:welcome: to the site. I'm in the Houston area. Big city lots of people, and we have about 7 or 8 members within 70 miles of me. So it's possible you could find someone on xjtalk that is close to you but not likely.

xjtalk is really a forum, not a club. It's a world wide site, with most people in the U.S. but we do sport several international members. What we can offer you is a good friendly place to get help, share your ideas, and have a chuckle or two.

Don't take this as don't look for friends on xjtalk, but I just wanted to reset your expectation level. A local club is your best bet for what you described.

I don't know much about them but here's an organization I've heard of in the past over in Cali.

But you've done good so far, this is the best place for "real" jeepers. Welcome to xjtalk!

Welcome Darin

I am up in NorCal. Bit of a drive. But there is plenty to see in CA, probably the best wheeling state after Utah and Colorado. You might want to check out the Big Bear area. There is something for everyone there. Also the Dusey Ershom trail isn't that far from you.

Thanks for posting me back,but I'm getting alittle worried because I have'nt heard anything from someone so what near my town here in Moorpark, C.A, which is about 45 or so miles west of L.A and about 30 miles east of Ventura, so if anyone out there or knows someone who is in my area I would love to hear from them, E-mail [email protected]

Thank you for letting me know that, I did think I would have to find a club in my area but I just was visiting my so in C.O, he has a 4X4 and he told me about the forum he joined there and they go on 1-2 days trips and also have meets where they would help each other work on their trucks, and he also met some guys that now are good friends, so happens one of them live 1/2 a block away, so thanks for the advice I guess I will have to some searching to find one, maybe just google 4-wheeling clubs !
