Eastern 4-Wheelers is centered in Connecticut but we have members hailing from all over the Northeast. We are an environmentally conscious and family oriented club who seek to enjoy and promote the sport of driving 4-wheel drive vehicles over challenging terrain consisting mainly of open, unmaintained town roads and private land.

We actively participate in land issues by being politically active and environmentally conscious by doing regular trail clean ups/maintanence and Adopt-A-Road programs. Our community service projects include food drives, toys for tots events and inclement weather transportation for Drs and nurses.

The purposes of this club as organized are:

  • To provide social, recreational, and educational events and activities for its membership.
  • Work to maintain existing trails and find new land to be used for recreational 4 wheeling.
  • Promote the responsible and safe use of 4 wheel drive vehicles.
  • To be readily available, when called upon, to help in emergencies where our 4 wheel drive vehicles and personnel are needed.
  • Become involved with the legislative process in an effort to effect a positive outcome on land use issues as it relates to our sport.

  • Mid Summer & Coco Crispies
    As always seems to be the case a LOT is going on. I always fear that I am forgetting something or many things when I write this. If I had a full time or even part time secretary, I might be OK.. but seeing as my salary doubled from last year I simply can not afford to hire one.. unless they'd be willing to work for the same pay that I get. FREE! We're midway through the 08 season pretty much and

  • PUSH THROUGH IT!!!
    If we all did the things we are capable of doing we would literally astound ourselves. Thomas Alva EdisonEverybody knows what the focus of 4x4 clubs is; wheeling. But what happens when the wheeling just isn’t enough? Should we fight the tide of membership loss and start pushing ways to retain the numbers or should we accept the change and work with the numbers we end up with? Man, those are some
  • Past, Present, and Future
    Looking back... By now you've seen (I hope) Dave's Land Use Blog referencing the closures in CT, the DEC changes in the wind in NY, and the MA legislation. REMEMBER TO WRITE IN AND THEN CALL ABOUT THE ISSUES THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO US! We constantly ask ourselves "How do the greenies get us everytime?". It's obvious; they get mad, get organized, and ACT!!! We're getting outgunned on the front.
  • Where do you go for motivation?
    The last month and a half or so things have slowed to a crawl in our region. Trail rides, communication, volunteering; they’ve all been shelved for one reason or another. Unfortunately, my motivation tanked recently and I couldn't find the ladder to get out of that hole. I have a general feeling that it's a wider issue than me, too. I know the price of gas has many of us shaking our heads as we
