The only one to finish in his production vehicle class.

Land Cruiser/LX570 FTW!

It would be interesting to see what were his competitors....

Does anyone know what kind of tires Joe Bacal was running?

I see that they are BFGs, but which ones?

It is the Baja T/A: http://www.bfgoodrichtires.com/overview/baja-t-a/19.html

Unfortunately, this tire is not available in "normal" sizes that most of us use. If it did, then i will surely be on their list!

Thanks for the info. I looked them up - they look awesome. I wonder if there is anything similar for most of us in the "normal" sizes.

What are they allowed to mod? Skids obviously but what types of suspension mods are allowed? Thanks.

I love what the Land Cruiser & LX570 offers...but why does the exterior have to be so damn ugly?!?!

 

[Uneek]

I would like to see more pics of the LX and the modifications made to it.

Thai, I thought LX570's werent good off road. He was the only one in his class to finish.

Well, there were only 5 competitors or something like that in the LX class.

G-wagens don't waste time with these small time competition...they are more concern about getting rid of Talibans in Afgan! BTW, G-wagens are not fullsize trucks i don't think since the interior space is no bigger than a 4runner (3rd gen)...so, i don't think that they qualify for this competition anyways. (But, despite the small size, G-wagens do weigh as much as Lexus LX though [aka overengineering!]...so, i am not sure what classification it goes under.) Oh yeah, call me whenever LX gets at least one of these in its axles: http://www.mercedestechstore.com/pdfs/G files/217 HO 03 Diff Locks (ACB-IC-TF) 2-05-03.pdf
