since I bought the LX. Whichever flavor, it will be a 285/75r16. I put many miles on BFGs on other vehicles and loved them for their quiet, smooth ride, and long...

    First trip to Uwharrie National Forest

    We have never been to Uwharrie before and finally went today. We didn't make the final decision until we woke up this morning. Several people had warned us that it would be extremely crowded this weekend but that was not the case. We stopped by Eldorado Outpost to get our trail pass for the...

    Boone, NC and surrounding area

    My sister-in-law was graduating from Appalachian State on Sunday, so we decided to head to Boone Friday night and spend all day Saturday exploring. I wanted to drive all of Old NC105, which is mostly unpaved and follows all of Linville Gorge, and a few other unpaved public roads. Sampson road...

    100 Series Family Adventure Rig

    So we jumped ship from the Jeep and bought a 2001 LX470. The WJ was great but was a little small for our needs. We looked at many and wound up settling with this one with 160k miles and perfect service history. I already have many plans for this one. Will post more later. Recent Photos...
