Just got back from a fun trip to Moab, UT and ran a few trails., those being Fins & Things as well as Hurrah Pass, but had not seen much information on individuals taking their LC250's on Hell's Revenge on this forum and figured I would share my experience hoping it might help others decide if its a trail for them.
For reference some of the high level modifications I've done to date are as follows:
Suspension Details:
Front: Dobinson IMS front struts paired w/ C59-882 Coils, Old Man Emu upper control arms.
Rear: Dobinson IMS Rear shocks paired w/ C59-885V Coils
Wheels: 17" Method 703 w/ +35 offset
Tires: BFG AT KO3, 315-70 R17
Armor: Slee Offroad Front bumper
I have driven this trail a few times over the years in past built Land Cruisers I have owned (FZJ80 and UZJ100) and I have to say, the LC250 was probably the easiest rig to tackle this trail in. The approach and departure angles really surprised me. The Slee front bumper made a HUGE difference in my approach clearance. In my 80 and 100 I was dragging my hitch over ledges all day. Seems to be a perfect size rig. In the LC250 only once did I scrape the rear hitch and it was a VERY light drag. Point is, it was able to get through the entire trail with zero issue or damage and we had a blast. I was initially concerned that I didn't have sliders. I'm a big believer in investing in them but this was a last min trip and I had not yet pulled the trigger on buying a set.. Not once did I hit one of the factory running boards. NOTE: I would have felt better having sliders but for me, at the end of the day, they where not needed.
As the day went on I felt more confident getting use to how it handled and started taking on more challenging lines and it just kept taking them with ease, this is not a mall cruiser. Take it out, enjoy it and you will be shocked at what it can do!
