Default Off Roading at Hollister Hills Nov. 26

The time is 11am and while I’m filling myself with leftover turkey from last night. I over heard my girlfriend will be stuck at her friends house doing her class projects. Inspired by Bulldog-yota’s post, I decided to excuse myself to do some wheeling in the famous Hollister Hills which is 75miles south of Redwood City.

I have to say this is the best time I had with my truck. The green everywhere landscape made it really pleasant and relaxing to drive around. I stayed in most green trails which are rated easiest and did some blue trails (more difficult) and one black trail (most difficult).

I felt like I was a clown or something because most of the people there driving or watching kept staring at me. I over heard people shouting “Go Lexus!!” and "It's a Lexus!!" and some fellow Toyota drivers gave me the thumbs up. One Jeep passenger even shouted “Go Home!” probably shocked to see a mall crawler in their trails.

My GX made through all the blue trails with out a scratch and I’m also getting fairly confident driving off road and exploring the capabilities of this stock SUV. I encourage all GX owners to take their truck off road or take it to Hollister Hills. It has really nice wide trails that will not harm our precious truck. Anyway here are the pics!!

2-3in lift should be enough to make the belly clear.
