Took my stock 2004 4Runner all the way to the top, but I really wouldn't recommend it. Mostly did it to prove to myself that I could. It's not technically difficult, but it's a ton of driving on the loosest rock I've ever seen called a "road." Pretty easy for stock vehicles to get to the Pearl Pass junction. I'd recommend Subarus park just below the bridge by the waterfall, the real crux of the drive is the rock obstacles between the bridge and the junction. If you don't have big tires or a vendetta against the road (like I did), just park at or below the junction and enjoy the hike up, it's not that long.
