Howdy!

My name is Chris and I am the Club Leader and Founder.

I am a lover of nature and 4-wheeling. I am pushing for the unification of all 4X4 owners to keep our trails open and keep our public lands, open to the public.

I drive a 1984 Toyota pickup and a 1987 Toyota 4-Runner. I don't think what a person drives is nearly as important as their passion for responsible 4-wheeling.

There's a lot of Jeeps on the road nowdays, and there's a lot of "Jeep Attitude" or "Jeep Pride" out there. With all the trail closures in the recent past and more are to come in the future, there's way more to 4-wheeling than jumping into your Jeep and going where you have a mind to. A guy (or gal) in a Jeep can ruin a trail, or get it closed just as quick as a guy in a Toyota, or a full sized Chevy.

My point is, we are going to have to educate all 4X4 owners so we can preserve our sport of 4-wheeling! My Toyotas will be as worthless sitting in my driveway as your Jeeps sitting in yours. So let's unite! Let's keep our trails clean and safe, so we can keep them open for 4X4 use. One for all and all for one!

Immediate payment from new members are not required. Try us out for a month. Going on a Trail Run with us is the best way to see who we are and how we interact on the trail. The forums are OK too, but remember, it's just words on a computer screen. If you like what we do and want to be a part of a great organization, pay your intiatation fee. If you decide not to stick around, go your own way. There's no obligation for anyone to join.
