Trying to assess the suitability of my stock Lexus GX470 for some of these routes--what exactly is high clearance? Stock clearance on the GX is 8.5 inches with the ability to raise by 2 inches at slow speed. Would I be able to manage the 'high clearance 4x4 sections'--obviously my skill level is the most salient factor, so I'm looking for opinions on the vehicle itself. I just did part of the Mojave Road on my motorcycle, though the sand was quite deep I didn't really get into trouble until climbing into the pass area, that being said, I thought the GX would have had no problem with that track (at least the part I saw before I bailed---I'd like to go back with my truck and see the rest of the route. Anybody do the Mojave Road with a comparable stock SUV?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
