Hi there!
I'm planning a one-month trip in Morocco this February. Initially it should have been me on a Husqy 701, my sister on a DRZ400 and a friend would be keen to join us with my Subaru Forester SF5 1999 2.0 S-turbo. It is to be said that the Forester is completely stock and is my daily driver to take me to work and back.

The plan is to haul the bikes on a trailer to south Spain and start from around Algeciras (I have a friend living nearby and I can park the trailer there). From there we would take the ferry to Ceuta, follow the north coast to Oujda and go south thru Rekkam plateau and more or less follow the Algerian border south bound once on the south side of the Atlas, all the way to the coast before coming back up via the Atlantic coast.

Prepping the bikes is no big deal. They are pretty much perfect match for Morocco (except maybe dunes riding the the Suzuki). Throw a pair of Michelin AC10 and a foam filter plus sand-stop and you're good... But what about the car? My friend offered to pay a set of offroad tires and have a skidplate fitted once in Morocco. Do you think the Forester could keep up on the fech fech? (that being the worst type of piste encountered, I think). The ground clearance isn't that big, that is my main concern. I don't want to **** it up too, I need it back home to get me to work (I don't mind the occasional scratch or dented fender tho)

So, to summarize :
Subaru Forester 2.0 turbo (177hp)
1999, odo 160'000kms
New clutch and timing
4 offroad tires
Locally made skiplate
--> Is it "Moroccan pistes capable" ?

If not, what could I add to help? Any tires recommandations? Any input is welcome!

Read you around!
