| In order to become a member of the San Diego 4 Wheelers, prospective members must own a suitable 4x4, attend 3 meetings and participate in 6 events within a 1 year period, and be voted in by the membership.

| A suitable 4x4 is just about any 4wd vehicle with a wheelbase under 104 inches and a 2 speed transfer case. Full size rigs have problems on some of the trails we do. While the wheelbase limit can be waived by a vote of the membership (and we do have a couple of members with full-sized rigs), those in the larger vehicles stand an excellent chance of experiencing severe body damage.

| While modifications allow one to participate in the more difficult runs, stock vehicles are perfectly acceptable. Any brand is ok, although about 75% of our members own Jeeps. The vehicle will be required to pass a safety inspection.

| Meetings are held the first Thursday of each month at 7:00 pm except for the month of Febuary at the Automotive Museum in Balboa Park. It is located near the Aerospace museum. Head south on Hwy 163 to the Interstate 5/Park Blvd exit, and exit on Park Blvd. Turn left (north), go to the first entrance to Balboa Park, and turn left again.
Here is a map. Look for a bunch of Jeeps.

| * |
| Events are usually runs (we do at least one run a month), but also may be promotions (usually done in conjunction with local off road shops), fundraisers (such as yard sales), or other events (annual Christmas party). There is never a charge at events, unless the facility we are using charges a fee (campground, etc.)

| Dues are $20.00 per year and include a vehicle plaque and flag. Additional plaques, t-shirts, jackets, etc. may be purchased by members.
