Thanks to LassyKongo for photo! Off the Beaten Trail Off-road endurance meetNote: This is a slightly different meet than the Off the Beaten Path. This meet will have several optional challenges along the way, which could result in your vehicle being destroyed.
Rules:
This is not a race! Take your time, try not to crash into others. If you feel like your vehicle will not make it up a hill, please pull off to the side so it doesn't cause a jam. If your vehicle becomes disabled, or is stuck and can not continue please hop in with someone else so you can still enjoy the route. You can call the mechanic at the next rest stop. If you see someone stuck please help them out by either picking them up or getting them unstuck if possible. Ask first. Try to not get too close to the driver in front of you in case they get stuck or roll over. No guns!!! Only vehicles on the list will be allowed. Teamspeak required! All Bullshifters Rules apply as well. Have FUN!
The List: (Note: I have not tested all of these cars on the trek, but I am sure if they are modified to max they will not have any issues except for the challenges) Off-road class: BF Bifta Nagasaki Blazer Canis Bodhi Coil Brawler Dubsta 6x6 BF Dunebuggy Bravado Duneloader Bravado Bison Nagasaki Hot Rod Blazer BF Injection Canis Kalahari Canis Mesa Off-road Karin Rusty Rebel + Clean Rebel Vapid Sandking + Sandking XL Vapid Bobcat XL Vapid Guardian Vapid Sadler Canis Crusader SUV class: Declasse Rancher XL Karin BeeJay XL Benefactor Dubsta Canis Mesa Mammoth Patriot Canis Seminole
Rally Class: Karin Sultan Karin Sultan RS Karin Kuruma Dinka Jester (Racecar version) Dewbauchee Massacro (Racecar version)
Date: Sunday May 22nd, at 10:30 AM EDT

Sign me up. I noticed the Gallivanter Baller is not on the list. I am assuming you forgot to put it on the list. Is it okay if I bring this vehicle?

If I know Soil then it's probably not on the list for a reason. That reason is probably that it doesn't have the ground clearance that proper off-roaders have and therefore will probably not make it through some of the sections alive. Also, in my opinion the baller doesn't really shout "off-road", more "upper-class SUV". Is it even 4wd? I haven't checked, if it's not then it definitely won't make some parts.

I believe the Baller has more clearance than the Bravado Bison but that's still on the list. I also believe the Bravado Bison and Vapid Sadler are rear-wheel drive and they are still on the list. It says in brackets he hasn't tested all the cars out on his off-road course so he/she doesn't even know if they will make some sections. You are correct, the Baller is more of an upper-class SUV. Correct me if I am wrong but I believe the Gallivanter Baller is supposed to replicate the Land Rover Range Rover in real life. Range Rovers are indeed high-class SUV's and they also dominate off-road courses. And yes, I believe the Baller is 4WD. You may doubt this vehicle might make it to the finish line, but I'm always up for a challenge. So, is this your event or Soilworker's? If it's your event, and you do not allow this vehicle I will easily pick another one that is on the list. If not, then I am asking Soilworker.

Main reason it, and other vehicles aren't on the list: I am lazy and copy-pasted list from last off-road trek.
Now, Jamie does have a point with it being geared more towards the upper-class SUV. Not too many people would just take their nice shiny Rover and go mudding with it right off the bat. But that isn't enough to say that some might just do that.
If you want to bring a Baller to the meet, then that is fine with me. It's just not the typical car you would see driving down a dirt trail.

"Now, Jamie does have a point with it being geared more towards the upper-class SUV." I see the Mammoth Patriot and Dubsta 6x6 is on the list. I believe these vehicles replicate the Hummer and Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6x6 in real-life. You don't consider these vehicles high-end? "It's just not the typical car you would see driving down a dirt trail." And that's why we have car washes.

Yes, the Dubsta 6x6 and Patriot are high end vehicles, but they are somewhat capable of offroading because of their high ground clearance, that's why they're on the list (atleast I think that's the reason). The only "offroading" the Baller does is driving over curbs in the Vinewood Boulevard since it's more of a luxury SUV rather than a offroading vehicle

I was only providing a possible explanation to your question and also warning you to the fact I know Soil puts a lot of effort into his meets so there might have been a reason to it not being there. I also only provided my opinion of the Baller and as I mentioned I am no expert on the thing. I can say that the Salder is indeed 4WD but i cannot speak for the Bison. I don't think this topic, or any thing I said was grounds to get aggressive but I'm sorry if I upset you. Like I said, I never told you that it wasn't allowed, I just gave an opinion.
