Will be in Utah that week.

Nate, wifey (Kristina), and maybe a couple out of town friends are in.

Ah, you had left that out earlier, that will help you make your way up the hill dramatically, well.. without damage to the underside that is.

Liana, That is a appreciated perspective. We all get stuck sometimes and everyone learns what breaks, what gets you stuck etc over time. I have built a lot of subaru's in my time, a lot of rally cars etc and I suggest you take a look at one of these before you head out on Bald Mountain. It...

Liana, Totally understandable. Hope you can find some camping close by so you still get a weekend outdoors! (considering you are so-cal, a large portion of the Mojave road could be done with your car and is really awesome, just HOT). Thanks, Nate

Dan, Hopping in the passenger seat for the ride up Bald Mtn is the best plan for your rig. I am sure we can find an empty seat for ya! Thanks, Nate

Liana, I am sure we can help spot you through. I admire your desire to go for it in the outback, but would like to mention that I agree with Charlie that this is going to challenge your vehicle. There will be at least a high probability of trail damage. We have enough recovery gear to hook...

Liana, For further reference, here is a post on the subaru forester forum from OB member @FozRoamer, whom has a VERY built 3rd gen Foz who did the run last year. http://www.subaruforester.org/vbulletin/f102/bald-mountain-ca-4x4-offroad-trail-628426/ Below is a video he took during the run...

That is the correct address.

Liana, I do not have the GPS file that Charlie is planning the route from, but if it is the same as the route taken at last years off the grid rally there was an outback that was stopped by the first gatekeeper and it could not make it through. That said, I am not sure if it was lifted etc, nor...

Congrats sir!

The wife and I were planning on heading up early on Friday, so we can lead if anyone else wants to go up early. Otherwise we will run up there and poke around and meet up when everyone arrives. Lastly, I am game for dispersed or the group spot

In, +the wifey, possibly a second passenger but unlikely

I diy'd my shell. Now, it is far from perfect and I learned a ton doing it, which is why I started there. I wanted it black, and was pondering rhino lining or plastidip and decided to try vinyl and was ok with mistakes on it. (first large area I have done, had done smaller items before) but at...

Thank you sir, OD Green is actually the color I may be wrapping the truck. I was at OTG this last weekend and there was someone there with a wrapped rig, they reported it being pretty durable as well.
