Default Off-roading In/Near Houston, TX

Hey all,

I would like to know who is interested in taking their GX/4runner (or anything else you have) off-road?? I know of a few places near Houston where we can off-road. Here is the list of vehicles from my family that may go with me:

'04 MB G500 (mine)
'01 Lexus LX470 (brother)
'01 Land Rover Discovery SII (brother)
'03 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon (brother)
'04 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited (friend)

TexGX agrees to go on the next trip...he has GX470 with KDSS. Anyone else??

BTW, i do NOT plan on trashing my car. Thus, it will be light off-roading that we can all enjoy. Bring your family if you want.

I just need to know who to call when i find a good place to off-road.

Thanks.

tigmd99,

Where do you go offroading in Austin? I've been looking for some trails around here and haven't found any.

Regards

Join us this Saturday afternoon. A Porsche Cayenne is coming...hopefully. There's a place under Loop 1 (i think) and another in Georgetown. The Georgetown place is technically more difficult.

Ok, guys...another chance to test your skills in off-roading!! On March 19 (Saturday), i am planning to go off-road in LIBERTY, TX, which is east of Houston (on Highway 90). There is an off-roading site that is popular to Jeepers and it's not too difficult from what i hear.

Anyone interested in joining me??

PM me if you're interested.

tigmd99 - I see that you have the Nitto Terra Grapplers - what is your general impression of them with respect to longevity, on-road behavior (noise, handling, etc.) and off-road performance. Thanks in advance - regards.

I have had them for about 2 weeks...so far so good. Here is my review:
