Wasn't my first time to Paragon, but it was the first time I took my YJ. Was a lot of fun. Will have to go back soon. Our group had 3 TJs, 2 YJs, an XJ and a Lexus RX300.

What were the stats on that Lexus? Any lift or anything?

What trails did you run?

there is a lex that is a one off that the peeps from 4 Wheeler Mag/TV had done. saw the info on the Outdoor Channel in Mo. dude fabed everything cause there is NO aftermarket for Lex.

incl. was a custom front bumper, tow points, cradle for a 9.5 Warn. rear bumper and 3/8 plates for rear corner protection. kinda trick, they brought the exhaust thru the corner plate and routed it up/away from the body and made it flush with the surface. removed all body cladding and had a hitch/two points molded into the rear as well.

they gave very little info on the lift other than to say that it was all stock lex and they had done work to make the struts longer?? looked to be runnin at least 32's.

late...

The Lexus has a 2" BB (or was it 1.75", I dunno) and 30" Dunlop mud tires (maybe mud rovers??). It didn't do too bad since wewere doing easy trails. Obviously it was lacking in the flex dept since it's fully independant, so he had some troubles in the ruts and washouts. Granted they were easy trails, but I'm surprised it did that well, even though it doesn't even have 4Lo.

Next time, I'll def have to try some harder trails...Need skidplates first though.

</font>[/QUOTE]Thats cool. I give him a [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] just for wheelin a Lexus.

I've been on a lot of those "easy" trails. Some of those can jump up and grab you too. Even the easy trails are fun at Paragon. Especially if you have something in your group to entertain you...like the Lexus. I had a Suzuki Vitara in my group the last time. It was entertaining.
