They said it would be fun: SOFTROADING - Check out how I destroyed my bumper on my Lexus LX570!

We decided to camp at a location that none of us went before so we followed Googles' direction and of course it was not the right way. We went through at least 11 big washouts before realizing that it was the wrong way as it was blocked by a large boulder. One of our friend's Jeep Liberty got stuck on a fallen tree trunk and we could not pull it out with a tow rope or a winch. Luckily, I had a chainsaw with me which we used it to cut the trunk into blocks and build a wood ramp to lift the Jeep Liberty off the trunk. It took us about 2 hours to free the Jeep Liberty. On our way back out, I destroyed my rear bumper while going through one of the last washouts. We ended up finding our camping spot and overall, it was a fun camping trip except the "destroying my bumper" part. I hope you like my video!

Perfect time to replace with high clearance bumpers 👍🏼

[@myhappyadventures]

That's the plan! Stay tuned for the upgrade!

[@LexusGX460-OFF-ROAD]

That's just plastic, cut it off or just heat weld it back together... either way be mindfull of your cardinal angles... approach, departure, breakover and youll be A OK! 😊

[@myhappyadventures]

Another excuse to get a steel bumper 😂

[@joshuadpeters]

Good video - well done and fun to watch while waiting for my son to fall asleep!! 😂😅 next time get a proper steel bumper ;)

[@myhappyadventures]

Next upgrade! Steel bumper!

[@golightlycycling6631]

That'll buff out 😅 Looks like a fun squad man

[@myhappyadventures]

Haha.. one day it’ll buff out 😂

[@tronaboron2064]

Little bit of crazy glue, good to go! 😂

[@myhappyadventures]

@@tronaboron2064 I agree!! It’ll break again at some point.. 😅

저도 이게 하고 싶어 2018 랜드쿠르져샀는뎅, 뉴욕에 혼자라 쫄아서 못하고 있네요 ㅎㅎ 잘보고 갑니다~

[@myhappyadventures]

오! 축하 합니다.. 😬 분명히 뉴욕에도 하시는분들 계실텐데.. 꼭 해보셔요! 😆

[@tiny_the_200]

Check out NST Spec’s small body lifts for the LX and then the OEM bumpers can be trimmed to give a little better approach & departure angles 👌🏼 Looked like a beautiful area to wheel in

[@myhappyadventures]

I’ll check it out! Thanks for the tips! 🙂

[@dnlpark]

100% That could have been avoided

[@myhappyadventures]

It was on my way back so most likely.. 😅

[@jiyounggo4733]

OMG....I want to believe that this didn't really happen

[@liberty_overlander]

Will spot you better next time bro! 😅

[@myhappyadventures]

Thanks brother.. Hopefully I can have a steel bumper by then 🙄

[@briancaguioa]

are your vector 5’s in satin black or titanium ?? really hard to decipher

[@myhappyadventures]

Mine are satin black 😬 I may have some photos of my instagram.. Check it out 🙂

[@MikeNizzle]

What where your spotters doing?

[@myhappyadventures]

Watch me crack my bumper 😂

[@croaker4747]

Never take a truck off road if you are not prepared to break something. Especially with no rock sliders or skid plates. The LX is a great truck, but it has vulnerabilities when stock. You are lucky you didn’t bounce the transfer case off of a rock. It is made out of Aluminum and can crack easily. That roof top tent is putting a lot of weight on the rear suspension as well. If you are going to continue off roading like this you need to invest in some basic protection.

[@myhappyadventures]

Rear steel bumper and rock sliders are on the way! 😆

[@silentvoiceinthedark5665]

Angle of departure

[@myhappyadventures]

Yup! 🙂

[@silentvoiceinthedark5665]

@@myhappyadventures Did you have the hydraulic suspension raised to max high? I recently had mine flushed and it goes up and down much faster now.

[@myhappyadventures]

@@silentvoiceinthedark5665 yes.. I had it on HIGH.. Also.. the washouts were lot deeper and narrow than what it looks on the video 🥲

[@1malikalik]

Hey the soundtrack is really annoying and destructing. Lets hear these beasts rumble and growl in the jungle. Sorry much as i love offroading and 4x4 channels am not gonna subscribe to your channel. Very annoying

[@myhappyadventures]

Thanks for the tip 🙂
