View going down. I wasn't able to use DAC because it requires the truck to speed up a little then it will slow it down which I will not take a chance on this decent. The trail was very slippery and the rear wheels are locking up and making the truck sideways. Very very scary. I also was running on fully inflated tires (which didn't help) and ride height set to high which I should set it to low or normal to put some weight back in the rear tires.

Nice pictures...your truck isnt equiped with KDSS is it? The amount of travel in the rear axle doesnt depict it.

Im jealous and thanks for using your truck as it was intended...outdoors and in the open.

Great pictures! "Time to head down" looks pretty SCARY to me. I don't remember ever being in Hollister before (Cupertino). It would be my luck to be heading down and have an earthquake hit just about the same time. .

Great pics, it really looks like you had fun! Now you can tell the Jeep people on the trail "It's a Lexus thing"!

Kash,

There are a few places in Texas. I have been looking for places to go off-road. The best place I found is north of Tyler. The hill country has a few places also.
