Getting Involved
The old-fashioned way to get involved is to come along to a club meeting, meet other members and find out about coming trips that you would like to attend.
You can also get involved by messaging a club member on this site who has posted up a trip, responding to their thread, or hitting us up on Facebook.
What do you need to attend a Club Trip:
The minimum equipment for anyone attending a club trip is as follows:
1 x snatch strap
2 x rated shackles
1 x fire extinguisher
1 x first aid kit
All of these items can be bought from your local 4wd Accessories shop, and are good to have items in your car whether you become a club member or not.
Trip standards:
We run trips from easy to hard. Our ratings work as follows:
Easy: No significant problems for inexperienced drivers and aimed at standard cars. Good introductory trip and suitable for anyone with any level of skill/experience. Unlikely that recovery would be required.
Medium: A reasonably skilled driver in a standard car will do fine. Mild off road upgrades such as small tyre diameter increase or more aggressive tread pattern will be helpful. Recovery is likely. Vehicle damage is unlikely.
Hard: A standard vehicle is unlikely to complete the trip. 31" tyres and at least one diff lock recommended. Vehicle damage is possible and might be difficult to avoid due to track conditions. In general, a trip will be rated hard if there are no bypasses for difficult obstacles.
Our most popular and best attended trips are medium trips. These generally offer a range of experiences to keep everybody entertained.
Vehicle Type:
We are primarily about the Suzukis, but we do accept non-suzuki 4wd vehicles also.
Please note that we do not allow motorbikes on club trips unless approved by the trip leader.
Club Magazine:
No.
Club Driver Training:
No. But we do have options to practice recovery techniques at a private property the club has access to as well as many experienced club members willing to assist. Email info@vic.suzuki4wd.com to arrange
