SORAC | Sasquatch Off-Road Adventure Club | Nacogdoches, TX

Are there any excursions planned for this fall and winter? Haven't seen much discussion about anything coming up except some expos. I'm trying to get to the one in Llano next month.

I've been dealing with a bad transmission in my GX 460 but finally got it repaired and I think it's going to stay that way. No more codes for stuck or malfunctioning solenoids in the valve body. While it was in the shop they also replaced the fluid pump, torque convertor, complete valve body and many internal parts in the main part of the tranny. Finally ready for a road (off-road trip).

Well, we made it back from Broken Bow trip with only some new pinstripes on the sides of "Lexie", our 2013 GX460. She is now K Trail proven. Didn't hesitate on any obstacle we approached and I was very pleased with the ability to keep all 4 tires planted on the ground in some fairly significant washouts in the trail. We really enjoyed the whole trip. Can't wait for the next adventure.

In the last couple of weeks I've installed new brake pads and rotors, had the transmission rebuilt and a new fuel pump installed. I'm as ready as I can be for Oklahoma. Now I just need to make sure I remember everything we need to take. Maybe I should make a list. Now that's a good idea.

I've made a few more minor improvements on the GX460 and one major repair. Had to have a new transmission right around Christmas time, Merry Christmas to me. On the smaller side, I mounted two ditch lights on the back edge of the hood to illuminate the ground and peripheral areas that are normally dark. I also installed a sort of water system with a sink and running water. Also fixed front fender seams and painted.
