I am also a want-ta-be club member for some Xterra group in SoCal...

The SCCX group is way cool as you can see for yourself: http://thelizards.com/xterra

The Anza trip was great and I am looking forward to the Mohave Road in April.

There are other 4X4 groups in San Diego, but most of them are Jeep, lockers, axle bustin' folks. Don't get me wrong... they are great folks, just into a little more extreme sports.

I think you would find the SCCX a good mix of hardware and people... and you don't have to worry about body damage.

See ya on the trail,
Doc
