More About Us

We're always open to new friends and members, so we encourage guest participation on our trail runs and other activities. We’re all about the enjoyment of wheeling, the outdoors and the friendships that come along with it, all in a relaxed atmosphere.

We welcome new-comers to rock-crawling, as well as the seasoned wheelers, and although we typically run more difficult trails, we help the adventurists' in their less modified rigs get through many of the trails we run. If your rig has more mods than ours and you've done harder trails than we've published, please come joins us, for we are always interested in new challenges.

In addition to and for our love for wheeling, we enjoy barbecue 'picnics' for our trip lunch breaks, long weekend camping trips and hold monthly club meetings where we get together to socialize and plan our upcoming activities.

Activities

Day Trips within a couple of hours of the Denver Area (each way)

Our Trail Style

The 4x4 trails that we run can be anywhere from scenic to extreme, with most being more difficult. We frequent trails in Colorado and Utah, and look forward to exploring Arizona , South Dakota and New Mexico in the future, as some of our members already have.

Our Rigs

Our members drive both short and long wheel-base, moderately to heavily modified, ‘daily driver’ league vehicles with 33-37" Tires, 2-6" Lifts, Armor (Lots is better), Lockers, Winch, etc... We're all very familiar with the occasional dents, dings and scratches on our own levels, and have all been there! Just for fun, we have a club "Quarter Jug" for donations for each incident of breakdowns, taking a strap, having to winch, trail building (stacking rocks), etc... See Quarter Jug Rules for more information.

If You'd Like To Join Us On The Trail... We have a few requirements, recommendations and suggestions.

Requirements:

Driver must be familiar with the off-road operation of their rigs
Rigs must be in good repair, and reasonably capable of withstanding potential extreme conditions
Must have a good recovery attachment point - ex. Bumpers w/tow hooks, pins, clevis mounts or a receiver tow hook.
Driver must not be overly concerned with collateral damage

Recommendations:

Undercarriage Armor - diff skids, gas tank skid, HD center skid, oil pan skid (all highly recommended)
An aggressive all-terrain tire, in good condition and capable of being aired down to at least 15#'s
Should have at least some type of locker in the rear axle
Driver must not be overly concerned with collateral damage
31" tires (at the very min.) with some kind of spare (even if it gets left at the trail-head)

Suggestions:

A vehicle in good mechanical condition - the last place you want to break down is on some tough-remote trail. We do realise that the nature of this type of wheeling is prone to trail breakages, so please bring some tools and any spare parts you have available. "No One gets left Behind"
Drivers should have a good operational knowledge of their rigs.
Body Armor - HD rocker skids, HD bumpers are recommended.

Tools, Parts & Supplies

We carry tools and some spare parts for both minor and major trail repairs. The club typically carries a 12V wire-feed welder on trail runs, and some of us have pneumatic tools that make the toughest trail fixes a little easier, or even possible. Many of or our members are very experienced with 'trail repairs', and have gotten us out of some pretty tough 'fixes'. For an example of this, check out the Moab Trip Report May 2007.

If you like challenging your rig, as well as your wheeling prowess, feel free to join us. "What Are You Waiting For?"
