Joining a 4-wheel drive club can be easy and fun.
Difficulty Level: easy Time Required: three months or more
Here's How:
- Find a few clubs in your area. You should look into more then one.
- Find out where and when they meet.
- Go to a few meetings to learn more about the club and the people in the club.
- Ask to see their bylaws. The bylaws could tell you a lot about a club.
- Go on a few 4-wheel drive trips with the club.
- Make sure they are responsible 4-wheelers. There is no need to get in with outlaw clubs.The sport can't afford these kind of clubs if it is to continue being a sport.
- Once you find you like a certain club ask what it takes to join. Usually it is three meetings and three trips before you can be voted into a club. You should already have a few of each done by now.
- Have fun and enjoy.
- Take your time. Check out the clubs well before you join. Nothing is worse then being stuck with a bunch of people you don't want to be around for a whole weekend.
- While at the first meeting take a look at the vehicles before you go in. Are they like what you drive? Are they are well built or are they mostly stock?
