The Eastside 4 Wheel Drive Club is just one of Eastside Christian Church's Extremeside Ministries. We are comprised of friendly recreationists from our church. We get together a couple times each year for 4x4 trail adventures which generally take place in the Forests and Deserts of Southern California. These trips are designed for moderately equipped 4 wheel drive Jeeps and other small 4x4 vehicles and often have short side-trips which provide a more extreme challenge for our better equipped enthusiasts and entertainment for the rest of us. The club is leaning toward more difficult trails now, so no more large work trucks. To see what can happen if you bring one, click here (high speed internet required for this video).

Our events are open not only to Eastside members, but also to visitors and friends, regardless of their spiritual orientation. You are encouraged to invite anyone who enjoys the spirit of adventure and who has an appropriate vehicle, or who wants to ride along with you in yours. The events are somewhat of an outreach, in that visitors can see that Christians know how to have good, clean fun.

To ensure that our outings are safe and comply with all local, state and federal regulations of the areas we use, this event is only open to STREET-LEGAL 4 WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLES, which must be operated at all times by a responsible licensed driver. We regret that no other types of vehicles can be allowed on the outings. If you own dirt bikes, quads, dune buggies, or just like to thrash your 2 wheel drive, then Praying In The Dirt, another of our Extremeside Ministries at Eastside, is the place for you. Please see their website on the Family Life Ministries page on Eastside.com.

Admission to our events is free. You pay nothing to Eastside, however, there are times when the United States Forestry Service (USFS) and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) charge a nominal fee for us to use our own public lands, typically $5-10 per day or $30 per year for an Adventure Pass or the like.
