A guy did it last year in one. He said he hit underneath a few times on the way down, but was ok. He had all terrain tires though...

Edit: there's a requirement list on the link!
SLO Rob is correct. There is a “4wd w/lift” requirement. The last couple years have had many stock height vehicles. I wonder why, maybe they had complaints?

With so many groups, there have been times when the stock vehicles have taken a lot more time to get through a challenge area, putting the group behind, which can lead to a domino effect with other groups behind them. Not to say most stock 4x4 ‘s will have a problem, as from being a local and witnessing some of the most uncommon vehicles making it to the top, most will be ok.

We just realized that fall break for the kids was the week following OTG and we had been planning on taking a long trip over fall break. Those two conflicts won out over the wedding. It helps that my wife wasn't very keen on attending the wedding, as she would't know anybody there, and I only know the groom and maybe two or three other people that would be in attendance.

We are in. I was wondering if there was a rally point to take off from the Bay Area in a convoy group? I can either go from SJ or the Dublin route.

As we get closer, be on the lookout for posts. I am sure there will be a couple coming your way!
