-Purpose and Aims-
There are no membership dues. This organization is non-profit in character, bringing together
and promoting the interested of 4 wheeling as well as truck shows.
-Membership Rules-
1. No Whiners!
2. Membership is open to owners of lifted or modified 4 wheel drive vehicles or 2 wheel drive
prerunners, by invitation, who have participated in at least 2 club activities within a period of 1 year. Trail rides are
open to non members so they can check things out.
3. The minimum age for members shall be 18 years. Each member must
hold a valid driver's license and have adequate insurance coverage as required by New York State law.
4. Roll bars
are required in soft-top vehicles; Functional seat belts are required for all vehicles, one for each occupant; other equipment
may be required as governed by the rules of that specific event.
5. To remain in good club standing a club member
must attend 3 club functions per year. Active club members must attend 6 club functions per year.
6. All members must
conduct themselves in a responsible, respectable and orderly fashion at all times. Under no circumstances will there be any
making fun of or putting down someone else's vehicle or that person. We are here to have fun and to help each other as a team.
Any members that have a disagreement with each other should take it up with the club officers, we do not except any fighting
among members. Remember you represent the group as a whole.
7. Members are responsible for all their own expenses (food, fuel,
repairs, etc.)
8. Consumption of alcoholic beverages or intoxicants of any kind on trail runs
is strictly prohibited.
9. Passengers may not drink on trail rides.
10. Violators will get one verbal warning regarding alcohol. The second offense removes you from
the trail ride.
11. Illegal drug use wiil not be tolerated any time during the trail ride. There is no warning-
first offense gets you removed from the trip.
-Own
a suitable 4x4-
Suitable means that the vehicle must be in reasonable condition. The
vehicle is required to have a hard top (roll bar for removable tops), front and rear tow points, hooks, or hitches (for adequate
tow-strap/winch point), seat belts for all passengers (passengers may not ride in the rear of pickup beds!), functional parking
brake, battery hold-down, and be covered by liability insurance as deemed by New York State Law and licensed. Your vehicle
must also pass a basic club safety inspection. While stock 4x4s are more than welcome to join the club, vehicle modifications
such as lifts, oversized tires, locking differentials, winches, etc. will allow you to do some of the more difficult trails
as well as make like easier on every trail. You will need to keep a good attitude towards body damage as it happens to the
best of us from time to time. You must be self sufficient (bring your own tow straps, spares, tools, jacks, food, etc.) Remember,
vehicles are repairable!
-Ride
at your own risk-
Remember you are wheeling at your own risk. The club is not responsible
for any damages, injuries, loss, theft, or anything else. You are with us because you want to be, not because we are forcing
you into anything. You have the option not to attempt any trail that you feel is more difficult than you would like to do,
or if you feel it presents any sort of danger to you and/or others with you. There is almost always a bypass around the trail.
We will however, be more than willing to pull you out if you get stuck, lend a hand repairing your vehicle should it break
(this does not include paying for parts or repairs at automotive shops, dealers, etc), loan you a part if we have it, or provide
some guidance should you need help finding the right line to get through a trail.
