A
fter 55 years of existence, it looks like it’s time to shake things up at bit with the
way we do things in the association. The In Gear is no exception. At Convention
I mentioned to the delegates that it’s time to focus on the people who four-
wheel, not just the vehicles and the latest land battles. Our leaders, legislators and land
managers need to know that people use public lands, and it’s people that they are
shutting out when a trail gets closed.
We want to know more about you -- those people on the trails. Write to us and tell us
your story. How did you get involved? What motivates you to pay your dues, to volunteer, to bring your children along, to help us with the land use battles that we fight? I will
print as many as I can, both in print and online. Send me your story and photos at
[email protected] or post them on Facebook at http://facebook.com/cal4wheel
See you on the trail.

PRESIDENT’S REPORT
STEVE EGBERT
PRESIDENT
M
Y FIRST EVENT WAS
THE MOLINA GHOST
RUN IN 2003 AND I DID
NOT KNOW WHAT WAS
GOING ON OR WHAT TO
EXPECT...
OLD THINGS DONE NEW
WAYS
At convention this year
we proudly celebrated 55
years. Over those 55 years
we have done many great
things and they need to
continue, but times are
changing. We need to do
think how to do things in
new innovative ways. We
cannot say that is how we
have always done it as numbers decline, we need to
embrace new ideas, but not
abandon tradition, just bring
new life to the great things
we have always done.
Win-a-Jeep was a great
example, we just gave
away the first Jeep built by
one builder, Poison Spyder
Customs, and it was a great
success. I thank Larry McRae
and his crew for a job well
done. The idea to do Win-aJeep different started when
Mark Cave and I were driving to a meeting and talking
along the way. We each
ran the idea past a potential
builder and we were off and
running, with Jeff Blewett
spearheading the project.
Some said it would not work,
well it did, just different.
MetalCloak is up next
with the 2015 Win-aJeep. See the article from
MetalCloak elsewhere in this
issue for the details and to
find out how to get tickets.
“GO ON AN ADVENTURE
WITH US”
Do you remember the
first Cal 4 Wheel event you
went to? Did you go by
yourself or with a group?
Have you ever been to an
event? My first event was the
Molina Ghost Run in 2003
and I did not know what was
going on or what to expect,
not much has changed in
11 years except the opportunity to fix the problem
with social media, YouTube
and our website, but we
have not. We can also solve
a second problem we had
this year, there were no
applicants for the foundation scholarships that require
20 hours of service to the
association. Students looking
for hours can help provide
well written descriptions and
video of each event please
contact me if you or you
student are interested in
working on this project so
I can connect you with the
appropriate run chairperson.
This is a high priority project
moving forward.
BUILDING STRONG
RELATIONSHIPS
Building on our work
from Johnson Valley and
other ongoing projects in
the land use arena 2014 we
look to build stronger relationships with our partners
in the California Motorized
Recreation Council:
The Off-Road Business
Association
American Motorcyclists
Association National
AMA District 36

KINGSBURG SNOW POKER
RUN
As a side note: I spent this
past weekend at Kingsburg’s
club’s 40th annual Snow
Poker Run “Always Held
on the first Saturday in
March” enjoying the fresh
snow. A huge thanks for
the handicap parking, getting escorted to campfire by
the Thomas family, Bobby
Thomas for fixing my flat
at air down/staging area (I
lost the inner valve from the
valve stem) and finally these
two guys....Jeromy Rocha
and Brian (yellow blazer
guy) for actually making me
stay in my truck (because
they noticed how tired I
are welcome and encouraged to join us. The meeting starts at 9:00 AM and
is going to be held at La
Fogata Mexican Restaurant,
2940 W Florida Ave, Hemet,
CA. The following meeting
is July 19, 2014, but we need
a club to host the meeting!
And then October 11, 2014

was) while they filled up my
tires with air. Yes, they have
an air up station at end of
trail! I would take a lot for
me to miss their Snow Run.
While sitting by campfire
that day, a baby black widow
spider started to crawl up my
hand. I jump up and brushed
it off and then smashed it
with my red wings. I then
decided to inspect my
camping chair for the babies’
mom... my son Austin said
don’t worry, when mommy
spiders have babies they
perish... I sat down again,
then Austin said, yeah the
mommy dies, but I DON’T
KNOW ABOUT THE DADDY
SPIDERS? Okay, I am lying
about jumping, but I was up
pretty quick for having one
leg. My son cracked me up!

VP REPORTS
JEFF BLEWETT
NORTH DISTRICT VICE
PRESIDENT
I just got back from a
very windy weekend in the
desert at the 52nd TDS
Desert Safari. I’m still cleaning dirt out of everything I
took down to the desert. For
me it is about a nine hour
drive down to Ocotillo Wells
SVRA. I towed the XVenture
trailer down to Desert Safari
and we made it into base
camp about 2AM Friday
morning. It was very windy
on Friday and we had wind
gusts over 40 mph in the
afternoon that made Friday
a pretty miserable day. Not
too many people ventured
out of their RV’s until after
dark when the winds died
down. Saturday was better
and the crowds were out at
the vendor show checking
out the 2014 Sweepstakes
Jeep and X-Venture trailer.
Tickets sales were very good
on Saturday and as it would
be expected Sunday was
gorgeous... to drive home.
WINTER FUN FESTIVAL
2014
We had about 300 participants this year at WFF.
Attendance was lower than
usual due to not having
any snow, but we still had
a good crowd at the fairgrounds. The weather was
warm and the participants
had a good time on whatever trail they decided to
go on. Jo Synder will be the
Chairperson next year and
she will start planning later in
the year. Hopefully we can
get some snow next year!!!
SIERRA TREK 2014
Amy Sagraves is the
Sierra Trek Chairperson this
year and she has already
had her first planning meeting in January. If you are
interested in helping out the
event please contact Amy;
I’m sure she can help you
find a place in the event to
volunteer. Participant and
Committee registrations
have already opened up so
please register early.
2014 CONVENTION
I would like to thank Amy
Cave and her committee for
the recent 2014 Convention
in Visalia. The hospitality
room and the vendor/car
show were well attended
and I think everyone had
a great time. I have always
enjoyed Convention, but
when you’re on the Board
of Directors, Convention
seems like endless meetings,
a banquet, more meetings
and then you go home. But
it’s always great to see old
friends and meet new ones
who have the same passion
for our sport as we do.
SWEEPSTAKES JEEP 2014
This year’s program is
over and the Jeep is off to
Idaho with its new owner.
The winner could not stop
smiling the entire time he
checked out his new ride.
He owns a Jeep already
and plans to come to Sierra
Trek. This year’s program
did very well and the details
will be out soon. This year
I decided to track where
our income came from this
year and was I surprised on
how much was generated
by social media and articles
in the major 4x4 magazines.
It shows how important it is
for us to foster good relationships with editors of all
types social and print media.
We did a good job this
year but there is definitely
room for improvement. The
other important decision to
be made is which events
to take the Jeep to. We did
very well this year because
we had volunteers to help us
move the Jeep around the
state that did not charge us
much or anything for fuel
or mileage costs. We will
not always have volunteers
like this, so we need to be
careful when scheduling
which events the Jeep will
attend. Steve Gardiner did
a great job organizing the
events in SoCal and trailering
the Jeep all over the state.
He received an award for
all his hard work.... He’s my
co-chair on the 2014 SVP.
Who says every good deed
doesn’t go unpunished.
There are lot things I
could talk about when it
comes to getting the Jeep
ready or getting the Jeep
transported up and down the
state but the most important
thing to talk about is all the
people that made it happen.
I want to thank all the volunteers who helped sell tickets
at their club meetings, events
or helped us staff our booths
at all the events we attended.
But a special thanks to goes
out to:
Larry McRea and the
staff at Poison Spyder
Customs - For building
such an awesome Jeep
for us.
Steve Gardiner Organized all the SoCal
events and transported
the Jeep all over the
state.
Jim Bramham –

NATURAL RESOURCES REPORTS
JIM BRAMHAM
NATURAL RESOURCES
CONSULTANT
I
BOUGHT MY JEEP IN
1971; THE VERY FIRST
PLACE I TOOK IT WAS
PISMO BEACH.
I am freshly back from the
wonderful Cal4 Convention.
I want to say thank you to
the entire Central District
and specifically Amy and
Mark Cave and Steve Egbert
for a stellar job putting on
this year’s Convention. I’ve
always enjoyed attending our
Conventions, where we see
old friends, hear the buzz of
new ideas and relive the long
history of our Association.
It was a particular honor for
me this year to honor Betty
Morris at the evening banquet. I had the opportunity to
sit down with Steve and their
son Rick to reflect on her life
and accomplishments. To
put her life that was so filled
with service down on paper
and bring it to life before the
delegates was a humbling
task. Betty had accomplished
much in her lifetime and
contributed greatly to the
sport of OHV. It was very
gratifying to hear the stories
about her from so many
throughout the weekend.
Our hearts go out to Steve
and Rick as they mourn her
loss.
One of the subjects that
was often repeated at this
year’s Convention was about
the need to bring a greater
element of human interest
and the enjoyment of our
sport to the pages of the
In Gear. There is certainly a
need to convey the kinds of
information that keep people
aware of the political, land
management, and litigation
aspects of our sport. Very
few, if any of us, go to the
garage on a Wednesday
night to take a look at our
toys and think much of that
side of the equation. It is
more about where we’re
going this weekend, what
new gadget we can add,
or attending to the scars
from our last run. I know
this is certainly true for me.
I’m blessed with an overactive mechanical mind that
is always thinking of some
new project or better idea
to enhance my outdoor
experiences. So I plan to add
some more of this type of
information in my future col-

and use that same Jeep and
it has been on hundreds of
dune trips throughout the
West. In 1999 it became
increasingly obvious that the
environmental community
was obsessed with ending or
severely curtailing OHV use
in the Imperial Sand Dunes,
a.k.a. Glamis. At that point I

need to put a tie on for.
I started my love of sand
dune recreation in 1964 (age
9) on a family trip along the
Oregon coast. It was there
I got my first dune ride in a
cut down old pickup with
airplane tires. I spent my
entire allowance for the trip
taking repeated trips in that
old pickup. My first fourwheel-drive vehicle was a
1960 International Travelall.
It was by no means a sand
travel vehicle but it went
through snow like Mikey
went through Life cereal.
I bought my Jeep in 1971;
the very first place I took it

It was also the time that the
fledgling organization, the
American Sand Association
(ASA), was forming to battle
this threat. I was asked in an
interview why I so ardently
supported OHV use in the
dunes and would use so
much of my time toward
that goal. I said the answer
is fairly simple, I want my yet
unborn grandchildren to be
able to enjoy the sport and
all that it offers. Foremost,

T
HIS IS THE BEGINNING
OF THE PUBLIC
REVIEW TIME FOR
THE OHMVR (GREEN
STICKER) GRANTS FOR
THE CURRENT GRANT
CYCLE. FOR THE FIRST
TIME IN SEVERAL YEARS,
THE GRANT PROGRAM IS
FULLY FUNDED.
CALIFORNIA AIR
RESOURCES BOARD
CARB is beginning the
public process of creating a
rule that will impact many
off-road vehicles. Currently,
it remains unclear as to the
total impact of the proposed
new rule that targets emissions from gas tanks of vehicles used off-highway. The
focus appears to be aimed
at motorcycles. The overall
program is on the “fast track”
and legislation will probably
be pushed.
Early information available reveals a test plan that
includes no provision for
factoring in or eliminating the potential for “false
positives,” specifically when
it is identified that USED
consumer or rental vehicles
are PROBABLY going to be
the test vehicles with only
a visual or minor inspection for proper functioning.
And, only a single vehicle of
the category is slated to be
tested. Example, one used
KX-85 is to be tested, the
results of that ONE bike will
be the basis for ALL small
two-stroke motorcycles.
While the emission issue
can be easily addressed
with a small modification
(charcoal canister that can
capture fumes from the
gas tank), the overall testing
process remains unclear and
the rise of unintended consequences is possible.
As noted, the primary
focus appears to be OHV
motorcycles. However,
wording in the final rule
could apply to a broader
range of vehicles used
off-highway. The issue is
being tracked by American
Motorcyclist Association and
I am in contact with them
to determine what impact, if
any, will apply to non-street
legal 4x4 vehicles.
At this time, if an off-highway motor vehicle meets
current smog standards, this
issue does not apply.
DESERT TORTOISE
The Desert Tortoise
Recovery Implementation
Plan is receiving new attention. I will be attending a
meeting in Las Vegas on
March 11 to find out more
about the scope of the
recovery plan.
CLEAR CREEK
MANAGEMENT AREA
The Record of Decision
has been released on the
CCMA. As expected, recreation is all but eliminated
from the Clear Creek area.
I am working with Blue
Ribbon Coalition, AMA
District 36, and other partners to craft a plan moving forward to challenge
the exclusion of recreation
access to Clear Creek.
OHMVR GRANTS
This is the beginning of
the public review time for
the OHMVR (Green Sticker)
grants for the current grant
cycle. For the first time in
several years, the Grant
Program is fully funded.
OHV LOBBY DAYS
An OHV Lobby Day
is scheduled for March
10. California Association
of 4 Wheel Drive Clubs
(CA4WDC) is among the
oldest OHV associations in
the State of California. Our
members recreate throughout California on federal,
state, county and private
lands. We have, since 1959,
advocated for responsible
use and conservation of
public lands and for the
inclusion of motorized recreation in the mix of recreation options for the public.
What is OHV and why is
it important to every legislator? Simply put, off-highway
vehicle recreation is the use
of motorized vehicles to
access recreation opportunity. Enthusiasts who enjoy
OHV activity live in every
district and visit from out of
state. While the main focus
of CA4WDC is to protect,
promote, and provide for
motorized recreation opportunities, many of our members participate in multiple
forms of recreation; including but not limited to hunting, fishing, camping, hiking,
horseback riding, bicycle
riding, and gem and mineral
collection.
Our association was
pleased when the Governor
appointed General Anthony
L. Jackson as Director
of State Parks and Chris
Conlin as Deputy Director
of the Off Highway Motor
Vehicle Recreation Division
(OHMVR). We have developed an excellent working
relationship with them. We
hope that when you or your
staff are faced with OHV
questions or issues, you will
reach out for their educated
and pragmatic analysis as
well as ours.
The OHMVR Program
(AKA Green Sticker) is a userfunded program created
through legislation in 1971
by using gas tax revenues
that are directly tied to offhighway use to manage
OHV recreation statewide.
The OHMVR Program
manages State Vehicle
Recreation Areas (SVRAs)
throughout the State and
an OHV Grant Program.
The SVRAs are required to
maintain current management plans. Two are undergoing planning document
revisions; Ocotillo Wells
in Imperial County and
Carnegie in eastern Alameda
and San Joaquin Counties.

ting the toys ready, the drives with long
uninterrupted conversations with my
children, the camping experience of
responsibility for all, the mechanical
and physical challenges, and the evening camaraderie.
So New Year’s 2014 marked that
milestone as my three grandchildren
(four year old and two seven year olds)
all on bikes of their own, set out to
explore the small dunes as they begin
their OHV legacies. What a great joy
when my grandsons brought me a
tool and asked how they could help
get their bikes ready for the ride and
my no-fear granddaughter showing
the boys the best way up a dune. The
picture here is not of them on bikes or
with marshmallow sticks in hand, but
of two of them on the swing-set that is
located deep in the dunes.
January brought Winter Fun Festival
or maybe this year Winter Dust Festival.
I have led the Saturday SUV run at WFF
for over 15 years and only twice have
I been able to do the routes we were
able to accomplish this year with the
lower snow level. I find enormous pleasure in leading these runs as they often
have several first-time four-wheelers,
as well as seasoned old curmudgeons
looking for a new experience. This
year’s group was enjoyably interactive
and we passed much history, natural
science, gold rush lore and unrelated
trivia across the airwaves and at lunch.
Among my participants was a mother
and her 11-year-old son in her brand
new Jeep four-door with less than
1,000 miles on it. The young man was
highly intelligent and genuinely inquisitive, so it was fun for all to share in
their excitement of doing exactly what
they had hoped they would find in their
introduction to the sport of four-wheeling. We explored the often forgotten
and minimally visited middle fork of the
Yuba River. There are only two crossings
of this fork both requiring four-wheel
drive. The beauty of this narrow canyon
plus the history and legends of the small
town of Allegheny made for a perfect
day. I also led the Sunday SUV run. It
was an unmitigated success with huge
smiles and high fives.
Last year at Sierra Trek we introduced an overnight SUV trip that high12
lighted the Lake Tahoe area as well as
continuing the Saturday SUV day run. I
will be leading both of these runs again
this August hope that many of you will
think about one or the other of these
runs as part of your Trek experience.
Back in the land-use world, State
Parks OHV Division continues its work
on planning documents for both
Carnegie SVRA and Ocotillo Wells
SVRA. Both of these planning processes have taken the form of a zoning document that would be used by
a county. Each park has been divided
into subset areas, the idea being that
within each of these subsets certain
things will be allowed and others will
be prohibited. The hope is this will
organize the uses and direct them
where they are most sustainable and
acceptable. Both plans are being
closely watched by the environmental
community and that have already filed
or have threatened legal action. It is in
this legally contentious cauldron that
we must press for the maximum possible OHV uses as well as be pragmatic
about the realities facing the planners.
If you visit either of these parks I would
suggest that you become familiar with
the planning process and what the current proposals are. There will become
a time in the future when it becomes
important for the public to participate
and the more knowledge you have
garnered, the more impactful your
involvement will be.
Back to Glamis, this week
marked the fourteenth year of litigation to develop a Recreation Area
Management Plan (RAMP). I have
attended virtually all of the legal proceedings in this case and was there
again Friday (February 28) to watch the
environmentalists’ attorney and the US
Attorney argue before the judge about
allowing the RAMP to take effect. The
environmentalist’s attorney was pleading the emotional side of the case with
virtually nothing of the Court’s previous orders they could challenge. The
US Attorney did an excellent job in
attempting to focus the Judge on her
task at hand and to not chase the red
herrings that were being tossed about
by the plaintiffs. Cal4 Wheel, the Blue
Ribbon Coalition and the American
Sand Association have fought sideby-side as interveners in this case. It is
always uplifting to see our legal team
at work and as usual they made the
most salient points of the entire proceedings. I am unsure whether the
odds at a Vegas crap table are better or
worse than pleading your case in federal court. The Judge had promised an
expeditious ruling in this case and we
hope she will make a decision within
the next six weeks. The environmentalists covet, in the pure biblical sense,
a large area in the center part of the
Dunes. Our legal team and I believe
that they will not accept a ruling that
goes against them by this Judge and
will certainly elevate this to the Ninth
Circuit Court of Appeals. The question would remain whether the Judge
would grant a stay to her ruling leading to the appeal or allow the plan to
take affect during the appeals process.
The plan that is currently used dates to
1985 and does not protect the critical
habitat for the Peirson’s Milk-vetch to
the extent that the new plan would. So
it makes sense to allow the new plan
to govern dune management.
LOBBY DAY
Lobby Day is coming up. This is
an opportunity for the various OHV
groups to introduce themselves to
Legislative members and their staffs.
With term limits the turnover in the
Legislature is extremely high and it is a
constant battle to inform and educate
the new folks. So far this year, there is
no pressing or pertinent OHV related
legislation and the budget battles that
had left the OHV Fund decimated for
several years are now behind us. It
is no time to drop the ball. We must
continue to build the relationships
that will help ward off future budget
insanities and build a strong case to
keep the OHV Program alive and well.
There will be legislation introduced in
the next few years to drop the sunset
clause from OHV regulation. The OHV
Program is the longest running state
program that still faces a sunset clause.
The sunset means that every few years
the program as a whole needs to be
legislatively reauthorized. We are coming up on 45 years that this program
has served the interests of both the
OHV community and addressed environmental concerns. It is well past time
to make this a permanent program.
STEWART REPORT
about these SVRAs. Please use State
Parks or our organization as a reality/
fact filter before taking a position on
these planning processes.
The OHV Grant Program funds
local, county and federal partners who
manage OHV opportunities. These
grants not only help provide safe, sustainable, and environmentally sound
recreation, they support rural econo-
mies. Key components of the OHMVR
Program are the OHMVR Commission,
SVRAs, and the OHV Grant Program.
OHMVR Commissioners are appointed by Governor, State Senate and
Assembly. Maintaining a full complement of commissioners and full grant
funding in the State Budget is important to the viability of the program.
The OHMVR Program is an important
economic driver for the state and its
residents.
The economic tentacles of OHV
activities are not limited to rural counties. Manufacturing, distribution and
sales of ancillary equipment and supplies used in pursuit of recreation supports jobs and local tax bases in urban
and metropolitan areas throughout the
state.
The current OHMVR program is
approaching a sunset date. Extending
and removing that sunset would ensure
the continuation of a recreation opportunity and important economic engine
for the state.

FIRST FIRST LADY BETTY MORRIS PASSES AWAY
Betty J. Morris, the first
First Lady of the California
Association of Four-Wheel
Drive Clubs, passed away
recently. Betty’s life was punctuated with both behind-thescenes volunteerism and outfront leadership.
On a chance meeting at
a roller skating rink in North
Sacramento, she met Steve
Morris with whom she would
share a lifetime of love and
accomplishment.
In the 1950s the Morris’s
became increasingly involved
in outdoor recreation evolving around
the early Jeeps. As charter members
of both the Sacramento Jeepers and
the Tahoe Hi Lo’s, Betty was ever present to do newsletters, mailings, and
coordination of a multitude of events.
When it became evident that a
statewide organization of Jeep clubs
was needed to expand clout, increase
awareness and speak with a unified
voice, the Morris’s traveled bi-monthly
in 1957-58 to pre-organized meetings.
Betty was pivotal in the creation of
the flyer that was sponsored by Jeep
Corporation and sent to all registered
four-wheel-drive owners in the state
in an effort promote awareness in the
organization. Betty produced the publi-
cation that became
the In Gear, the
printed voice of
the organization.
Steve’s leadership
and dedication
brought him the
first presidency
of the organization known
as California
Association of Jeep
Clubs in 1959.
The Morris’
became involved in
Jeepers Jamboree
and fell in love with the Rubicon Trail.
It was through this endeavor that Betty
became to understand the impact of
tourism on rural communities. It also
brought contact with Eugene Chappie
who is credited with the Chappie/
Zeberg Legislation that created the
OHV Program known as Green Sticker.
When Governor George Deukmejian
needed a quality candidate to put
on the California Off Highway Motor
Vehicle Recreation Commission, he
tapped Betty. Betty took this new
opportunity to not just be involved, but
would be committed to the process.
She would scour over grant applications and visit as many sites as possible
to become aware of their needs and
possibilities. Her commitment to the
Program was rewarded by her election
to Chair by her peers. Betty advocated
for education and public awareness
of the sport in all its forms. It was the
tourism element that was the emphasis of her tenure on the Commission.
She would meet with Federal partners,
rural tourism boards as well as boards
of supervisors and city councils to help
them understand the importance of
OHV as an economic engine for rural
California.
Betty took her keen understanding
of OHV issues to a seat on the first
Board of Directors for the Blue Ribbon
Coalition, a national OHV advocacy
organization. She worked with the
International Snowmobile Association
to promote tourism as well as make
the sport safer and more environmentally sustainable.
Betty served on the California
Forestry Association Board of Directors
at the time the organization became a
target for the Unabomber. The attack
killed Gil Murray Executive Director of
the Association and profoundly affected Betty’s understanding of the level of
terror that can be fostered from policy
disagreements.
For Cal Four Wheel she will always
be remembered as the beautiful lady
who was our First.

I just wanted to let you know how
our event turned out. We had a GREAT
Last One Standing event!
With all the rain Friday night, frankly
we were really worried that we would
see a huge drop in turnout, but those
fears quickly disappeared when we
opened our registration table and there
was a big line formed to sign in under
sunny skies.
We had 18 final competitors, with 13
in the Sportsman class and the other
5 in the Unlimited class. The most
challenging obstacles were the granite wall (first event, lots of mud made
it very slick) and the tire pile, which
was attempted by only the unlimited
vehicles with none able to make it over
ot the other side. We awarded two
trophies to the drivers with the fastest
time overall for all events.
We also had great participation from
the spectators, all of them following
our marked courses and watching from
the safe areas that we defined.
Everyone at the event followed the
rules that we spelled out at the beginning and throughout the day, including
no alcohol allowed in the entire area.
Lastly, our registration and raffle
proceeds generated $1,732, which we
donated to Cal4Wheel!
The prizes donated totaled over
$2,500 in value, with the grand prizes
being a Tepui car-top tent, GoPro video
camera, and Smittybilt 8000# winch.
And special thanks to Bonnie Steele
(our CA4WDC office manager) for all
of her help in getting our insurance
together and making it happen!
The Santa Cruz 4 Wheel Drive Club
is truly a great club to be in and I am
extremely rpoud of what we were able
to accomplish together!
Looking forward to another great
year in 2014.
Michelle is the secretary/treasurer for
the Santa Cruz 4WD Club.

that people were hoping
to get. Seriously, who
wouldn’t want an ARB
Fridge? All the “newbies”
on the trail are stoked if
they win the Power Tank.
It’s an air source that
doesn’t take 30 minutes
to air up four tires. Each year, we have
many, many, many happy winners!
How do you get involved? For starters, we have an advertisement in this
In Gear issue that has the information
you will need to register. Or, you can
visit www.4x4inMotion.com to print a

Aloha! That
was your first
clue as to
what 4x4 in
Motion is up to
this year. The
Niagara Rim
Poker Run is
going Hawaiian
for their annual
July event.
Some of you
might recall
that Big Foot
visited the 2012 poker run and luck
was flowing over at the 2013 poker run
as participants were given many good
luck charms throughout the trail and
congratulated by a leprechaun at the
top of the Rock Pile.
For the July 11-13 poker run, 4x4 in
Motion decided to bring a bit of the
island fever to the Stanislaus National
Forest. We won’t go overboard, but
we will have some fun with lei’s and,
well, who can resist the Hawaiian shirt?
That’s right folks, we will have some
cash prizes for the ugliest Hawaiian
shirts worn on the trail!
To all the people who return to our
run each and every year, please come
back! We really appreciate your support, friendship and the fun you bring
to our run. If you have never been to
our poker run, we sure would love the
chance to show you what we bring to
the table. We like to visit with everyone in the early evening on Friday,
where participants come to base camp
to socialize and tell wheeling stories.
Saturday, you will get to do some great
wheeling, gather your poker hands and
maybe get lei’d on the trail. With your
registration, you will get two delicious
tri-tip dinners that will be followed by
an awesome
raffle. It is still
too early to
list the raffle
prizes but in
the past we
have had ARB

OPEN GATES
SUZY JOHNSON
IN GEAR EDITOR
All of us love an open
gate. Sometimes we see
them on our morning commute, or way out in the
desert as we head out with
our toys. What lies beyond
it? Is the public allowed? We
make a note to check it out
someday.
That day finally comes
and you arrive at the gate.
Only this time, it’s closed
and a prominent sign confirms that it was closed with
finality and purpose. Another
opportunity lost. You wonder to yourself if there was
something that you could
have done.
Vignettes like this play out
throughout our state every
day. Public lands are under
attack by a litany of laws,
local ordinances, regulations, litigation and lack of
funds. Personnel shortages
due to budget cuts allow
our beautiful lands to fall
into disrepair. Sometimes the
easiest solution is to simply
block access, leaving our
memories and enjoyment
locked inside.
The next time that you
are out enjoying a county
road, BLM land, a state park,
or a ride in the forest, ask
yourself if you are sure that
this land will be available for
your kids to enjoy ten years
from now. How about your
grandkids twenty years from
now? I’ll bet you don’t know
the answer to that question.
Do you care enough to find
out? It’s a pretty safe bet
that there is some sort of
pending regulation, environmental compliance, lawsuit
or other action with lots of
letters in its abbreviation that
is going to have an effect on
the area that you have been
enjoying for years, along
with the trail that you just
discovered yesterday.
So what are you going
to do about it? You barely
have time to get out on the
trail, let alone get involved in
the process of keeping land
open. And besides, you are
just one person.
The best idea is to call
the person in charge of the
trail/park/road that you are
on. Ask them if there is any-
thing pending that is going
to affect your ability to recreate in the area. If there is,
ask them how you can get
involved and give your input.
Still can’t dial the phone?
Remember that excuse
about being just one person
and how you have convinced yourself that you
can’t make a difference?
That’s where Cal4Wheel
comes into play. It’s the
25th
Annual
same thought that the
association’s founders had
55 years ago, so they got
together to have a bigger
voice. And we are still broadcasting loud and clear for all
of our land managers, litigators and legislators to hear.
They listen when we call.
We can keep your gate open
and your memories alive.
So here is my inevitable
sales pitch: become part of
the louder voice. You can
start by joining Cal4Wheel.
But don’t stop there. Let our
natural resource consultants
know about your favorite
trails/roads/parks. Ask them
if there is anything that you
need to worry about and
how you can help.
Let’s ensure that the next
time you drive up to the
gate it is open wide, with a
trail just for you stretching
far into the horizon.

SWEEPSTAKES 2015
In accepting the offer from Cal4
President Steve Egbert to head up this
year’s “Win A Jeep” Build, our team at
Metalcloak knew we were taking on an
incredible responsibility.
We weren’t just building another
rig, but agreeing to effectively steward
a program with a strong and growing
tradition.
It was a challenge we were willing to accept and a program we are
extremely proud to be a part of.
DRAWING FEBRUARY 21, 2015
Visalia, CA
HERE ARE SOME OF THE GREAT
FEATURES REVEALED AT THE 2014
CONVENTION...
Most prominent was the New
Kakadu rooftop tent from ARB featuring
a lighter overall weight, larger windows
and easier setup.
Winner need not be present to win
Following the awesome 2013 RockReady build of our friends, and Cal4
Supporters, Poison Spyder Customs,
we were struck by the desire to start
with a new theme for a new year.
After much internal discussion and
meetings with the Cal4 Team, we
chose “Expedition California” - creating
the perfect Jeep for a family to venture
across our beautiful state and this great
country.
Presented for the first time at the
2014 Cal 4 Convention in Visalia,
California, the Metalcloak-built Jeep
featured many of the great products
from awesome sponsors core to its
theme. However, there is much more
to come.
As was said in a statement by
Metalcloak at the Cal 4 Convention,
“we hope this build is worthy of the
great work of the California Association
of 4 Wheel Drive Clubs and all its outstanding members.”
Thank you again. Now let’s sell
some tickets!
nnn
Supporting the tent is the Kargo
Master Kongo Cage which attaches
using brackets tied into existing bolt
holes at front window hinges and rear
body mounts for easy installation &
removal.
The 10lb CO2 Powertank is a powerful air system that re-fills tires quicker
than most any onboard air system, is
portable, has the capability to re-seat
tire beads, and can run air tools.

SWEEPSTAKES 2015
Metalcloak’s Overland Fenders are
a simple-to-install, replacement fender
for those weak plastic factory fenders offering more clearance and trail-ready
strength
Warn Industries graciously donated
the new Zeon winch featuring a durable satin-black cast-aluminum housing
with a configurable, sealed, control
pack that lets you mount the winch the
way you want.
Raceline Wheels has over 35 years
of experience building wheels for on
and off-road and provided one of the
best wheels we could have asked for
- the machined finish, non-beadlock,
Monster - perfect for the expedition rig
with style.
The “Expedition California” build features a prototype “Gen 2” Frame-Built
Bumper System from Metalcloak that
does not require removal of the stock
frame rail cross bracing - hence it is
incredibly easy to install.
The suspension is Metalcloak’s 3.5”
Game-Changer, ARB Edition featuring
Old Man Emu shocks and Metalcloak’s
advanced Duroflex Joint technology.
BF Goodrich has a long history of
supporting Cal 4 and did not disappoint
this year with 37 x 12.50 BFG KM2’s
that add that extra level of confidence
and style to “Expedition California.”

ALL UNITED FOR CONVENTION 2014
AMY CAVE
The 55th Anniversary California
Association 4 Wheel Drive Clubs
has come to a close and what
a success. The theme, “United
We Stand” was truly portrayed at
the convention. I did not see just
North, Central, and South District,
but did see everyone working together for one purpose,
keeping our lands open. I also saw
everyone from all districts helping out
at the convention. Everyone from all
over the association was asking if they
could help and not just putting it on
one district. The Central District may
of been the home town for the event,
but everyone was helping. The South
District is the chair of the event of next
year but are asking for help from all of
us because we are truly “United” as one
association.
I wish to thank everyone for all of
their help with convention. I hope
everyone had a great time and are
looking forward to next year’s convention, February 20, 21, and 22, 2015 at
the Lamplighter Inn sponsored by the
South District. Your chairpersons at this
time are Bonnie Ferguson and Angela
Cook. If you are willing to give a helping hand, please contact them.
