This sounds like a good idea, though it also sounds like a lot of extra work and to be honest I'm already near capacity with just running the site on the side of regular work, life, etc. Are you volunteering your time? With a few leadership roles filled I think something like this would be great, though it would first be a matter of finding people who could devote the time.
I had a plan at one point to add a 'supporting member' role within the site that would be given to paying members and would enable discussion in private forums not visible to the public. I know sometimes there is concern in our community about who might be reading and this leads to hesitations around sharing good routes. I actually already have the functionality built but never rolled it out. I'm not sure if there is demand for something like this, but perhaps at some point I'll do a test run and see if anyone is interested. I could see some overlap with what you're proposing as well.
^^ We haven't actually been of much help have we? :) Yes, 4x4 is absolutely necessary for anything even remotely off road (imo). Beyond that, as you've probably surmised toyota and jeep are the primary contenders here, though really anything with a bit of ground clearance will work. As far as flipping goes, most trucks have a similar roll angle so I don't think that should factor in at all. Beyond that - toyotas are the most reliable, jeeps are probably the most capable 'out of the box'.

Right on! Which route did you take in - skutz? I know you can also get in there from the Shawnigan side too, though some routes are gated.
Hey welcome to the site. Nice looking Xterra - do you run with no front bumper? I feel like my rad wouldn't last long doing that around here.
What are the km? Also, does it have the rear diff locker?
